Everywhere we go

A standard repeat-after-me style team cheer.

Everywhere we go!
People want to know,
who we are,
so we tell them.

WE ARE THE GIRL GUIDES!
the mighty mighty girl guides,
and if you can't hear us,
we'll sing a little louder!

Sing once at normal volume,
then get a little louder,
then sing really quiet,
then sing super loud and end with:


"And if you can't hear us,
THEN YOU'RE DEAF!"

Once a Girl Guide went to Camp...

Once, a Girl Guide went to camp,

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.

Black Socks

This song can be sung as a round, with one side repeating "Not Yet" and the other singing the song and then switching roles.

Black socks,
they never get dirty,
the longer you wear them,
the stronger they get.
Sometimes I think I should wash them,
but something keeps telling me,
no no,
not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet...

Humpty Dumpty Song

CHORUS
Hump ti-dump,
Hump hump-ti dump-ti dump-ti,
Hump ti-dump,
Hump hump-ti dump-ti dump-ti.

(After the chorus, someone sings a nusury rhyme, but ends it short, adding instead ugh, ain't that funky now)

Examples:

CHORUS
Jack and Jill went up a hill,
to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
and ugh, ain't that funky now.
CHORUS
Old Mother Hubbard,
went to her cupboard,
to fetch her poor dog a bone.
When she went there,
the cupboard was bare,
and ugh ain't that funky now.
CHORUS

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...

Jelly Bean Song

One little jelly bean,
down in my belly been,
giving me a tummy ache,
what am I gonna take?
My friends are telling me,
they've got a remedy,
never eat the green ones,
and rub your belly,
and pat your head,
and kick your leg,
and bounce up and down.

Each time you sing this song, add one of the italisized lines onto the song. I.e. - start with "rub your belly," and the next time sing "rub your belly and pat your head."

Fishie song (Have you ever gone a fishin')

Have you ever gone a fishin'
on a bright and sunny day,
and all the little fishies
swimmin up and down the bay?
With their hands in their pockets,
and their pockets in their pants,
and all the little fishies do the hoochie coochie dance.

Ba da ba dum dat,
Ba da ba da,
Ba da ba dum dat,
Ba da ba da,
with their hands in their pockets,
and their pockets in their pants,
and all the little fishies do the hoochie coochie dance.

Have you ever gone a fishin'
on a cold winter's day,
and all the little fishies
are frozen in the bay?
With their hands in their pockets,
and their pockets in their pants,
and all the little fishies do the hoochie coochie dance.

Ba da ba dum dat,
Ba da ba da,
Ba da ba dum dat,
Ba da ba da,
with their hands in their pockets,
and their pockets in their pants,
and all the little fishies do the hoochie coochie dance.
