Once a Girl Guide went to Camp...

Once, a Girl Guide went to camp,

Go Well and Safely

Go well and safely,
go well and safely,
go well and safely,
the Lord be ever with you.

Stay well and safely,
stay well and safely,
stay well and safely,
the Lord be ever with you.

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

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

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.

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.

Join in the Game

Let everyone clap hands like me,

Guiders

This is a Girl Guide version of Barges that goes to the same tune.

Out of my tent flap,
looking in the night,
I can see the leaders having a fight.
Silently goes a pilow through the air,
and there goes Guider's underwear.

Guiders, I would like to go with you,
I would like to have a pop can too.
Guiders, are your boyfriends in your beds,
did you plan this night five months ahead.
