Be Kind to Your Web Footed Friends

Be kind to your web-footed friends
For a duck may be somebody's mother
Who lives all alone in a swamp
Where it's very cold and damp
You might think that this is the end
Well it's not caus' I know another stanza

Be kind to your web-footed friends
For that cop may be Dick Tracy's brother
Who lives all alone on the beat
On a dark and dingy street
You might think that this is the end
Well, Why not!


Boa Constrictor

I'm being eaten my a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor, a boa constrictor

Oh no there goes my toe
Oh gee he's got my knee
Oh my there goes my thigh
Oh hum there goes my bum
Oh darn there goes my arm
Oh heck he's got my neck
Oh gee he's eaten me.
(repeat)

Brownie Smile Song
I've got something in my pocket, it belongs across my face.

Bill Grogan's Goat

Bill Grogan's goat (echo - was feeling fine)
Ate two red shirts (echo - right off the line)

And tied him to a railroad track
The whistle blew, the train grew nigh
Now that poor goat was doomed to die
He gave a shriek of mortal pain
Coughed up that shirt, flagged down train

The Bear (Echo Song - leader sings - group ''echo's")

The other day
I met a bear
A great big bear
Oh way up there!
(sing complete verse all together)

He looked at me
I looked at him
He sized up me
I sized up him!
(sing complete verse all together)


He said to me
"Why don't you run?
I see you ain't
Got any gun!"
(sing complete verse all together)

I said to him
that's a good idea!
"So, come on feet..
let's up and fleet!"
(sing complete verse all together)

And so I ran
Away from there
But right behind
Me was that bear!
(sing complete verse all together)

Then straight ahead
I spied a tree
A great big tree
Oh, lucky me!
(sing complete verse all together)

But the lowest branch
Was ten feet up
I'd have to jump
And trust my luck!
(sing complete verse all together)

And so I jumped
Into the air
But I missed that branch
Away up there!

(sing complete verse all together)

Now don't you fret
Now don't you frown
'Cause I caught that branch
On the way back down!
(sing complete verse all together)

This is the end
There ain't no more
Unless I meet
That bear once more!
(sing complete verse all together)

And then I met
That bear once more
Now he's a rug
On my bedroom floor!
(sing complete verse all together)

Drag the Magic Puffin

There once was a puffin just the shape of a muffin
And he lived on an island in the deep blue sea
And he ate little fishes that were most delicious
And he had them for supper and he had them for tea.

Now this little puffin, he couldn't play nothin'
For he hadn't anybody to play with at all
So he sat on his isle and he cried for awhile
And he felt very little and he felt very small.

Now these little fishes, they said "If you wishes
You may have us for playmates instead of for tea"
Now they all play together in all kinds of weather
And Drag the magic puffin eats pancakes
Like you and me.

The First Aider's Song
(The Twelve Days of Christmas)

On the first day of camping the Leader sent to me
A boy who had skinned his knee

On the second day of camping the Leader sent to me
Two banged heads, and a boy who had skinned his knee

three nose-bleeds . .
four mozzie bites . .
five nettle-stings . .
six boys with splinters . .
seven upset tummies . .
eight cuts and grazes . .
nine twisted ankles . .
ten homesick Leaders . .
eleven boys with measles . .
twelve angry parents .

I'm Being Swallowed by a Boa Constrictor

I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor
And I don't like it one little bit!
Oh no! He swallowed my toe
Oh gee! He's up to my knee
Oh my! He's up to my thigh
Oh fiddle! He's up to my middle
Oh heck! He's up to my neck
Oh dread! He's up to my head!

It's a Small World
It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we were aware
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means friendship
to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
and the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all

Pink Pajamas
(Battle Hymn of the Republic)

I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot
I wear my flannel nighties in the winter when it's not
And sometime in the springtime and sometimes in the fall
I slip between the sheets with nothing on at all
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, what's it to ya
Balmy breezes blowing through ya
With nothing on at all

Kookaburra
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
Merry merry gay your life must be
Ha, ha, ha!

Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra
Save some there for me
Yum, yum, yum!

The Last Unicorn

When the last eagle flies,
Over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars,
At the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest,
Though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving
At the Last Unicorn

When the first breath of winter,
Through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north,
And a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying,
And would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear her laughter It's the Last Unicorn I'm alive....... I'm alive

When the last moon is cast
Over the last star of morning
And the future is past,
Without even a last desparate warning
Then look into the sky where through,
The cloudes a path is formed
Look and see her how she shimmers,
It's the Last Unicorn I'm alive... I'm alive!!!!

