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,

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...

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...

I have not brought my specs with me.

in the store!


There are beans,

driving submarines,
In the Quarter Master's,
Quarter Master's store.

Winter Camp Barges

This song goes to the tune of barges with lyrics about winter camping.

Out of my tent flap,
looking at the snow,
I can see my boots,
frozen down below.

Suddenly goes a blizzard through my tent,
I begin to wonder why I went.

Winter camp,
I don't want to go to you,
I don't want to freeze my butt off too.

Winter Camp,
but we all have so much fun,
it'll be three months till we see the sun.

Pathfinders

Pathfinders, Guiding along,
sharing a promise,
or sharing a song!
Planning tomorrow,
enjoying today.
Pathfinders! We're on our way.

Different roads to follow each day,
learning through work,
and learning through play!
We'll do our best,
'cause we're proud to say,
Pathfinders! We've found our way.

There's a wide world waiting out there,
people to help,
to show that we care!
We're learning now,
how best to prepare,
Pathfinders! We'll do our share!

Pathfinders, Guiding along,
sharing a promise,
or sharing a song!
Planning tomorrow,
enjoying today.
Pathfinders! We're here to stay!

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!

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!

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.

Our Cabana

'Neath the grand Sierra Madre,
on a plain in Mexico,
lies our beautiful Cabana,
where Girl Scouts and Guides go.

So come then to see the mountains,
the cactus and sunny skies,
hear the cricket in the evening,
see the white moon arise.

When you see the warm red roofs,
you think of hearts that glow with cheer,
and the walls of sturdy stone work,
stand for friendship so dear.

Each day there is filled with laughter,
each evening is filled with song,
and our stay at our Cabana,
gives us memories life long.

When we go to our Cabana,
we will find ourselves at home,
there's a greeting smile so friendly,
and a handshake so warm.

So come now to our Cabana,
world friendship to increase,
and carry to your homeland,
international peace.

Our Chalet

High up,
high on the mountain,
we founded our Chalet.
High up,
high on the mountain,
we founded our Chalet.

Its sloping roof and wide,
shall shelter us,
without a care,
and each Girl Scout and Guide,
shall find a welcome there.

High up,
high on the mountain,
we'll go to our Chalet.
High up,
high on the mountain,
we'll go to our Chalet.

Our simple life is free,
our hearts are light,
our songs are gay!
We ever shall remember,
the choice of our Chalet.

High up,
high on the mountain,
we founded our Chalet.
High up,
high on the mountain,
we founded our Chalet.

And this,
its dedication shall never fail,
nor be undone!
Each race, each creed, each nation,
beneath its roof are one.

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.

Tzena

Pronounced Zeah-na.

Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena,
Can't 'cha hear the music playin',
In the village square.
Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena,
Can't 'cha hear the music playin',
In the village square.

Tzena, Tzena,
Join the celebration.
They'll be people there from every nation,
God will find us dancing in the sunlight,
dancing in the village square!!

Good song to use as a round. Very cool with three parts.
