Baby shark, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Grandpa shark .. .

Went for a swim ...

Swam real fast...

Shark attack ...

Banana Slug

You know I love my baby

Love the way she hugs

Some people don't

Understand it she's a

Banana slug!

BA-NA-NA SLUG!

She's got just one foot

She ain't got no toes she

Hangs out in the forest and

helps it decompose

BA-NA-NA SLUG!

Some people think she's gross

but I don't hear that jive

If it weren't for my baby

The forest might not survive

BA-NA-NA SLUG!

The way you wiggle your antennae

You know you give me such bliss

Come on, come on, come on banana slug

Won't you give me a kiss

BA-NA-NA SLUG!

The way you slide through the forest

You know you look so fine

Come on, come on, come on banana slug

Let me follow your slim

BA-NA-NA SLUG! Ba-na-na-na-na nana ... banana slug

(X3) BA-NA-NA SLUG!

The Banio Song

I u-lu-lu-sed to play-lay-lay

My ol-ol-old banjo-lo-lo

But my-ly-ly banjo-lo-lo got bro-lo-lo-lo-loke

I too-lo-look it to-loo-loo

The me-le-lender shol-ol-op

But the me-le-lender shol-ol-op

Was clo-lo-lo-lo-losed

I to-lo-look it to-loo-loo

Ano-lo-lother shol-ol-op

To see-lee-lee what they-le-le

Could do-loo-loo-loo-loo

They fi-li-lixed the stri-li-ling

On my-Ii-Ii banjo-lo-lo

And now-low-low it play-lay-lays

Like new-loo-loo-loo-loo. TWANG!

Barges

Out of my window, looking in the night

I can see the barges' flickering light

Silently flows the river out to sea

And the barges too go silently

CHORUS:

Barges, I would like to go with you

I would like to sail the ocean blue

Barges, have you treasures in your hold?

Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

Out ofmy window, looking in the night

I can see the barges' flickering light

Starboard shines green and port is glowing red

You can see them flickering far ahead

CHORUS

One of these days and it will not be long,

You will look for me and I'll be gone

Face to the wind, far out upon the sea,

Where the whales and dolphins sing to me

CHORUS

Bazooka Bubblegum

My mom gave me a penny

She told me to buy a henny

But I didn't buy no henny

Instead, I bought some bubblegum.

Bazooka-zooka bubblegum


My mom gave me a nickel

She told me to buy a pickle

But I didn't buy no pickle




My mom gave me a dime

She told me to buy a lime

But I didn't buy no lime




My mom gave me a quarter

She told me to buy some water

But I didn't buy no water




My mom gave me a dollar

She told me to buy a collar

But I didn't buy no collar




My mom gave me a five

She told me to stay alive

But I didn't stay alive

Instead, I choked on bubblegum.



Brownie Smile Song

I've got something in my pocket

That belongs across my face

I keep it very close at hand

In a most convenient place

I'm sure you couldn't guess it

If you guessed a long long while

So I'll take it out and put it on

It's a great big Brownie Smile!

Buddies and Pals

You and me, we're gonna be partners.

You and me, we're gonna be pals.

You and me, we're gonna be partners,

Buddies and pals, buddies and pals.

Da Moose (Repeat)

Da moose, da moose

Swimming in da water

Eating his supper

What do he do?

He went to sleep!

Da moose, da moose,

Floating in da water,

Not eating his supper,

Where did he go?

He is now dead.

Da moose, da moose

Floating in the water

Not eating his supper

What do he do?

He decomposed!

Did You Ever See a Daisy

Did you ever see a Daisy, a Daisy, a Daisy,

Did you ever see a Daisy, a Daisy Girl Scout,

Go this way and that way and that way and this

way,

Did you ever see a Daisy, a Daisy Girl Scout?

Dip, Dip, and Swing

My paddle's clean and bright,

Flashing like silver

Follow the wild goose flight

Dip, dip, and swing.

Dip, dip, and swing her back,

Flashing like silver,

Soft as the wild goose flight,

Dip, Dip, and Swing.

Donut Shop

Well, I ran around the comer

And I ran around the block

And I ran right into a Donut Shop

And I picked up a donut

And I wiped off the grease,

And I handed the lady MY five-cent piece.

Well, she looked at the nickel

And she looked at me,

And she said, "This money is no good you

see

There's a hole in the middle

And it goes right through."

And I said, "There's a hole in the donut

too."