Little Skunk Song

Oh I stuck my head in a little skunk hole,
And the little skunk said, "Well bless my soul."
"Take it out, take it out, take it out, REmove it!"
Well, I didn't take it out, so the little skunk said,
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish that you did!"
"Take it out, take it out, take it out!"
Well, I didn't take it out, so the little skunk said,
”Psssssst”
I removed it too late! 

Make New Friends
Make new friends but keep the old,
One is silver and the other gold.

A circle's round, it has no end,
That's how long I want to be your friend.

I have a hand, and you have another,
Put them together and we have each other.

Sew good friends wherever you may roam,
You'll be welcome in my heart and home.

You help me and I'll help you,
And together we will make it through.

A fire burns bright, it warms the heart,
We've been friends right from the very start.

New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of the time!

Friends like you are one of a kind,
Very special, but hard to find.

Friends are real and friends are true,
If you love them they will love you too.

Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good, but old is best;

Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be.

Make new friends, but keep the old:
Those are silver, these are gold

Friends like you are one of a kind,
Very special but hard to find.

So good friend wherever you may roam,
You'll be welcome in my heart and home.

Puff the Magic Dragon
 
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff
Oh! Puff the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hanalee
Puff the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hanalee
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sails
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow when ere they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.
Oh! Puff the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hanalee
Puff the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hanalee
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant’s rings make way for other toys
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
So Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the Cherry Lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave
So Puff, that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.
Oh! Puff the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hanalee
Puff the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
in a land called Hanalee
 

On My Honor
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done and I say aye
There's a reason down below for a reason above
My honor is to try and my duty is love

People don't need to know my name
If I do any harm, then I'm to blame
If I help somebody, then I help me
If I've opened my eyes then I will see

I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low, there's one for you
When you need a friend, then I will come
There are many more where I come from

Come with me where a fire burns bright
We can even see better in a candle's light
But we find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than we'd ever learn in a year or so

We've made a promise to always keep
And the day is done before we sleep
We'll be Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be trying and singing this song

The Princess Pat

I'm just singing in the rain!

Thumbs Up!
Elbows In!
Knees Bent!
Knees Together!
Chest Out!
Butt Out!
Head Back!
Tongues out!

I Had A Little Marshmallow (S'mores Song)
(tune: Brownie Smile Song)

I had a little marshmallow
I put it on a stick, then held it over the fire,
it toasted mighty quick...
between two graham crackers
and a piece of chocolate,
S'mores is what they call it
and I ate up every bit!

Taps

Day is done, (raise both hands up to sky with palms up)
gone the sun
(lower both hands down with palms down)
From the lakes
(both hands go straight out in front of you; as if pointing to a lake)
from the hills
(both hands go up in front of you and meet together to form a point; to make a hill)
from the sky
(both hands go straight up in the air; pointing to the sky)
All is well
(left hand comes down in front of you pointing towards right elbow)
safely rest
(right hand comes down on top of left arm; finger-tips are on elbows)
God is nigh.
(forehead rests down onto arms in front of you)

Fading light, dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise for our days
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight
And the stars gleaming rays softly send
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

The Unicorn

A long time ago when the earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the ark was being born
But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn

There were green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpback camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn

Now God seen some sinnin' and it gave him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo"

"Take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpback camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
Don't you forget my unicorn"

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started fallin'
He marched in the animals two by two
And he called out as they went through

"Hey Lord, I got You green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpback camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but I'm so forlorn
I just can't see no unicorn"

Then Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashin' while the rain was pourin'
Oh, them silly unicorns

There were green alligators and long-necked geese
some humpback camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain was pourin'
And we just can't wait for no unicorn"

The ark started movin' and it drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That's why you never seen a unicorn to this very day

You'll see some green alligators and long-necked geese
some humpback camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but as sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorn

The littlest worm
I ever saw
Was stuck inside
My soda straw! (repeat all together)

He said to me
Don't take a sip
For if you do
I'll surely flip! (repeat)

I took a sip
And he went down
All through my pipes
He surely drowned! (repeat)

He was my pal
He was my friend
But now he's gone
And that's the end! (repeat)

Don't tale a sip
Of soda fizz! (repeat)

Now don't you fear
That little worm
Had scuba gear (repeat)

(leader sings a line, everyone repeats)

A way down yonder and not far away
