Chester!

Chester did you ‘ear about Harry?
(strike chest, touch ears, pat head)
He chest got back from the army.
(strike chest and back, fold arms)
I ‘ear he knows how to wear a rose,
(touch ear, nose, lapel)
Hip, Hip, Hooray - for the army!
(slap hip, slap other hip, raise arms, fold arms)

Clementine

1. In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner, Forty-niner,

CHORUS: Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

2. Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine.
Cardboard boxed without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

3. Drove she ducklings, to the water,
Every morning just at nine;
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

4. Saw her lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, mighty fine;
But alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

5. In a churchyard, near the canyon,
Where the myrtle doth entwine,
There grow roses and other posies,
Fertilized by Clementine.

6. Then the miner, forty-niner,
Soon began to peak and pine,
Thought he oughter join his daughter,
Now he’s with his Clementine.

7. In my dreams, she still doth haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked with brine;
Though in life I used to hug her,
Now she’s dead, I draw the line.

8. How I missed her, how I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
‘Till I kissed her little sister,
And forgot my Clementine.

9. Listen Boy Scouts, heed the warning,
To this tragic tale on mine;
Artificial Respiration,
Could have saved my Clementine.

Consider Yourself

Consider yourself at home,
Consider yourself one of the family,
We've taken to you so strong,
It's clear we're going to get along.

Consider yourself well in,
Consider yourself part of the furniture,
There isn't a lot to spare,
Who cares? Whatever we've got we share.

If there's a chance that we should neet some har-a-days,
Empty lotte-days, why grouse?
If there's a chance to meet somebody to foot the bill,
Then the drinks are on the house.

Consider yourself our mate,
We don't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state:
"Consider yourself one of us."

Consider yourself at home,
Consider yourself one of the family,
We'be taken to you so strong,
It's clear we're going to get along.

Consider yourself will in,
Consider yourself part of the furniture,
Thereisn't a lot to spare,
Who cares? Whatever we've got we share.

If there's a chance to be la-te-da or up-ity,
There's a cup of tea, for all,
It's nice to be handy with a rolling pin,
When the landlord comes to call!

Consider yourself our mate,
We don't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state:
"Consider yourself one of us."

Cookie, Cookie

Cookie, Cookie,
Listen while we sing to you.
Cookie, Cookie,
You're a part of camp life too.
Anyone can make a bed and anyone can sweep,
But i takes our cookie to make the food we eat.
So Cookie, Cookie,
Listen while we sing to you.

Country Roads

1. Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees, Younger than the mountains, blowin' like a breese

CH: Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, Country Roads.

2. All my mem'ries, gather round her, miner's lady, Stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, tear drop in my eye.

3. I hear her voice in the mornin' hours she calls me. The radio reminds me of my home far away.
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday, Yestersay.

Camptown Races

1. The Camptown ladies sing ths song:
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
Camptown racetrack's five miles long.
Oh! Doo-dah day!
I came down there with my hat caved in.
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
I went back home with a pocket full of tin.
Oh! Doo-dah day!

CH: Going to run all night!
Going to run all day!
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag -
Somebody bet on the bay.

2. The long-tail filly and the big black horse ...
They fly the track and they both cut across ...
The blind horse wallowed in a big mud hole ...
Can't touch bottom with a ten foot pole. ...

3. Old muley cow came onto the track ...
The bobtail flung her over his back ...
They flew along like a railroad car ...
Running a race with a shooting star ...

4. See them flying on a ten-mile heat ...
'Round the racetrac, then repeat ...
I won my money on the gbobtail nag ...
I keep my money in an old tow bag ...

Car, Car

CH: Take me for a ride in my car, car.
Take me for a ride in my car, car.
Take me for a ride in my car, car.
Ridin' in my car.

1. Horn goes beep, beep.
Horn goes beep, beep.
Horn goes beep, beep.
Ridin' in my car.

2. Engine goes vroom, vroom. ...

3. Breaks go squeek, squeek. ...

4. Bumper goes crunch, crunch. ...

5. Windshield wippers go back and forth. ...

6. Passengers go Aaaahhh! Aaaahhh! ...

Crawdad Song

CH: You get a line, I'll get a pole, Honey, Honey,
You get a line, I'll get a pole, Babe, Babe.
You get a line, I'll get a pole,
We'll all go fishin' at the crawdad hole
Honey, sugar baby, mine.
(not all versus are required)

1. Watch ya gonna do when the cread runs dry, Honey, Honey,
Sit on the bank and watch crawdads die

2. Here comes a man with a snack on his back, Honey, Honey,
Look at all the crawdads he can pack

3. I'm sellin' crawdads 3 for a dime, Honey, Honey,
I'll bet yours aren't as good as mine

4. Get up old man, you slept too late, Honey, Honey,
I done ate the last crawdad on your plate

5. Crawdad, crawdad, a-feeling fine, Honey, Honey,
Two for a nickel and three for a dime

6. I'm going down to the crawdad boat, Honey, Honey,
Catch all the crawdads I can tote

7. Little duck said to a drake, Honey, Honey,
There ain't no crawdads in this lake

8. Man fall down and bust his sack, Honey, Honey,
See them crawdads backin' back

9. Stood on a hill 'til my feet got cold, Honey, Honey,
Looking down in a crawdad's hole

10. Old crawdad you better dig deep, Honey, Honey,
'Cause I'm gonna ramble in my sleep

11. Sitting on the bank, feet got hot, Honey, Honey,
Watching that crawdad rack ant trot

12. Put your hand on your hip, let your mind roll by, Honey, Honey,
'Cause your body gotta swivel when you come to die

13. Sitting on the ice, feet got cold, Honey, Honey,
Watching that crawdad dig his hole

14. get up old man, you slept too late, Honey, Honey,
Ther crawdad done passed your gate

The Cat Came Back

Old man Johnson had troubles of his own.
Had a little cat that wouldn't leave him alone.
He tried and tried to give him away,
He gave him to a man going far, far away.

CHORUS:
But the cat came back, the very next day.
But the cat came back, they thought he was a goner,
But the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away, away, away.

He gave it to a man going up in a ballon
Told him to give it to the man in the moon
The ballon came down about 20 miles away
And where that man is we just can't say.
      (chorus)
He gave him to a boy with a dollar note,
Told him to take up the river in a boat,
Tied a rock round its neck must have weighed a hundred pounds,
And now they're dredging the river for the little boy who drowned.
      (chorus)
He gave hime to a man going way, way out west,
Told him to give it to the one he favored best,
First the train jumped track, then it hit the rail,
And no one is alive today to tell the gruesome tale.
      (chorus)
Old man Johnson said he'd shoot that cat on sight,
So he loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite.
He waited and waited for that cat to come around,
But ninety seven pieces of the man were all they ever found
      (chorus)
The H-bomb fell just the other day,
The A-bomb fell in the very same way,
Russia went, China went, and the USA
The human race was destroyed without a chance to pray.

Cub Vespers

Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away
Silently each Cub should ask,

Have I done my daily task?
And before I go to rest,
Can I say I've done my best
Have I tried in every way
To keep the Wolf Cub Law today?

Have I kept my Cub Laws too
Taught to me by ol' Baloo
Always tried to do my best
God grant me a quiet rest
