Day is done, Gone the sun,
From the lake, From the hills,
From the sky;
All is well, Safely rest,
God is nigh.

Fading light, Dims the sight;
And a star, Gems the sky,
Gleaming bright;
From afar, Drawing nigh,
Falls the night.

Fades the light, Falls the night,
O'er the vale, O'er the hill,
O'er the sky;
From afar, Shines a star;
Falls the night.

Dear one, rest! In the West,
Sable night, Lulls the day;
On her breats.
Sweet, goodnight! Ah, so soon!
Peaceful dreams.

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.

Thanks and praise, for our day,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars,
'Neath the sky.
As we go, this we know,
God is nigh.

Starry bright, Be you flight,
To the goal, Of the soul,
Shining white;
God is near, Have no fear,
In His light.

Sleep and dream, Every beam,
God keep watch o'er all
Thru the night
We shall meet with the morn',
So good night.

Teddy Bear

Oh Teddy Bear, oh Teddy Bear,
What do you do all day?
I just sit here in my little chair
And wait for ________ to play.

There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly,
Well, I don’t know why, she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wiggled and jiggled and giggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don’t know why, she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a bird.
Now ain’t that absurd? She swallowed a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider

I don’t know why, she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a cat
Just think of that, she swallowed a cat.
She swallowed a cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and giggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don’t know why, she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

I know an old aldy who swallowed a dog
Boy what a hog! She swallowed a dog.
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat ...

I know an old lady who swallowed a goat
Right down her throat she swallowed a goat.
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog ...

I know an old lady who swallowed a horse,

They Say at Good Old Pico

CH: Oh I don’t want no more of Boy Scout Camp;
Hey Mom, I want to go, but they won’t let me go;
Hey Mom, I want to go home!

They say at good old Pico:

1. The staff is mighty fine.
They rule like Adolf Hitler,
And look like Frankenstein.

2. The biskets are mighty fine.
One rolled off the table,
And killed a friend of mine.

3. The chicken is mighty fine.
One jumped off the table,
And started marking time.

4. The coffee is mighty fine.
It looks like muddy water,
And tastes like turpentine.

5. The campers are are mighty fine.
They all have runny noses,
And never are on time.

6. The Scoutmasters are mighty fine.
Their bellies are getting bigger,
And so are their behinds.

They're either under seven,
Or over ninety nine.

8. The aquatics staff is mighty fine,
They all went down at seven,
And won't be up 'til nine.

It's full of grogs and fishes,
And freezing all the time.

You eat it up at seven,
And barf it up at nine.

The springs, they pop out,
and wiggle up your spine.

But how the heck should I know,
I never do see mine.

My friend, he got a splinter,
His funeral is at nine.

I share them with the spiders,
But they don't seem to mind.

I dropped my flashlight down one,
It still is shining fine.

16. The cake is really great.
The stuff I'm eating now,
Is still sticking to my plate.

17. The mosquitoes are really fine.
They're as big as helicopters,
And biting all the time.

Whenever they get hungry,
They eat up all the mice.

19. The Whammy is too much
But let me just remind you,
He is not a Klutz.

(the Whammy is the "resident" magician)

This Land is Your Land

CH: This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the Nyw Your island,
From the redwood forest, to the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for your and me.

1. As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway,
I saw below me that golden valley,
This land was made for you and me.

2. I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsetps,
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,
All around me a voice was sounding,
This land was made for you and me.

3. When he sun came shining, then I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting,
This land was made for you and me.

4. I followed your low hills, and I followed your cliff rims,
Your marble canyons and sunny bright waters,
This voice came calling as the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.

5. Nobody living, can ever stop me,
As I go walking down freedom's highway,
Nobody living can make me turn back.
This land was made for you and me.

6. As I went walking, I saw a sign there,
And on that sign it said "no trespassing"
But on the other side, it didn't say nothing,
This side was made for you and me.

Thousand Legged Worm

(tune: Polly Wolly Doodle)

Said the thousand legged worm, as he began to squirm,
"Has anybody seen a leg of mine?
If it can’t be found then I’ll have to hop around,
on the other nine hundred, ninety-nine."

