In A Cabin In The Woods

In a cabin in the woords, (outline cabin)
Little man by the window stood, (stand straight)
Saw a rabbit hopping by, (hand to eyes, hand rabbit)
Knocking at my door. (knock at door)
"Help me! Help me! Help," he said, (throw hands into air)
"Or the hunter will shoot me dead," (aim imaginary gun)
Come little rabbit some insice, (open door)
Safely to abide. (pet rabbit’s neck)

In a pad in a forest green
A crazy hermit was surveyin’ the scene
Saw a hare, man, truckin’ by, rappin’ at his door.
Like help, like help, like help cried he
‘Fore the farmer will exterminate me.
Little hare, man don’t you pout
Safely we’ll hang out.

I Like Bananas

I like bananas, coconuts and grapes,
I like bananas, coconuts and grapes,
I like bananas, coconuts and grapes.
And that’s why they call me Tarzan of the Apes.

I'm Happy When I'm Hiking

(Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp)
I'm happy when I'm hiking, pack upon my back.
I'm happy when I'm hiking off the beaten track.
Out in the open country, that's the place for me.
With a true Scout friend to the journey's end.
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty miles a day.
(Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp ...)

I Want A Girl

I want a girl, just like a girl,
That married dear old Dad;
She was a pearl and the only girl,
That Daddy ever had,
She was a good old-fashioned girl with heart so true,
One who loves nobody else but you,
I want a girl, just like the girl,
That married dear old Dad.

I Wish I Were

Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap, (bar of soap)
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap, (bar of soap)
I’d go slippy, slippy, slidey, over everybody’s hinie.
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap, (bar of soap)

Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud. ...
I’d oooy, and I’d gooey, under everybody’s shoey. ...

Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop. ...
I’d go down with a slurp, and I’d come up with a burp. ...

It's a Small World

1. It's a world of laughter, a world of tears;
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears.
There's so much that we share,
that it's time we're aware,
It's a small world after all.

CH: It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small, small world.

2. There is just one moon and one golden sun;
And a simle means friendship to everyone.
Through the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide.
It's a small, small world.

I've Been Working on the Railroad

I've been working on the railroad, all the live long day.
I've been working on the railroad, just to pass the time away;
Can't you head the whistle blowing?
Rise up so early in the morn;
Can't you hear the captain shouting:
Dinah blow your horn

Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow,
Dinah won't you blow your horn! (your horn!)
Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow,
Dinah won't you blow your horn!

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Someone's in the kitchen I know; (I know oh)
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Strummin' on the old banjo.

And singing: Fee, Fi Fiddely-I-Oh!
Fee, Fi Fiddely-I-O-o-o-oh!
Fee, Fi Fiddely-I-Oh!
Strummin' on the old banjo.

I Ain't A Gonna Grieve My Lord No More

1. If you get to heaven,
Before I do,
Just bore a hole,
And pull me through
I ain't a gonna grieve my Lord no more.

CH: I ain't a gonna grieve my Lord no more.
I ain't a gonna grieve my Lord no more.
I ain't a gonna grieve my Lord no more.
I ain't a gonna grieve my Lord no more.
I ain't a gonna grieve my Lord no more.

2. Oh, the deacon went down,
To the cellar to pray,
But he fell asleep,
And he stayed all day.
I ain't a gonna grieve my Lord no more.

In a motor boat,
'Cause a motor boat,
On air won't float.
I ain't a gonna grieve my Lord no more.

In a putt-putt car,
'Cause a putt-putt car,
Won't go that far.

In dirty blue jeans,
'Cause the Lord don't have,
No warahin' machines.

On roller skates,
'Cause you'll roll right past,
Those pearly gates.

Before you do,
I'll plug that hole,
With shavings and glue.

He lost a soul,
He thought he had.

There ain't no more,
St. Peter Himself,
Just closed the door.
I ain't a gonna grieve my Lord no more.

I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing

I'd like to build the world a home,
And furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees,
And snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing,
In perfect harmony,
I'd like to hold it in my arms,
And keep it company.
I'd like to see the world for once,
Walk hand, in hand, in hand,
And hear them echo through the hills,
For peace throughout the land.

It's the real thing,
What the world wants today,
That's the wat it'll stay,
With the real thing.

I'd like to teach the world to sing,
In perfect harmony,
A song of peace that echoes on,
And never goes away.
Put your hand in my hand,
Let's begin today,
With your hand in my hand,
Help me find the way.

I'd like to see the world for once,
Walk hand, in hand, in hand,
And hear them echo through the hills,
For peace throughout the land.
I'd like to teach the world to sing,
In perfect harmony,
A song of peach that echoes on,
And never goes away.

If I Had a Hammer

1. If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning;
I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land;
I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out warning,
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

2. If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning;
I'd ring it in the evening, all over this land;
I'd ring out danger, I'd ring out warning,
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

3. If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning;
I'd sing it in the evening, all over this land;
I'd sing out danger, I'd sing out warning,
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

4. Well, I have a hammer, and I've got a bell (to ring),
And I've got a song (to sing), all over this land;
It's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of freedom,
It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters,

It Ain't Gonna Rain No More

(also see Battle Cty of Freedom)

CH: It ain't gonna rain no more, no more,
It ain't gonna rain no more.
How the heck can I wash my neck,
It ain't gonna rain no more.

1. A skinny lady took a bath,
Without telling a soul,
And when she pulled out the plug,
She went right down the hole.

2. Mary had a little lamb,
She kept it in the closet,
And every time she let it out,
It left a little deposit.

3. I wish I were a fishy,
I'd like to be a bass,
I'd climb right upon them rocks,
And slide down on my ... fins.

4. When Mary had a little lamb,
The doctors were surprised,
But when Old McDonald had a farm,
You should have seen their eyes.

5. Mosquito he fly high,
Mosquito he fly low,
Old man mosquito he lit on me,
He ain't a-gonna fly no more.

6. I went to my girlfriend,
A pleasure I was seeking,
I missed her lips and kissed her nose,
And the gosh darn thing was leaking.

7. She died by the sewer,
By the sewer she did die.
The coroner decided,
That it was sewer-cide.

8. Peanut sitting on a railroad track,
Its heart was all a flutter,
Along came 209
Toot! Toot! Peanut Butter.

9. Mary had a little lamb,
She also had a bear,
Everyone saw her little lamb,
And no one saw her bear.

10. Mary had a little lamb,
She kept it by the heater,
And every time it turned around,
It burned its little seater.