Thanks for the donut,

Toodle-doo!

Down By the Bay

CHORUS:(repeat after each verse)

Down by the bay,

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home, I dare not go

For ifl do My mother will say:

'

Did you ever see a whale, with a polka dot

tail?

Did you ever see a fly, wearing a tie?

Did you ever see a bear, combing his hair?

Did you ever see pig, wearing a wig?

Did you ever see a goose drinking apple

juice?

Did you ever see a goat riding in a boat?

Did you ever see dragon, pulling a wagon?

Did you ever see a moose with a loose front

tooth?

Did you ever see a fox, hiding in a box?

Did you ever see a bee, with a sunburnt

knee?

Did you ever see a snake baking a cake?

Did you ever see a cat, wearing a hat?

Duck Rover

I'm an old duck rover from out in Montana

Round up them duckies and drive them along

To a flooded corral,

Where we bulldog and brand 'em,

Mosey on home just a singin' this song.

CHORUS:

Singin' quack-quack-yippie-ay

And a quack-quack-yippie-oh,

Git along little duckies, get along real slow.

It's dirty and smelly and it really don't pay,

But I'll be a duck girl 'til the end of my days

On Saturday nights, I ride into town

On a short-legged pony

With my hat pulled way down.

But the boys don't like duck girls,

And I can't figure out why,

No cowgirl could be

More romantic than I.

CHORUS

There's danger, adventure,

And romance I know,

From a wild duck stampede

To a duck rodeo

But there's loneliness too,

And it cuts to the bone,

When you smell like duck feathers,

You're always alone.

CHORUS

Flicker

The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the

pines.

The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.

A place where people gather - make friends of

all kinds.

A place where "Old Man Trouble" is always left

behind.

So give me the light of a campfire, make it warm

and bright.

And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be

here all night.

Love is for those who find it; I've found mine

right here.

Just you and I and the campfire and the songs

we love to hear.

Da dum, da da da da da dum ...

Forest Ranger

I wanna be a forest ranger ahumm, ahumm

I wanna be a forest ranger, ahumm, ahumm

I wanna be a forest ranger,

I wanna live a life of danger

I wanna be a forest ranger, ahumm, ahumm

Fried Ham

Fried ham, fried ham, cheese and bologna

After the macaroni, we'll have

Onions, pickles, and pretzels

And then we'll have some more fried ham

FRIED HAM! FRIED HAM!

9

Froggies (Repeat)

Dog!

Dog cat!

Dog cat mouse!

Froggies!

Itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, little yellow froggies

Jump, jump, jump, jump little froggies

Eating all the teeny-weeny worms and spiders

Worms and fleas, scrumpdidliumptious!

'G' for Generosity

She wears a G for generosity.

She wears an I for interest, too.

She wears an R for real good sportsmanship.

She wears an L for loyalty, for loyalty!

She wears an S for her sincerity,

She wears a C for courtesy

She wears an O-U-T for outdoor life, outdoor

life and that Girl Scout's me!

The Geoduck Song

You can hear the diggers say

As they're headed for the bay

Oh, I've gotta dig a duck

Gotta dig a duck a day.

For I get a buck a duck

If I dig a duck a day,

So I've gotta dig a duck,

Gotta dig a duck a day.

CHORUS:

Dig a duck, dig a duck, dig a geoduck,

Dig a duck, dig a geoduck, dig a duck a day.

Dig a duck, dig a duck, dig a geoduck,

Dig a duck, dig a geoduck, dig a duck a day.

Well, it takes a lot ofluck

And a certain kind of pluck

Just to get around the muck

Just to get a geoduck.

For he doesn't have a front

And he doesn't have a back

And he doesn't know a Donald

And he doesn't go quack.

CHORUS

Girl Scouts are High-Minded

Girl Scouts are high-minded

Bless my soul, they're double-jointed

They climb hills and they don't mind it

All day long

The Gnome Song (Round)

Heigh-ho cried the merry gnomes (clap, clap)

It's off to the woods we (clap) are (clap)

We'd like to stay but time is (clap, clap) short.

God Bless My Underwear

God bless my underwear

My only pair

Stand beside them

And guide them

Through the rips and the holes and the tears

From the washer

To the dryer

To the dresser

To my rear,

God bless my underwear

Or I'd be bare!

10

Grand Old Duke of York

The Grand Old Duke of York,

He had ten thousand men

He marched them up (stand) a hill

And he marched them down (sit) again.

