The Ash Grove Down yonder green valley where streamlet ... · 2 –High heel shoes…wear old...

1

The Ash Grove Down yonder green valley where streamlet meander, When twilight is fading I pensively rove, Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove. It’s there that the blackbird is cheerfully singing Each warbler enchants with his notes from the tree. Ah, then little think I of sorrow or sadness The ash grove entrancing spells beauty for me. I’m a Nut Song I’m a nut that’s big and round, Lying on the cold, cold ground. People come and stomp on me, That is why I’m cracked, you see. Chorus: I’m a nut (clap, clap), I’m a nut (clap, clap), I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut (clap, clap). Called myself on the telephone, Just to see if I was home. Asked myself out on a date; Picked me up at half past eight. CHORUS Took myself to the picture show, Sat right down in the very third row. Wrapped my arms around my waist, Got so fresh, I slapped my face. CHORUS Birdie, birdie in the sky, Dropped some whitewash in my eye. I’m a big girl, I won’t cry, Just as long as you know why. CHORUS Coca Cola went to town, Pepsi Cola shot him down. Dr. Pepper fixed him up, Now he looks like 7-Up. CHORUS

I caught a little baby bumble bee, Oww! It stung me! I’m smashing up the baby bumble bee, Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m smashing up the baby bumble bee, Eww! It’s all sticky! I’m licking up the baby bumble bee, Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m licking up the baby bumble bee, Blech! That’s ickey! I’m barfing up the baby bumble bee, Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m barfing up the baby bumble bee, Ick! That’s smelly! I’m mopping up the baby bumble bee, Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m mopping up the baby bumble bee, There! All clean!

Bazooka Bubblegum Song My mom gave me a penny. She said go buy a henny. But I didn’t buy no henny. CHORUS: Instead, I bought bubblegum, Bazooka-zooka bubblegum, Bazooka-zooka bubblegum.

She said go buy a collar. But I didn’t buy no collar. CHORUS My mom gave me a five. She said just stay alive. But I didn’t stay alive. Instead, I choked on bubblegum. Bazooka-zooka bubblegum.

Bug Juice Song (Tune: On Top of Old Smokey)

At camp with the Girl Scouts

They gave us a drink.

We thought it was Kool-Aid

Because it was pink.

But the thing that they told us

Would gross out a moose,

For the good-tasting pink drink

Was really bug juice.

It looks fresh and fruity

Like tasty Kool-Aid.

But the bugs that are in it

Were murdered with Raid.

We drank it by gallons,

We drank it by tons,

But then the next morning,

We all had the runs.

Next time you drink bug juice

And a fly drives you mad,

He’s just getting even

‘Cause you swallowed his dad.

Charmin’ Betsy

CHORUS:

All around the mountain Charmin’ Betsy, Betsy

All around the mountain Laura Lee-eeeee

If I ever see her again,

May the good Lord remember me. Yee Hah!

City girls they wear those fancy dresses. 2 – High heel shoes…wear old hiking boots

Country girls they do the same. 3 – That fancy perfume…just go au natural

Mountain girls wear blue overalls, 4 – Use them flush toilets…find a friendly

bush

But they get there just the same. 5 – Them bathing suits…wear nothin’ at all

6 – Fancy bras…just let it all hang out

CHORUS

Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips (Tune: Supercalifagilisticexpealadocious)

CHORUS:

Chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes

Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs,

Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty flat mud pies,

Stir them all together and it’s Mama’s Soup Surprise!

Oh, when I was just a little kid, I never liked to eat.

Mama’d put things on my plate; I’d dump them on her feet.

But then one day she made this soup; I ate it all in bed.

I asked her what she put in it and this is what she said:

CHORUS!

Ga Gunk Song

Ga gunk went the little green frog one day

Ga gunk went the little green frog.

And his eyes went:

Girl Scouts Together Song

Girl Scouts together, that is our song.

Winding the old trail, rocky and long.

Learning our motto, living our creed,

Girl Scouts together in every good deed.

Girl Scouts together, happy are we,

Friendly to neighbors, far o’er the sea,

Faithful to country, loyal to home,

Known as true Girl Scouts wherever we roam.

Girl Scouts together, onward we go,

Joining our sisters, watching us grow.

Doctors and lawyers, women in space,

We know no boundaries, the future’s our place.

GIRL SCOUT CAMP,

GIRL SCOUT CAMP

The leaders that they give us,

They say are mighty fine,

But when you ask a question,

They say, “Get back in line!”

