Aardvark Song
There was a large, dark aardvark in the park
They say he’s missing from the zoo (hey, that’s me, folks!)
The police are searching high and low,
But they cannot find him, can you? Peek-a-boo!

Where did he go, oh,
I’ll tell you the reason,
Cause its aardvark dating season

When an aardvark makes a date
He slips right through that old zoo gate!

So when you see two aardvarks kissing in the park
Don’t upset their apple cart.
Why not?
Do not be a spy, you’re not the FBI
You should never break an aardvarks heart!

Hermie the Worm
Sittin’ on the fencepost
Chewing my bubblegum (smack smack smack smack)

I ate breakfast/lunch/snack/dinner/I burped.

Old Lady Leary
Late last night, when we were all in bed (HEY!)

Fire fire fire!
Bring out the water!
Save my children, save my children!
Run, lady, run!

Percy the Pale-Faced Polar Bear
Way up in the woods in the ice and snow,
Where the temperatures drop to forty below,
Who’s the friendliest bear we know?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear, grrr.

He sleeps all day and then at night,
Catches fish by the pale moonlight,
Has no worries, has no cares,
Percy the pale-faced polar bear, grrr.

Then one day a hunter came,
Took poor Percy by the snout,
Put him in a great big cage,
And he howled and he growled but he couldn’t get out.

Now he’s living in a zoo,
Funny thing, he likes it too,
Cause he meet his girlfriend there,
And she likes Percy the pale-faced polar bear, grrr.
Who? Percy the pale-faced polar bear, grrr.

Bloomin’ breezes runnin’ through ya
With nothing on at all

He spends all his money and he works for more.

Chorus:
Hi, ho the boatmen go, up and down the river in the Ohio.
Hi, ho the boatmen go, up and down the river in the Ohio.
Ever see where a boatman lives?
It’s a house on a hollow and it leaks like a sieve.

Boatman says if he gets one wish
If it doesn’t get better he’ll soon be a fish.
The oyster boat should keep to shore.
The fishing smack should venture more.
The schooner sails before the wind,
The steamboat leaves a streak behind.

Happiness runs, happiness runs.

My Old Man
My old man’s a sailor
Now what do you think about that?
He wears a sailor’s collar,
And he wears a sailor’s hat.
He wears a sailor’s raincoat,

And every Sunday morning
He reads the sailor’s news.
And someday, if I can,
I’m gonna be a sailor,
Just like my old man.

The dew falls away

Girl Scout camp, Girl Scout camp

The counselors that they have there, they say they’re mighty fine
But when they take their make-up off, they look like Frankenstein.

The brownies that they have there, they say they’re mighty fine
But one rolled of the table, and killed a friend of mine.

The lemonade that they have there, they say they’re mighty fine
But when you take a sip of it, it tastes like turpentine.

The toilets that they have there, they say they’re mighty fine
But when you sit upon them, they suck up your behind.

The nurses that they have there, they say they’re mighty fine
But when you break a finger, she’ll break the other nine.

The showers that they have there, they say they’re mighty fine
But when you turn them on, they squirt out yellow slime.

Have you ever seen fishies swimming in and out the bay
With their hands in their pockets and their pockets in their pants
Have you ever seen a fishy do the hoochie-coochie dance.

Well I have been swimming on a bright and sunny day
And I have seen fishies swimming in and out the bay
With their hands in their pockets and their pockets in their pants
But I’ve never seen a fishy do the hoochie-coochie dance.

Little mean amoeba boy
Little mean amoeba baby
Little amoeba girl

Well I never knew that true love could be true
And I never knew that till I fell in love with you
And when I saw you
It filled me through and through
And I got a spasm in my protoplasm

I saw you there with those algae in your hair
I knew right away
You were meant to love and share.
I swam up to you and in a voice so fair
Said ¡hey there, aloha,
Won’t you be my protozoa?