And when you're up (stand), you're up,

And when you're down (sit), you're down,

But when you're only half-way up (half-way)

You're neither up (stand) nor down (sit)!

Great Big Moose (Repeat)

There was a great big moose

He liked to drink a lot of juice

There was a great big moose

He liked to drink a lot of juice

Chorus:

Singin' way-oh, way-oh

Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh

Way-oh, way-oh

Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh

The moose's name was Fred

He liked to drink his juice in bed

The moose's name was Fred

He liked to drink his juice in bed.

(Chorus)

He drank his juice with care

But he spilled some in his hair

He drank his juice with care

But he spilled some in his hair

(Chorus)

Now he's a sticky moose

Full of juice

On the loose!

Green Trees/Taps

Green trees around us, blue skies above

Friends all around us, in a world filled with love.

Taps sounding softly, hearts beating true,

As campers say "Goodnight to you."

Day is done. Gone the sun

from the lakes, from the hills, from the skies.

All is well. Safely rest.

God is nigh. (And good night.)

The Horse Song

Oh, the horse put his foot,

Put his foot on the ground.

Oh the horse put his foot,

Put his foot on the ground,

Oh the horse put his foot,

Put his foot on the ground.

Now ain't that a terrible song?

Yes it is!

I'm a Daisy Girl Scout

I'm a Daisy Girl Scout dressed in blue,

I'm a Daisy Girl Scout you are, too.

When I go meetings I scream and shout,

I love being a Daisy Girl Scout!

I Love the Mountains

I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills

I love the flowers, I love the daffodils

I love the fireside, When all the lights are low

Boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada,

Boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada

(Continue boom-de-adas and repeat first 3 lines)

11

Jimmy Brown

Chorus:

Singin' hey la di da

Hey la di di

Oh Ii ot in oh

And all the oxen free

Oh I can run faster than jimmy brown

I'm the king of the mountain

And you'll never get me down

Run and jump and skip and fall

You think you're tall but you're so small

Mama calls for supper no more play

Soon comes tomorrow it'll be another day

CHORUS

Up bright and early got a lot to do

Gonna build a castle and go to the zoo

And visit mother goose in storybook land

Why does mommy hold my hand?

CHORUS

I'm pretty old now five n a half

Soon I'll be like daddy and never laugh

Cause when you're old you gotta be strong

You're not a child for very long

CHORUS

I'm full grown now on my own

Oh how I wish I could go back home

And play all day with my old friends

Why does childhood have to end?

CHORUS

Just a Boy and a Girl

Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe

With the moon shining all around

They paddled their paddles so

You couldn't even hear a sound

Well, they talked and they talked

'Til the moon grew dim

He said you better kiss me or get out and swim

Well, whatcha gonna do in a little canoe

With the moon shinin' all-a

Boat's a-floatin' all-a

Boys a-swimmin' all around

Linger

Mm-mm it doesn't seem quite right

Mm-mm that it's my last night here with you

Mm-mm and come September

Mm-mm I will remember

Mm-mm our camping days and friendships true

Mm-mm and as the years go by

Mm-mm I'll think of you and sigh

Mm-mm this is good night and not good bye

Little Birdie

Little birdie in the sky, in the sky

Why'd you do that in my eye, in my eye?

I'm a big girl, I won't cry

I'm just glad that cows don't fly, cows don't fly!

12

I have a friend who is a llama.

He wears a hat and coat.

Do not touch his hat and coat.

It really gets his goat.




He can really hock a loogie.

You should see him hock a loogie.

While he does the boogie.




He likes to sing and dance.

You should see him sing and dance.

In his llama dancing pants.



13

Madness

Oh, I was born one night one mom

When the whistle went boom-boom

You can buy a steak or fry a cake

When the mud pies are in bloom

Do six and six make nine?

Does ice grow on a vine?

Is old Joe an Eskimo in the good old

Summer time?

You can loop-de-loop

Through your noodle soup

Just to give your socks a shine

I'm guilty judge, I stole the fudge

Three cheers for auld lang syne

I cannot tell a lie, I hocked an apple pie

It's on a tree, beneath the sea,

Above the clear blue sky!

If Easter eggs don't shave their legs

Their children will have ducks

I'd rather buy a lemon pie for forty-seven bucks

Way down in Barcelonia

They fell into the foam-ia

And this is all baloney-a

Paderewski, blow your horn!

