Make announcements short and sweet
Short and sweet, short and sweet.
Make announcements short and sweet
Short and sweet, short and sweet.
For they are boring.

To the ground, to get out of the rain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!

On a summer’s day in the month of May,
A Tenderfoot Scout came hiking,
Down a shady lane in the sugar cane;
He was looking for his liking.
As he strolled along he sang a song
Of a land of milk and honey,
Where a Scout can stay for many a day,
And he don’t need any money.

Chorus:

O the buzzin’ of the bees
And the chocolate trees,
And the root beer fountain,
Where lemonade springs,
And the bluebird signs,

On the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
On the Big Rock Candy Mountain
All the frogs have wooden legs,
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth,
The hens lay soft boiled eggs,
The farmer’s trees are full of fruit,
The barn’s full of hay,
So I manna go where there ain’t no snow,
Where the sleet don’t fall
And the wind don’t blow,
On the Big Rock Candy Mountain.

CHORUS

There’s a beach of sun,
Where we can have fun,
And the ice cream grows on bushes;
In the new mown hay,
We can sleep all day,
And the malls all have free lunches.
Where the rock and roll pops,
And the music never stops,
And the folks are tender hearted,
Where you never change your socks,
And you never throw rocks,
And you hair is never parted.

CHORUS

Oh, a farmer and his son,
They were on the run,
To the hay field they were bounding,
Said the Scout to the son,
"Why don’t you come
To that Big Rock Candy Mountain?"
So the very next day they hiked away,
The mile posts they kept counting,
But they never arrived at the lemonade tide
On the Big Rock Candy Mountain

CHORUS

MY BONNIE (variations)

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.
Bring back, Bring back, Bring back
My neighbors to me, to me.
Bring back, Bring back, Bring back
My neighbors to me, to me.
My bonnie leaned over the gas tank
The height of its contents to see.
I lighted a match to assist her,
Oh, bring back my bonnie to me.
Bring back, Bring back, Bring back
My Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, Bring back, Bring back
My Bonnie to me, 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?
Please bring, please bring, please
bring a pail to me, to me.
Please bring, please bring, please
bring a pail to me, to me.
Who knows what I had for breakfast?
Who knows what I had for tea?
Who knows what I had for supper?
Just look out the window and see.
Clams, clams, clams, clams,
Clams and ice cream don’t agree with me.
Clams, clams, clams, clams,
Clams and ice cream don’t agree with me.

CANNIBAL KING

The cannibal king with a big nose ring,
Fell in love with a fair young dame—
And ev’vy night by the pale moonlight,
Across the lake he came.
Oh, a hug and kiss for a Zulu miss,
In the shade of the old palm tree----
And it sounded like this to me.

Chorus:

Barrumph (kiss, kiss)
Barrumph (kiss, kiss)
Barrumph ti di a di aye -----
Barrumph (kiss, kiss)

The Cannibal King went out on a fling
Out with his fair young dame—
And so that night by the pale moonlight,
Across the lake he came.

And so that night by the pale moonlight,
They pitched a little woo.

COMMERCIAL MIXUP

(tune: Farmer In the Dell)

Last night I watched TV.
I saw my favorite show.
I heard a strange commercial.
I can’t believe it’s so.
Feed your dog Chiffon.
Comet cures a cold.
Use S.O.S. pads on your face
To keep from looking old.
For headaches take some Certs.
Use Tide to clean your face
And do shampoo with Elmer’s glue,
It holds your hair in place.
Perhaps I and confused.
I might not have it right.
But one thing I am certain of,
I’ll watch TV tonight.

Do a dude a favor

If he steps in one he surely
Would die ----

DING-A-LING

My grandmother gave me a brand-new toy.
Silver Bells on a string,
She told me it was
My ding-a-ling-a-ling.

Won’t you play with my ding-a-ling.

I stopped in at the vestibule.
Every time the bell would ring,
They caught me playing with
My ding-a-ling-a-ling.

CHORUS

Went to cross turtle creek,
Snapper snappin’ at my feet.
Sure was hard to cross that thing,
With both hands on
My ding-a-ling-a-ling.

I climbed upon the garden wall,
Slipped and had an awful fall.
I fell so hard, I heard bells ring,
But I held on to
My ding-a-ling-a-ling.