You said you would so we swam swam away
I swam with my arm around your pswudopod-I-a
You said, I’ll never go away
In all kinds of weather
We’ll stimulate together

Then one foggy night
You gave me such a fright
You lost your mind you started turning blue
Told me you were feeling sick
Then my god you began to split
Now there’s not one of you but two
Dang ditty ditty glop glop

I’ve got a problem, I don’t know what to do
I’ve got two lovers and both of them are you
How can I love one and still be true to two
The nucleus shatters
When your amoeba baby scatters
whaooooo

And the boy said, kiss me or get out and swim
So whatcha gonna do in a little canoe
With the moon shining all around
Boy swimming all around
Girl paddling all around, oh yeah.

When old McDonalds had a farm"

Oyster Stew

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, alone

And maybe I’ll go to the Junior Prom,
Alone tee-hee alone
And maybe I’ll sit by the chaperone
Alone, tee-hee, alone

And maybe somebody will wink at me and I will wink at them, tee-hee
And then you know that I wont be
Alone, tee-hee, alone

Oh-la, oh-la, eh!
Roll, roll, roll to the beat, now
I don’t know
Just what it is
Those girls are funky
Always acting like monkeys!

Birds in the Wilderness
(song to be sung when sitting at a table waiting to eat)
Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,
Birds in the wilderness, birds in the wilderness,
Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,
Waiting for our food. (variation of last line: Ready to eat our food).

(Actions: (with each beat of the song) fists, thumbs, pointer and middle fingers, pointer and pinky fingers (all actions are done against the edge of a table))

All Together Again
(to be sung at a table)
One finger, one thumb, keep moving
One finger, one thumb, keep moving
One finger, one thumb, keep moving
And we’re all together again (hit table twice)

We’re all together again (hit table twice).
Continue with: one hand, two hands, one foot, two feet, stand up sit down, stand up, turn around.)

HORSE songs

Horsey, horsey, on your way
We've been together for many a day
So let your tail go swish
And your tail go round
Giddy-up! We're homeward bound.

I like to ride my horse and buggy
I like to ride all over town
I like to hear the hooves go "clip-clop"
I like to see the wheels go 'round

Dusamoja

Ho, young rider, apple-cheeked one,
Whither riding?

On his steed so black and prancing
Whither riding?
What matters where I ride?
Slovak mountains are my pride,
Dusamoja, dusamoja.

Second verse: all the same except change lines 5 and 6 to: What matters where I roam?/Slovak mountains are my home.

Say Why
Say why, do we have to say goodbye
Say why, do we have to say goodbye
Say why, do we have to say goodbye
Say why, my friend, say why

Say when, will we ever meet again
Say when, will we ever meet again
Say when, will we ever meet again
Say when, my friend, say when

Say where, and I'll meet you right there
Say where, and I'll meet you right there
Say where, and I'll meet you right there
Say where, my friend, say where

Say why, do we have to say goodbye
Say when, will we ever meet again
Say where, and I'll meet you right there
Say why, say when, say where!

Flicker
The flicker of a campfire, the wind in the pines
The moon in the heavens, the stars that shine
A place where people gather to make friends of all kinds
A place where all our troubles are always left behind

So give me the light of a campfire, 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 found mine right here
Just you and me and the campfire and songs we love to hear.

Green Trees
Green trees around us, blue skies above
Friends all around us, in a world filled with love
Taps sounding softly, hearts beating true
As Girl Scouts say, goodnight to you.

Taps
Day is done,
Gone the sun
From the lakes,
from the hills,
From the sky
All is well
Safely rest
God is nigh.

Magic
When I was young I thought the stars were made for wishing on
And every hole deep in a tree might hide a leprechaun
Old houses all had secret rooms, if one could find the key
I do believe in magic, I believe.

Chorus:
Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain
And 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.

Growing up the grown-ups said someday I'd wake to find
That magic's just a childhood dream 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 anymore.