Toot toot!

When I was young I thought the stars were made

for wishing on

And every hole deep in a tree must hide a

leprechaun

Old houses all had secret rooms if one could find

the door

But who believes in magic any more

CHORUS: Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of

ram

Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again

Magic is the love that stays when good friends

have to leave

I do believe in magic, I believe

When I grew up the grown ups said I'd wake

one day to find

Magic was a childish game I'd have to leave

behind

Like clothes that would no longer fit and toys

that I'd ignore

I'd not believe in magic any more

CHORUS

But now my childhood's far behind, I've learned

to my surprise

Magic did not fade, it only wears a new disguise

A child, a song, a smile, a friend, the courage to

stand tall

And love's the greatest magic of them all.

CHORUS ENDING:

Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of

ram

Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again

Magic is the love that stays when good friends

have to leave

I do believe in magic, For Love's the Greatest

Magic

And I believe in magic, I believe

14

Make New Friends

Make new friends, but keep the old

One is silver and the other gold

A circle is 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.

Me and My Dinosaur

One day when the weather was cloudy and gray,

And I wished someone would come over and

play,

I heard a "knock - knock" and I opened the

door,

And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!

CHORUS:

Me and my dinosaur!

I never had such a friend before!

As big as a house, twenty times and a half,

And fifty times taller than any giraffe!

Legs long as Sequoia trees!

Teeth big as piano keys!

No two people are buddies more

Than me and my dinosaur!

I brought out some cookies and we had a snack

And she said she'd give me a ride piggy back

I started to climb from her tail to her cheek

Without stopping once took a year and a week.

CHORUS

We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze,

While leap-frogging over the coconut trees,

And when we got thirsty, mile after mile,

In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile!

CHORUS

Moon on the Meadow

Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears

Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears.

On up the meadow, water somewhere,

We were the only ones there.

Wild horse and Slushy, Dry Lake, the Peaks,

Finding the love there, everyone seeks

Hiking to rainbows, sunsets and stars,

Just finding out who we are

We will return here, one lucky day,

Our hearts will guide us, They've learned the

way

People in cities don't understand

Falling in love with the land

Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears,

Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears.

On up the meadow, water somewhere

With you, my friend, I am there.

15

Mountain Girl

CHORUS:

All around the mountain drivin' Betsy

All around the mountain Laura Lee

If I ever see that girl again I hope she remembers

me

Yee-Haw!

City girls they have those fancy dresses

Country girls they have the same

Mountain girls just wear old overalls

But they get there just the same, yee-haw!

City girls they have high heel shoes

Country girls they have the same

Mountain girls just have old hiking boots

But they get there just the same, yee-haw!

Other verses:

City girls: flushing toilets

Mountain girls: just use a friendly bush

City girls: fancy operas

Mountain girls: sing all their favorite songs

City girls: pure-bred horses

Mountain girls: just have a grumpy mule

City girls: showy cars

Mountain girls: just hike up all the trails

City girls: guilty toilet paper

Mountain girls: just find a maple leaf

City girls: frilly bras

Mountain girls: just let it all hang out

Music Shall Live

All things shall perish from under the sky

Music alone shall live, music alone shall live

Music alone shall live, never to die.

My Highland Goat

My highland goat

Was feeling fine

Ate all my shorts

Right off the line

I took a stick

And gave a whack

And tied him to

The rail road track

The whistle blew

The train grew nigh

My highland goat

Was sure to die

He gave a groan

Of mortal pain

Coughed up my shorts

And flagged the train

On My Honor

CHORUS (every 2 verses)

On my honor I will try,

There's a duty to be done and I say I,

There's a reason here for a reason above,

My honor is to try and my duty is to love

People don't need to know my name

If I do any harm then I'm to blame

When I help another then I help me

If I've opened up my eyes to 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.

CHORUS

Come with me where a fire bums 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.

CHORUS

17

On The Loose

CHORUS:

On the loose to climb a mountain, On the loose

where I am free,

On the loose to live my life the way I think my

life should be.

For I only have a moment, and a whole world

yet to see.

I'll be lookin' for tomorrow on the loose.

Have you ever seen the sunrise tum the sky

completely red?

Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a

pine bough for your bed?

Have you sat and talked with friends, though a

word was never said?

Then you're just like me and you've been on the

loose.

CHORUS

There's a trail that I'll be hiking just to see where

it might go,

Many places yet to visit, many people yet to

know.