Best little song you ever did have.
For those of you who will not sing,
You must be playing with

DO YOUR EARS HANG LOW?

(tune: Turkey in the Straw)

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when their wet?
Do they stiffen when they dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbor
With a minimum of labor?
Do your ears hang high?

GHOST CHICKENS IN THE SKY

(tune: Ghost Riders in the sky)

A chicken farmer went out
One dark and dreary day.
He rested by the coop,
As he went along his way.
When all at once a rotten egg
Hit him in the eye.
It was the sight he dreaded...
Ghost chickens in the sky.
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Ghost chickens in the sky
The farmer has raised chickens
Since he was twenty-four.
Working for the Colonel
For thirty years or more.
Killing all those chickens
And sending them to fry.
Now they want revenge...
Ghost chickens in the sky.
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Ghost chickens in the sky
Their feet were black and shiny,
Their eyes were burning red.
They had no meat or feathers,
These chickens all were dead.
They picked the farmer up
And he died by the CLAW.
They cooked him EXTRA CRISPY,
And ate him with cole slaw.
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Bok, bok, bok, bok.

GHOST STAFFERS IN THE SKY

The S - P - L went hiking out
One dark and windy day,
Upon his staff he rested
As he went along his way,
When all at once a motley crew
Of red-eyed staff he saw,
A plowin’ through the ragged skies
And up a dusty draw.
Yip-i-ya-a, yip-i-ya-o,
Ghost Staffers in the sky.
Their feet were still on fire
And their hearts were made of steel
Their boots were black and grungy
And their hot breath he could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him
As they stumbled down the trail.
For as he saw the staffers fallin hard
He could hear their mournful wail.
Yip-i-ya-a, yip-i-ya-o,
Ghost Staffers in the sky.
Their faces were gaunt,
Their eyes were red,
Their shirts all soaked with sweat,
They’re workin hard to catch the point,
But they ain’t caught it yet.
They’ve got to work forevermore
On that course up in the sky.
Driven by a heartless man,
On listen to them cry.
Yip-i-ya-a, yip-i-ya-o,
Ghost Staffers in the sky.
And as their leader went on by,
He heard him call his name,
If you want to save your soul
From hell a hikin with this pain
Then S-P-L you’d better change your ways
Or with us you will hike
Trying to catch the devil’s staff
Along this endless pike.
Yip-i-ya-a, yip-i-ya-o,
Ghost Staffers in the sky.

GROUND ROUND

(tune: Downtown)

When you eat meat but hate the meat you’re eating
Then you’ve surely got GROUND ROUND.
It’s so unnerving when they’re constantly serving
It in eating spots—GROUND ROUND.
It may be called Salisbury, cube steak, or beef patty,
No matter what it’s called,
It’s always overcooked and fatty.
What can you do?
Sound off to your waiter there,
Loudly pound on the table,
Stand up on your chair,
And shout, GROUND ROUND.
Always they’re conning me, GROUND ROUND.
Piled on my plate, I see GROUND ROUND.

OH! HOW I HATE TO GET UP IN THE MORNING

Chorus:

Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning,
Oh, how I’d love to remain in bed ---

For the hardest blow of all,
Is to hear the bugler call;
You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up,
You’ve go to get up this morning.

Someday I’m going to murder the bugler,
Someday they’re going to find him dead ---
I’ll amputate his reveille,
And step upon it heavily,
And spend the rest of my life in bed.

He jumped from 40,000 feet and didn’t pull the cord.

They took him home to Mama on that piece of moldy bread.
She hung him on the mantle for all the world to see.

He slipped off the mantle and he landed in the fire.
He went up the chimney in a puff of dirty smoke.

He drifted up to Heaven and he landed on a cloud.
Now he’s happy up in Heaven and he’s living on a cloud.

THE KEEPER

The keeper did a hunting go,
And under his cloak, he carried a bow.
All to shoot a merry little doe
Among the leaves so green-o.

Chorus:

Derry, derry down among the leaves so green-o
The first doe he shot at, he missed.
The second doe he trimmed, he kissed.
The third doe went where nobody missed.
Among the leaves so green-o.