CHORUS:

O, I don’t want no more of outdoor life,

Gee, mom, I wanna go

But they won’t let me go,

Gee, mom, I wanna go ho-o-ome.

GIRL SCOUT CAMP,

The buses that they give us,


But when they turn a corner,

They leave a wheel behind. CHORUS

But when you break a finger,

They break the other nine. CHORUS

The cocoa that they give us,

They say is mighty fine,

It’s good for cuts and bruises,

And tastes like turpentine. CHORUS

The milk that they have here,


It’s good for bites and rashes,

And tastes like iodine. CHORUS

The toilets that they have here,


But when you sit upon them,

A bug crawls up your spine. CHORUS

The biscuits that they give us,


But one rolled off a table,

And killed a friend of mine. CHORUS

The doctors that they give us,


My friend had a hangnail,

Her funeral’s at nine. CHORUS

The make-up that they give us,


But when you put it on,

You look like Frankenstein. CHORUS

The boyfriends that they give us,


But when you go to kiss them,

They run away and hide. CHORUS

But they won’t let me go,

Gee, mom, I wanna go HO-O-OME.

Addams Family Grace

Chorus:

Da da da dum (snap fingers twice – arms crossed)

Hermie the Worm Song

Chorus:

Sittin’ on a fence post,

Chewin’ my bubble gum,

(smack-smack-smack-smack)

Playin’ with my yo-yo.

(woo-woo)

When along came Hermie the Worm

And he was this big.

And I said,

“Hermie, what happened?”

He said, “I ate my father!” (or breakfast)

CHORUS



And I said,


He said, “I ate my mother!” (or lunch)

CHORUS



And I said,


He said, “I ate my brother!” (or dinner)

CHORUS



And I said,


He said, “I ate my sister!” (or dessert)

CHORUS



And I said,


He said, “I burped!”

Action:

When you say “chewing my bubble

gum,” you act like you’re chewing with

your mouth open and make smacking

noises. While saying “playing with my

yo-yo,” act like you’re playing with a yo-

yo and say “woo, woo!” (supposed to

sound like a train whistle). Each time

you say, “and he was this big,” you hold

your hands like you’re showing how big

a fish is, each time getting bigger until

he burps at the end and then it would be

really small again.

The chorus you sing and the verses you

more or less say.

Humpty Dump Song

(Thigh/clap rhythm for the whole song.)

Humpty-dump, Hump, Humpty-dump, Dumpty-dumpty


Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating his Christmas pie.

He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum and said:

(“What a good boy am I!)



Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider that sat down beside her and frightened:

(Miss Muffett away)



Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he.

He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his:

(fiddlers three)



Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to:

(go)



Little Boy Blue come blow your horn.

The sheep’s is the meadow, the cow’s in the:

(corn)



Hickory, dickory, dock, the mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck one and down he run:

(hickory, dickory, dock)



Hey, diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon,

The little dog laughed to see such sport and the dish ran away with:

(the spoon)



Do as many nursery rhymes as anyone can remember. More fun to sing in a large group where one half

of the group sings and verse and then it’s the other half’s turn. No nursery rhyme can be repeated which

makes it into a contest because each group has to think quickly.

15

Can also sing (instead of Humpty-dump): And threw it out the window, the window,

The second story window,

Give me a rhyme and I’ll sing it in time

And throw it out the window.

Because the wood’s wet, our fires won’t light.

Because we are lazy, our tents fall down.

Because we are Girl Scouts, we sleep on the ground.

Moose Song

There was a great big moose. (There was a great big moose.)

Who liked to drink a lot of juice (Who liked to drink a lot of juice)

There was a great big moose. (There was a great big moose.)

Who liked to drink a lot of juice (Who liked to drink a lot of juice)

CHORUS:

Singing way-oh, way-oh (Singing way-oh, way-oh!)

Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh (Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh)

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 like to drink his juice in bed.

He drank his juice with care……. But he spilled some in his hair.

All his hair went stiff……. So he combed it in a quaff (coif)

His friends began to laugh……. So he had to take a bath

As the water went down……. Fred the moose began to drown

Chorus this time ONLY:

Singing glug-glug-glug-glug-glug, etc.

Now let’s all count to five……. Fred the moose is back alive

Singing way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, etc.

My Bonnie

Note: Every time a word with the letter “B” is sung, bend your knees and stand up straight alternatively.

My Bonnie lies over the ocean,

My Bonnie lies over the sea.

My Bonnie lies over the ocean,

Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Chorus: Bring back, bring back,

Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.