Hop around, hop around,
On the other nine hundred ninety nine,
If it can’t be found then I’ll have to hop around,
On the other nine hundred, ninety-nine.

(then redo for nine hundred, ninety-eight,... until time is up...)

Three Wood Pigeons

Three wood pigeons
sitting on a log.

Oh no! One is flying away!

The Thing

While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day,
I saw a great big wooden box a floating in the bat.
I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise:
oooh, I discovered a (stomp - stomp - stomp) right before my eyes.
oooh, I discovered a (stomp - stomp - stomp) right before my eyes.

I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king.
I took it to a guy I knew who'd buy most anything.
But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop:
oooh, get out of here with that (stomp - stomp - stomp) before I call a cop.
oooh, get out of here with that (stomp - stomp - stomp) before I call a cop.

I turned around and got right out a running for my life.
And then I took it home to give it to my wife.
But this is what she hollered at me as I wallied in the door:
oooh,get out of here with that (stomp - stomp - stomp) and don't come back no more.
oooh,get out of here with that (stomp - stomp - stomp) and don't come back no more.

I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet,
A hobo who was looking for a handout on the street,
He said he'd take most anything - he was a desperate man:
oooh, when I showed him the (stomp - stomp - stomp) he turned around and ran.
oooh, when I showed him the (stomp - stomp - stomp) he turned around and ran.

I wandered on for many years a victim of my fate.
Until, one day, I came upon St. Peter at the gate.
And when I tried to take it inside, he told me where to go:
oooh, get out of here with that (stomp - stomp - stomp) and take it down below.
oooh, get out of here with that (stomp - stomp - stomp) and take it down below.

The moral of this story is if you're out on the beach,
And you should see a great big box, and it's within' my reach,
Dont ever stop and open it up, that's my advice to you
'Cause you'll never get rid of that (stomp - stomp - stomp) no matter what you do.
'Cause you'll never get rid of that (stomp - stomp - stomp) no matter what you do.

Titanic

CH: Oh, it was sad (so sad), It was sad,
It was sad when ther great ship went down (to the bottom).
All the husbands and wives,
And little children lost their lives,
It was sad when the great ship went down.

1. Oh, they build the ship Titanic,
To sail the ocean blue,
They said it was a ship the water would never leak through.
But the Lord's almighty hand,
Said the ship would never stand,
It was sad when the great ship went down.

2. Oh, they sailed from England's shore,
About a thousand miles or more,
When the rich refused to associate with the poor,
So they put them down below,
Whee they'd be first to go,
It was sad when the great ship went down.

3. Oh, the sides were filled with water,
And they all began to burst,
The Captain shouted bravely "Women and children first!"
They passed arough the belts,
And all prepared to drown,
It was sad when that great ship went down.

4. The people were afraid,
They all began to flee,
The band began to play, "Nearer by God to Thee".
The Captain tried to wire,
But the lines were all on fire,
It was sad when that great ship went down.

Tongue Twister Song

1. One flea fly flew up the flue, the other flea fly flew down,
One flea fly flew up the flue, the other flea fly flew down,
One flea fly flew up the flue, the other flea fly flew down.
Oh glory, glory how peculiar.

CH: Glory, glory how peculiar
Glory, glory how peculiar
Glory, glory how peculiar
While one flea fly flew up the flue, the other flea fly flew down.

Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice,
Three blind mice,
See how they run,
See how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
She cut off their tails with a carving knife, Have you ever seen such a thing in your life, As three blind mice? Three rodents with defective visual perception, Three rodents with defective visual perception, Observe how they perambulate, Observe how they perambulate, They all perambulated after the Agriculturalist's spouse, Who severed their tails with a kitchen utencil; Have you ever observed such a spectacle in your existence, As three rodents with defective visual perception?

Three Little Angles

Three little angels, all dressed in white,
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a kite.
The kite string broke, Down they fell.
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to:
Don't get excited, don't get misled -
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to bed.

Two little angels ...

One little angel ...

(Variation)
Three little devils, all dressed in red,
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a thread.
The thread string broke, Down they fell.
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to:
Don't get excited, don't get misled -
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to bed.

Two little devils ...

One little devil ...