When I grew up I learned again, that much to my surprise
Magic did not fade away, it took a new disguise
A child, a friend, a smile, a song, the courage to stand tall
I do believe in magic, after all.

Last Chorus:
Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain
And 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, yes I do believe in magic,
Love is the greatest magic, after all.

On the Loose
Did you ever watch the sunrise turn the sky completely red,
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pine bough for your bed
Did you sit and talk with friends, through a word was never said
Then you're just like me and you've been 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've only got a moment and a whole world yet to see.
I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose.

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,
For in following in my dreams, I will live and I will grow,
On a trail that's waiting out there on the loose.

So in search of love and laughter, I'll be traveling cross this land
Never sure of where I'm going, for I haven't got any plan,
So in time when you are ready, come and join me and take my hand,
And together we'll share life out there on the loose. On My Honor
Chorus:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done, and I say "aye",
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 hurt someone, then I'm to blame
If I help someone, then I've helped me
And that's the way that it ought to be

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
‘Cuz there's plenty more where I come from

Come with me where a fire burns bright
You can see much better by its own light
You can find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever find in a year or so.

Friendship is the strangest thing
If you keep it to yourself no reward will it bring
But you gave it away, and you gave it to me
And from now on great friends we'll be

We've got a promise to always keep
We will sing "Day is Done" before we sleep
We are Girl Scouts together, and when we're gone
We'll still be a-trying and a-singing this song...

(repeat first verse)

Moon On The Meadow
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears
Up on the meadow, water somewhere
We were the only ones there

Wild horse and slushy, dry lake and creeks
Finding the love there everyone seeks
Hiking through rainbows, sunsets and stars
Just finding out who we are

We will return here, one lucky day
Our hearts will guide us, they know the way
People in cities can’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.

Linger
Hmmm, I want to linger
Hmmm, a little longer
Hmmm, a little longer here with you.

Hmmm, it's such a perfect night
Hmmm, it doesn't seem quite right
Hmmm, that this should be my last with you.

Hmmm, and come September
Hmmm, I will remember
Hmmm, our camping days and friendships true.

Hmmm, and as the years go by
Hmmm, I'll think of you and sigh
Hmmm, this is good-night and not good-bye.

Barges
Out of my window, looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light
Silently flows the river to the 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 of my window, looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red
I can see them flickering far ahead

How my heart longs to sail away with you
As you sail across the ocean blue
But I must sit beside my window dear
And watch you sail away from here

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light
Harbour ahead and anchorage in view
I will find my resting place with you

Away from my window on into the night
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Taking their cargo far across the sea
How I'd wish that someday they would take me

Out of my window looking through the night
I can see the barges flickering light
People are sailing far and far away
And I hope to go with them one day.

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 my name in a moss covered stone
In a moss covered stone

Hey ho, nobody home
No meat nor drink nor money have I none
Still I will be married
Hey ho, hey ho

Oh, poor bird
Take thy flight
High above the sorrows
Of this sad night.

The wind in the willows
Sings like a solitary soul alone
The wind in the willows
Sings like a solitary soul alone.

Who Can Sail
Who can sail where there is no wind?
Who without oars can go rowing?
Who can sail far away from friends,
Without tears a-flowing?

I can sail where there is no wind,
I without oars can go rowing,
But I can’t sail far away from friends,
Without tears a-flowing.

Darlin’ Won’t You Wait
Darlin’ won’t you wait, won’t you wait, won’t you wait
Darlin’ won’t you wait for me
Darlin’ won’t you wait, won’t you wait, won’t you wait
Darlin’ won’t you wait for me.

Should another love come along, come along
Simply tell her your not free
Send her on her way, on her way, on her way
Darlin’ won’t you wait for me.

Ooooh my love
Some of us I know are bound to die
Hold me close
Kiss me once again before we say goodbye.