Bring back, bring back,

Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow,

Last night as I lay on my bed,

I stuck my feet out of the window,

Next morning my neighbors were dead.

Chorus: Bring back, bring back, bring back

My neighbors to me, to me

Bring back, bring back, bring back

My neighbors to me.

My breakfast lies over the ocean,

My luncheon lies over the rail.

My supper lies in great commotion,

Will someone please bring me a pail?

Chorus: Please bring, please bring, please bring

A pail to me, to me.

Please bring, please bring, please bring

A pail to me.

Sarasponda

Sarasponda, Sarasponda, Sarasponda, ret set set.

Sarasponda, Sarasponda, Sarasponda, ret set set.

Ah doray oh, ah doray boom day oh,

Ah doray boom day ret set set

Ah say ah say oh.

Sara’s Honda, Sara’s Honda, Sara’s Honda goes put put,

Sara’s Honda, Sara’s Honda, Sara’s Honda goes put put,

An Oreo, a chocolate Oreo,

I love the creamy filling in a chocolate Oreo.

On My Honor

CHORUS:

On my honor, I will try, there’s a duty to be done and aye 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’ve done any harm, then I’m to blame.

If I’ve helped someone, then I’ve helped me; and 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.

If you need a friend, then I will come, and there’s plenty more where I come from.

CHORUS

Come with me where a fire burns bright, we can even see better than by candlelight.

And we’ll 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 we’ll pray softly falls before we sleep.

We’ll be Girl Scouts together and when we’re gone,

We’ll still be together and singing this song.

CHORUS

On Top of Spaghetti

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese,

I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table and on to the floor

And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden and under a bush

And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tasty as tasty could be

And early next summer, it grew into a tree.

The tree was all covered with beautiful balls.

It grew lovely meatballs and tomato sauce.

So when you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,

Hold onto your meatball and don’t ever sneeze.

AH CHOO!

ROUNDS

Black Socks

Black socks, they never get dirty,

The longer you wear them the blacker they get.

Someday I think I should wash them but something keeps telling me

Don’t do it yet…not yet…not yet…

Music Alone 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.

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.

Whene’er You Make a Promise

Whene’er you make a promise,

Consider well it’s importance.

Then when made,

Engrave it upon your heart.

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.

FOUR SONG ROUND

Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose

Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose,

Will I ever see thee wed?

I will marry at thy will, sire,

At thy will.

Ding dong, ding dong,

Wedding bells on an April morn,

Carve your name on a moss-covered stone,

On a moss-covered stone.

Hey, Ho, Nobody Home

Hey, Ho, nobody home,

Meat nor drink nor money have I none,

Yet will I be merry

Hey, ho.

Chairs to Mend

Mackerel, fresh mackerel,

Chairs to mend, old chairs to mend,

Any old rags? Any old rags?

Ah, Poor Bird

Ah, poor bird,

Take they flight,

High above the sorrows

Of this sad night.

I’ve Got the Girl Scout Spirit

I’ve got the Girl Scout spirit

Up in my head (where?)

Up in my head (where?)

Up in my head.

I’ve got the Girl Scout spirit

Up in my head

Up in my head to stay.

2. Deep in my heart.

3. Down in my feet

4. All over me

Supercalifornia surfer expert of the ocean

CHORUS:

Supercaliforniasurferexpertoftheocean

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious,

If you hit a wave too hard, you’re always in the ocean,

Supercaliforniasurferexpertoftheocean.

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddly iiii

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddly iiii

Because I was afraid to surf when I was just a lad,

But then one day I learned a word that every surfer knows,

The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes:

Tom the Toad (Tune: O Christmas Tree)

Oh, Tom the Toad, oh, Tom the Toad,

Why are you lying in the road?



You did not see the car ahead.

And on your head are tire treads.



Oh, Matt the rat, oh, Matt the rat,

Why did you tease my pussy cat?



You used to be so brown and thin

But now you are inside of him.



Oh, Jake the Snake, oh, Jake the Snake,

Why did you find my garden rake?



You used to be so long and slick

And now you are so short and “ick.”



The Hippopotamus Song

What can make a hippopotamus smile?

What can make him walk for more than a mile?

It’s not a party with paper hats

Or cake and candy that make him fat.

That’s not what hippos do.

CHORUS: Theyyyyy ooze through the goo without any shoes.

They wade underwater ‘til their lips turn blue.

That’s what makes a hippopotamus,

That’s what makes a hippopotamus,

That’s what makes a hippopotamus, SMILE!

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.

CHORUS
