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.

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Over the sea withdrawn!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.

Let Us Sing Together

Let us sing together,
let us sing together,
one and all our joyous song.
Let us sing together,
one and all our joyous song.

Let us sing again and again,
let us sing again and agian,
let us sing again and again,
one and all our joyous song.

Everywhere Around the World

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

Sing along here!

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.

Barges

Out of my window,
looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea,
and the barges too go silently.

Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, Have you treasures in you hold,
do you fight with pirates brave and bold.

Out of my window,
looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red,
you can see them flickering far ahead.

Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, Have you treasures in your hold,
do you fight with pirates brave and bold.

Land of the Silver Birch

Land of the Silver Birch,
Home of the beaver,
Where stands the mighty moose,
Wanders at will,

CHORUS
Blue lake and rocky shore,
I will return once more,
Boom didi ah da,
Boom didi ah da,
Boom didi ah da,
Boom.

My heart is sick for thee,
Here in the low lands,
I will return to you,
Hills of the north.

CHORUS

Swift as a silver fish,
Canoe of birch bark,
Thy mighty waterways,
Carry me forth.

CHORUS

Here where the blue lake lies,
I’ll set my wigwam,
Close to the water’s edge,
Silent and still.

CHORUS

Tall Trees

Tall trees that reach the sky,
Mountains and lakes nearby,
Come near my friends,
Come sing my friends,
Our campfire time is nigh.

Good song to sing in a round.

Fire's Burning

Fire’s burning, fire’s burning,
Draw nearer, draw nearer,
In the gloaming, in the gloaming,
Come sing and be merry.

Good song to use as a round.
