An Old Austrian

An old Austrian went yodelling, on a mountain top high,
when along came a ______________,
interrupting his cry.

Yo-day-eee...
Yodelleh-he-he,
yodelleh-(sounds)
Yodelleh-he-he,

yodelleh-(sounds)
Yodelleh-he-he,
yodelleh-(sounds)
Youdelleh-he-he-a-ho.

(repeat)

This song is sung my replacing the blank (________) with something the Austrian meets each time it is sung, and also adding a sound in the place of (sounds) each time it is repeated. You end up changing the thing the Austrian meets every time you repeat, but the sounds get added onto the one before. For example, the first time you sing, the Austrian meets a Coocoo bird, and you make the sound coo-coo coo-coo. The second time round, the Austrian meets a dog, and you make the sounds coo-coo coo-coo, AND ha-ha (panting). This song can be repeated as many times as needed.

The Things the Austrian Meets - (and the sounds)

Coocoo bird - (coo-coo coo-coo)
St. Bernard - (ha ha *panting*)
Avalanche - (swoosh)
Grizzly Bear - (Grrrr)
Milking Cow - (Mooooooo!)
Pretty Girl - (*kissing sounds*)
Angry Dad - (BANG BANG *pistol shots*)
Skydiver - (Ahhhhh!!!)
Girl Guide - (Cooooooookies?)

When we sing this song, we like to end with "An anti-yodeller" who says "Be quiet!" and covers his ears, ending the song there.

Tinga Layo

Tinga Layo,
Run little donkey run.
Tinga Layo,
Run little donkey run.

My donkey walks,
My donkey talks,
My donkey eats with a knife and fork.

Tinga Layo,
Run little donkey run...
Run little donkey run...
Run little donkey run...
Run little donkey run...

Ira Congo

Ira Congo.
Ira Congo by aye.

Ira Congo,
by aye Congo,
by aye Congo,
bye aye.

This song can be sung in a round.

Listen to the Earth

Listen to the Earth,
its singing to me.
Hear all things in harmony!

Waterfalls and raindrops,
birds and bees.
Sing the song of the Earth to me.

Ranger Song

Firm be the bond that binds us fast,
Firm be the faith we owe!
We who are standing side by side,
One though a thousand leagues divide.
Hills where the lighted campfires gleam and glow.

Down in the ash the embers die,
turned to a silver grey!
Golden and blue, the evening sky,
raises a star-lit flag on high.
Now that the night relieves the guard of day.

Under the dark the daylight waits,
Over the sea withdrawn!
Now let the day bring calm or strife,
Rangering forth in love with life.
We have a tryst, a tryst to keep with dawn.

Brownie Smile Song

I've got something in my pocket,
it belongs across my face,
and I keep it very close to me,
in a most convenient place.

I'm sure you couldn't guess it,
if you guessed a long long while,
so I'll take it out and put it on,
it's a great big brownie smile!

Taps

Day Time Taps

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

Night Time Taps

Day is done,
gone the sun,
from the lakes,
from the hills,
from the sky!
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

On The Loose

Have you ever watched a sunrise,
turn the sky completely red?
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars,
a pine cone for your bed?
Do you sit and talk with friends,
though not a word is ever said?
Than 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 the 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 my dreams,
I will live and I will go.
In a world that's waiting out there,
On the loose.

CHORUS

So in search of love and laughter,
I am travelling 'cross this land,
never sure of where I'm going,
for I haven't any plans,
and in time when you are ready,
come and join me,
take my hand,
and together we'll share what's out there,
On the loose.

CHORUS

Sing Along Here!

Sing a Song of Canada

Chorus:
Sing a song of Canada,
let your spirit show,
send your voice across the land,
and let the whole world know,
it's a land of endless beauty,
of people proud and free,
so,
Sing a song of Canada,
our home from sea to sea.

It's a song of crowded seagulls,
and mountains towering high,
gentle hills and rolling praries,
beneath the Northern skies.
Woodlands, lakes and rivers,
so much variety,
mountains, lakes and seagulls,
blended all in harmony.

CHORUS

Its a song of friendly people,
who built this land, who tried,
many races, creeds and colours,
all working side my side.
Farms and towns and cities,
so much diversity,
Our culture almost blended,
blending all in harmony.

CHORUS

Sing Along Here!

Like an Eagle

Born in the mountains,
the wind blowing free,
given by nature the wisdom to see,
power to heal and the strength to command,
child of our native land.

Chorus:
Fly far, like the eagle,
Be strong, like the eagle,
Soar high, like the eagle,
Live long, like the eagle,
When we come together in harmony,
like the eagle,
We'll be strong and free.

Circling and heeling and timing the sky,
looking at life through a far seeing eye,
searching and seeking and finding it there,
spirit of earth and air.

CHORUS

One sky above us, and one earth below,
life all around us and things that we know,
nothing to shadow the light of the sun,
everywhere we are one.

CHORUS

Everywhere Around the World

Everywhere around the world tonight,
Guides are singing,
'round the campfire light.

Sing along here!

Pax Lodge Song

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

And with our sisters by our side,
we learn to lead, we learn to guide,
we clear the path, we pave the way,
to peace on earth, to a brighter day.

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

Sometimes the road,
is hard and long,
and yet together we are strong,
and as we weave life's tapestry,
each colour blends in harmony.

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

Wherever we wander,
wherever we rome,
Pax Lodge will always be our home,
a place where strangers soon are friends,
I'll meet you there where the rainbow ends.

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

Make New Friends

Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,
and the other's gold.

A circle's round,
it has no end.
That's how long,
I want to be your friend.

I have a hand,
and you have another,
put them together,
and we have each other.

Make new friends,
but keep the old,
one is silver,
and the other's gold.

This song can be sung as a round.

Softly Falls The Light Of Day

Softly falls the light of day,
as our campfire fades away.
Silently each Guide should ask,
have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honour bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
everything to be prepared?

Sing along here!

Sangam Song

The symbol of one,
the Sangam is our pride.
Though love and affection,
don't change like the tide.
Regardless of colour,
religion or creed.
To spread benevolence,
we're sowing the seed.

Guides of all nations,
together we stand,
with goodwill and friendship,
unite in our band.
To help the weak and aged,
we make ourselves strong.
To gain inspiration,
we always sing this song.

SANGAM OH SANGAM!
Symbol of oneness.

One Tin Soldier

Listen children,
to a story,
that was written long ago,
'bout a kingdom on a mountain,
and the valley folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure,
buried deep beneath the stone,
and the valley people swore,
they'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
go ahead and cheat a friend,
do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgement day,
on the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley,
sent a message up the hill,
asking for the buried treasure,
tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
with our brothers we will share,
all the secrets of our mountain,
all the riches buried there.

Now the valley cried with anger,
Mount your horses! Draw your swords!
And they killed the mountain people,
so they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
on the mountain,
dark and red,
turned the stone and looked beneath it,
Peace on earth,
was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
go ahead and cheat a friend,
do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgement day,
on the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.

Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
go ahead and cheat a friend,
do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgement day,
on the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.