CHORUS

The fourth doe she got caught by a tree,
Because of this she could not flee.
So he slew her quite leisurely,
Among the leaves so green-o.

CHORUS

The fifth doe she did cross the brook.
The keeper brought her back with his crook.
Where she is now, you must look,
Among the leaves so green-o.

KING OF THE CAMP

(tune: King of the Road)

Flies, bugs, and bumblebees,
Chigger bites on my knees;

Band-aides from head to toes,
Gotta sunburn on my nose;

I’ve got sand in the food I eat,
I’ve got blisters on both my feet;

I’m in pain but I can’t complain,
I’M KING OF THE CAMP!

The parents bring their kids to stay
Here until Labor Day!

When they become a drag,
I give them a plastic bag;

I’ve got cuts, bruises, and some bumps,
Chicken pox, and the mumps;

I’ve got ulcers just because,
I’M KING OF THE CAMP!

I know all the moms and dads
And all their brats;

All of their doggies
and all of their cats;

If the same kids are as great
As the parents all say,
Then how come every summer
They send them away?

Meanwhile, back at the pool,
Water is nice and cool;

Kids splashing all around
While I teach ‘em how to drown.

I lose more brats that way,
I lose some in the woods each day;

I’m a bitter babysitter,
I’M KING OF THE CAMP!

CAMP KOOKAMONGA

In 19 and 89 We took a little hike
With our Scoutmaster
Down to Lake A-Nik-A-Nike.
We took a little Pizza
And some sour kraut
And we marched along together
‘Til we heard the Girl Scouts.
We’re the boys from Camp Kookamonga
Our mothers’ sent us here
For to study nature’s ways.
We learned to make sparks
By rubbin’ sticks together
But, if we catch the Girl Scouts,
We’ll set the woods a blaze.
Well, we crept up to the water
And we see’d The girls a swimmin’
There must of been a hundred
Of them pretty young wimmin.
They looked so fine
Even birds forgot to sing.
We laid down in the poison oak
And didn’t say a thing.
We’re the boys from Camp Kookamonga
Our mothers’ sent us here
For to study nature’s ways.
We learned to make sparks
By rubbin’ sticks together
But, if we catch the Girl Scouts,
We’ll set the woods a blaze.
Well, our counselor said
We could take ‘em by surprise.
If we didn’t say a word
‘Til we looked them in the eyes.
We kept real still
And we had our eyes a glued;
We saw how they were dressed,
They were swimmin’ in the—

WELL NOW.

Well, they ran through the briars
And they ran through the brambles,
And they ran through the bushes
Where a rabbit couldn’t go.
They ran so fast
Even we couldn’t catch ‘em
From Lake A-Nik-A-Nike
All the way to Buffalo.
We ran right after them
‘Till everyone was pooped.
So we rested for a minute
And our forces we regrouped.
And then we saw the girls
Behind some evergreens,
Captured by a company
Of United States Marines.
We’re the boys from Camp Kookamonga
Our mothers’ sent us here
For to study nature’s ways.
We learned to make sparks
By rubbin’ sticks together
But, if we catch the Girl Scouts,
We’ll set the woods a blaze.
Well, they ran through The briars
And they ran through The brambles,
And they ran through the bushes
Where a rabbit couldn’t go.

All the way to Buffalo.

My knapsack on my back.

Chorus:

Valderi, Valdera, Valderi

Valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, Valderi,

Valdera, my knapsack on my back.

I love to wander by the stream,

That dances in the sun,

So joyously it calls to me

Come! Join my happy song!

CHORUS

I wave my hat to all I meet

And they wave back to me,

And blackbirds call so loud & sweet

From every greenwood tree.

CHORUS

High overhead the skylarks wing,

They never rest at home,

But just like me they love to sing,

As o’er the world we roam.

CHORUS

Oh, may I go a-wandering,

Until the day I die!

Oh, may I always laugh and sing,

Beneath God’s clear blue sky!

MOM, WASH MY UNDERWEAR

(tune: God Bless America)

Mom, wash my underwear, my only pair.

We can find them and move them,

From the heap by the side of the chair.

To the washer, to the clothesline,

To my backpack, to my rear.

Mom, wash my underwear, my only pair.

Mom, wash my underwear, my only pair.