Today
Chorus:
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows have all passed away
And ‘ere I forget all the joys that are mine,
Today.

And I’ll be your dandy and I’ll be your rover
You’ll know who I am by the songs that I sing
I'll feast at your table and sleep in your clover
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.

I can't be contented with yesterday's glories
I can't live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment and now is my story
Who cares what tomorrow will bring.

Song of the Soul
Open mine eyes that I may see
Glimpses of truth thou hast for me
Open mine eyes, illuminate me
Spirit divine.
Love of my life I am crying
I am not dying, I am dancing
Dancing along in the madness
There is no sadness
Only a song of the soul..

Chorus:
And we can sing this song
Why don’t you sing along
And we can sing for a long, long time
Why don’t you sing this song
Why don’t you sing along
And we can sing for a long, long time.

What do you do for a living,
Are you forgiving, giving shelter?
Follow your hearts love will find you
Truth will unbind you
Sing out a song of the soul…

(Chorus)

Go to your life like a warrior
Nothin’ will harm ya
You can be happy
Let in the light it will heal you
And you can feel you
Sing out a song of the soul…
And we can sing this song
Why don’t you sing along
And we can sing for a long, long time
Why don’t you sing this song
Why don’t you sing along
And we can sing for a long, long time
And we can sing for a long, long time.

Gypsy Love
Chorus:
Gypsy love comes wandering
down the pathways, through the trees

Like the silent call of the sea, it whispers in every breeze
but gypsy love is a story, and we all know the end
so we'll sing while we may, with each dying day
and gypsy love will find us again and again

At the time of day when the sun slips 'tween the isles
Oh our spirits, how they soften, so weary from the miles
so we'll take our rest in the arms of friends
in the fire and candlelight
and before we all know, the stars have arrived
and pecked the sky, sweet kisses goodnight
(Chorus)

Summer lingers on in the autumn sun,
and it plays it's teasing game
and the four winds that brought us so hastily here
will scatter us all the same
so we'll sing until we are parted, it's by far the easiest way

For we all know words are best left as echos across the bay
(Chorus)

Yesterday a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

Chorus:
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on a carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round in the circle game

Then the child turned ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like 'when you're older' must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turned to car-wheels through the town
And they tell him, "Take your time, it won't be long now

'Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down."

Years spin by and now the child is twenty
Dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams, and plenty
Before that last revolving year is through.

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry

Chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jetplane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go I'll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time just let me kiss you
Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say

Footprints
People come and people go
Moving fast or moving slow
What of my life, I do not know
Moving shadows on the snow

Chorus: Ooh, ooh, oooh oooh ooooh oooh ooh.

People come and people go
It happens every day I know
Goodbye is just a simple word
I wish that I had never heard

Time can’t stop for you and me
Try and face reality
People change as time drifts by
Move ahead or get left behind

People come and people go
Some leave footprints on the snow
But in the end, you may find
Some leave footprints on your mind.

Sparky’s Song
Oh the time has passed so quickly and it seems like yesterday
Traveled far away from home to where I am today
Thought that I was destined to be lost and all alone
'Til I came among these people who made me feel at home.

Chorus:
And I, want to tell you just how much I love you
Tell you all the things that you should know like,
Thank you for just being here and giving of your time
Giving me the space I need to grow.

Well I felt at once a kinship, with my friends here by my side
Felt I was accepted and I had no need to hide
Knew that I could handle what the world would send my way
Though some times were more than hard I'd never change a day.