But in following my dreams, I will live and I

will grow,

In a world that's waiting out there on the loose.

CHORUS

So in search of love and laughter, I am traveling

'cross this land.

Never sure of where I'm going, for I haven't any

plans.

Anytime when you are ready, come and join me

take my hand. And together we'll share life out

on the loose.

CHORUS

As I sit and watch the sunset and the daylight

slowly fades,

I am thinking of tomorrow, and the friendships I

have made.

I will treasure them for always, and I hope that

you will too.

And forever we'll share life out on the loose.

CHORUS

Oyster Stew

One day I ordered an oyster stew

Alone, tee hee, all alone

And one little oyster loomed in view

Alone, tee hee, all alone

He winked at me and he blinked at me

I've been in many a stew said he,

But don't tell the chef that you saw me

Alone, tee hee, all alone.

And maybe I'll go to the junior prom


And maybe I'll sit by the chaperone,


And maybe somebody will wink at me

And I will wink at them, tee hee,

And then you will see that I will not be

Alone, tee hee, all alone!

Peace like a River

I've got peace like a river,


I've got peace like a river in my soul



I've got peace like a river in my soul

I've got joy like a fountain .. .

I've got love like an ocean .. .

Plant a rose for me.

Plant an apple tree.

The rain will fall and the tree will grow,

And whether you comes, or whether you goes,

Lovely to bite, and nice to my nose.

And every juicy nibble will be

A sweet reminder of the time you loved me

And planted a rose for me,

And an apple tree.

Open mine eyes that I may see

I'm a knock-kneed hen

Haven't been so happy

Since I don't know when

I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk

Doin' the Tennessee Wiggle Walk

Put your heels together and your knees apart

Snap your fingers ready and start

Flap your elbows just for luck

As you wibble and you wobble like a baby duck

Come dance with me baby

Keep your toes in time

Haven't been so happy in a long long time

I walk with a. wiggle and a giggle and a squawk

The Other Day

(Every four lines call-and-response, then sing all four together)

The other day

I met a bear

In tennis shoes

A dandy pair

He looked at me

I looked at him

He sized up me

I sized up him

He said to me

Why don't you run?

I see you ain't

Got any gun

And so I ran

Away from there

But right behind

Me was that bear

Ahead ofme

I saw a tree

A great big tree

Oh glory be

The nearest branch

Was ten feet up

I'd have to jump

And trust my luck

And so Ijumped

Into the air

But I missed that branch

A way up there

Now don't you fret

Now don't you frown

'Cuz I caught that branch

On the way back down

The moral is

No shocking news

Don't talk to bears

In tennis shoes

That's all there is

There ain't no more

Unless I meet

That bear once more

The end, the end

The end, the end

The end, the end

The end, the end

We Come From the Mountains

We come from the mountains,

We come from the mountains

Go back to the mountains

And turn the world around

We come from the mountains

Go back to the mountains

And turn the world around.

We come from the fire ...

We come from the water ...

We come from the sky ...

We come from Girl Scouts ...

We come from the mountains,

We come from the fire

Go back to the water

And turn the world around

We come from the sky

Go back to Girl Scouts

And turn the world around.

What Can Make A Hippopotamus Smile?

(Repeat)

What can make a hippopotamus smile?

What can make him walk for more than a mile?

It's not a party in a paper hat

Or a barrel of candy that will make him fat

That's not what hippos do!

They ooze through the goose without any shoes

They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue

That's what hippos do!

What can make a hippopotamus smile?

What can make him walk for more than a mile?

It's not a tune on the old violin

Or listening to the whistling wind

That's not what hippos do!

They ooze through the goose without any shoes

They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue

That's what hippos,

Yes, that's what hippos,

Yes, that's what hippos do!

White Coral Bells

White coral bells upon a slender stalk

Lilies of the valley deck my garden walk

Oh don't you wish that you could hear them ring?

That will happen only when the fairies sing.

Wings of an Aeroplane

Open your songbooks to page 13 !

If I had the wings of an aeroplane- aeroplane?

Up to the sky I would fly, would fly

If I had the wings of an aeroplane- aeroplane?

I'd fly 'til the day I would die, would die.

Chorus.

Ooh la la ooh la la ooh la la Repeat

Ooh la la ooh la la la Again

Ooh la la ooh la la ooh la la Once more

Ooh la la ooh la la la The end!
