Sparks Closing Song (I Promise to Share and Be A Friend)

I Promise to Share nd Be a Friend.
By showing we care it's love we send.
Tho' the world is so wide,
with love deep inside,
It's easy to be a friend a friend!!!

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!"

Linger

mhmmm... I want to linger,
mhmmm... a little longer,
mhmmm... a little longer here with you,
my dear.

mhmmm... it's such a perfect night,
mhmmm... it doesn't seem quite right,
mhmmm... that this should be my last with you.

mhmmm... and as the years go by,
mhmmm... I'll think of you and sigh,
mhmmm... this is goodnight and not goodbye.

mhmmm... I want to linger,
mhmmm... a little longer,
mhmmm... a little longer here with you.

Sing along here!

Go well and safely,

Stay well and safely,

Note: "the Lord" is sometimes replaced with "may peace"

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...

The Camp Wake-up Song

We're at Camp (name of camp),
and we're in luck,
if it rains all day,
we can all act like ducks!

Wibble wobble,
Wibble wobble,
Quack, quack, quack!

Wibble wobble,
Wibble wobble,
Quack, quack, quack!

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.

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.

Quarter Master's Store

Chorus
My eyes are dim,
I can not see,
I have not brought my specs with me.
I have not brought my specs with me.


There are beans,
beans,
driving submarines,
in the store,
in the store!


There are beans,
beans,
driving submarines,
In the Quarter Master's,
Quarter Master's store.


CHORUS. and repeat the verse


Each time you sing the verse, replace the italicized words with rhyming phrases, such as bannanas in pajamas, or cats in hats.

40 Days on an Iceberg

Actions for each line of this song are in brackets ( ) below each line.

Forty days on an iceberg,
(flash ten fingers 4 times)
over the ocean blue.
(mimick waves with your hands)
Nothing to wear but pajamas,
(pull on PJ bottoms)
nothing to do but slide.
(mimick a slide with your hands)
The air was cold and frosty,
(shiver with arms crossed over your chest)
the frost began to bite.
(Gently pinch your arms)
I had to hug a polar bear,
to keep me warm at night!
(Hug the person next to you)

Similar to "Swimming, Swimming, in the swimming pool," this song losses a line each time you sing it again, humming in the place of the line you remove.

Pink Pajamas

I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot,
I wear my flannel nighties in the winter when it's not,
and sometimes in the spring,
and sometimes in the fall,
I jump into my little bed with nothing on at all.

That's the time you aught to see me,
That's the time you aught to see me,
That's the time you aught to see me,
When I jump into my little bed with nothing on at all.

Nosy nosy what's it to ya?
Nosy nosy what's it to ya?
Nosy nosy what's it to ya?
When I jump into my little bed with nothing on at all.

Join in the Game

Let everyone clap hands like me,
(clap, clap)
Let everyone clap hands like me,
(clap, clap)
Come on and join into the game,
you'll find that it's always just the same.
(clap, clap)

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!

Sparks Jump Up

Sparks jump up,
when you light the fire.
Sparks jump up,
and give a big cheer!
Sparks jump up,
as flames get higher.
The Sparks!
The Sparks!
The Sparks are here.

We who have come here

We who have come here,
come here together,
and if we had all come,
we would do wonders.

This is a clapping game song.

Guide Law Song

I challenge myself to the Guiding law,
to be honest, and true,
to be wise in the use of resources I have,
to respect myself and others too.

To know and to use my gifts and skills,
to respect my common world.
With the courage and strength,
that we share in the joys,
of the Guiding sisterhood!