Well our story isn't over though we have to turn the page
Take up where our paths left off and go our separate ways
But a lifetime's worth of memories have been found in these few days
If we never meet again I know I'll have to say…

Long Time Sun
May the long time sun shine upon you
Our love surround you
And the pure light withen you
Guide you all the way home
May your days be filled with gladness
Your heart serentiy
And the moonlight above you
Guide you all the way on

Canadian Wilderness
The life of a voyager, that of a sojourner
Traveling around and round
But not from town to town
Paddles the lakes and streams
Follows her distant dreams
Peace on the waterway
Blue skies or cloudy days

Chorus:

My heart has just one home

From which I’ll never roam
Land of true happiness
Canadian wilderness

The call of a lonely loon
Coyotes howling at the moon
Wind rustlin’ through the trees
That’s a Canadian breeze
Smoke rising from the fire
Up to the trees in a stately spire
Reach to the sky in the evening glow
Sun goes down, the north wind blows

The mist rising from the falls
Distant hooting of the owls
Fire crackling through the night
Rising fog at dawn’s first light
Fall when leaves come tumbling down
Winter’s blanket covers the ground
Zephyr’s whistling through the pines
Voyager’s heritage that is mine

The life of a voyager that of a sojourner
Clear as the northern streams
Key to her distant dreams
One day she’ll find it there
Place where she’ll lose all care
Loon’s cry moves through the trees
She’ll find her liberty

Blowin' in the Wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes and how many times must cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?

Chorus:
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the seas (sea)
Yes and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes and how many times can a man turn his head
Pretend that he just doesn't see?

Yes and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes and how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

Dreams
Chorus: May all of your dreams
Bloom like daisies in the sun
May you always have stars in your eyes
May you not stop running,
Not until your race is won
And may you always have blue skies

A dream is something you can make
To keep within your heart
To build on when you’re sad
Or when you’re world’s been torn apart
A dream is something all your own
That no one else can steal
A dream is something
You can make come real

You can share a laugh
With any stranger you may meet
You can share your money
With a beggar on the street
But you can only share a dream
When love has set if free
Please won’t you share yours with me?

Now you can climb a mountain
You can swim the deepest sea
Try to find a world
Where everyone is true and free
This dream holds the future

My true friends, a priceless deal
I hold my dreams for you to feel

Give Yourself to Love
Kind friends gather round
There’s something I would say
What brings us together here
Has blessed us all today
Love has made a circle
That holds us all inside
Where strangers are as family
Loneliness can’t hide

Chorus: You must give yourself to love
If love is what you’re after
Open up your heart
To the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love
Give yourself to love

I’ve walked these mountains in the rain
I’ve learned to love the wind
I’ve been up before the sunrise
Just to watch the day begin
And I always knew I’d find you
Though I never did know how
Like sunshine on a cloudy day
You stand before me now

You love is born in fire

And it’s planted like a seed
Love can’t give you everything
But it gives you what you need
Love comes when you’re ready
Love comes when you’re afraid
It’ll be your greatest teacher
The best friend you’ve ever made

Meg’s Lullaby
Sing your lullaby to the world
It’s a happy song you know
For the children need their sleep
To grow

Softly as the people sleep
The moon moves through the sky
As she sings to us all
Her lullaby

Red Balloon
Give me a red balloon on a long black string
I can whistle and I can sing
With my red balloon on a long black string
Oh I am richer than any kind

Chorus:

Laughs are many
And tears are few
Life’s exciting and always new
In a world of girls and boys
In a world of simple joys

Give me a paper kite on a windy day
Oh I think I’ll fly away
With my paper kite on a windy day
Oh yes I’ll fly away

Give me a warm spring day
And an apple tree
There is nothing that I can’t see
When I look out from my apple tree
Look up there and you’ll see me

Give me a jar of bubbles

And a real good friend
Oh I wish this day won’t end
With my jar of bubbles and a real good friend
Oh I wish this day won’t end

(3-part round)

The hills and their glorious height
surround us by day and by night.
Sing praise to the hills.

Rise up O' flame
by thy lights glowing
show to us beauty
wisdom and joy.

The River
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...and

Chorus:
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied

Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the ! tide...yes


There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...yes

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

Back of the Bread
In back of the bread in the flour
In back of the flour is the mill
In back of the mill is the wind and the rain
And the Father’s will.
