We all love getting to sit around the campfire while on a camping trip, but one of the best parts is the songs you get to sing all together. There are so many different songs out there that you could sing but which ones are some of the best ones to sing? Here are the top ten Girl Scout songs that you should sing on your next camping trip!
1- Mrs. O’Leary
Lyrics-
Late last night, when we were all in Bed
Mrs. O'Leary put a Lantern in the shed
and when the cow Kicked it over
She winked her Eye and said "It'll be a hot time in the old town tonight."
Fire Fire Fire
Pour on Water, Pour on Water,
Save my Children, Save my Children.
Jump Lady, Jump!
NEEEER SPLAT!
With this song, the part that makes it even more fun is that you keep repeating it, and everytime you repeat it you skip one more of the underlined words (for example the second time you sing it you are silent on bed, and the third time around you are silent on bed and lantern) and you keep going till there is nothing left to be silenced. You can even make up different hand gestures with your troop for each of the underlined words!
2- The Princess Pat
(This is a repeat and answer song so you call back every line)
Lyrics-
The Princess Pat
Lived in a tree
She sailed across
The seven seas
She sailed across
The channel 2
And she took with her
A rig of bamboo
A rig of bamboo
Now what is that?
It’s something made
By the princess pat
It’s red and gold
And purple too
That’s why it’s called
A rig of bamboo
Now captain jack
Had a mighty fine crew
He sailed across
The channel 2
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you don’t take
A rig of bamboo
A rig of bamboo
Now what is that?
It’s something made
By the princess pat
It’s red and gold
And purple too
That’s why it’s called
A rig of bamboo
Now the princess pat
Saved captain jack
She pulled him out
She saved his life
And his crews too
Do you know how?
With a rig of bamboo
3- Bazooka Bubble Gum
Lyrics-
My mom gave me a penny, she said go buy a henny, but I didn't buy no henny,
instead I bought bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum.
My mom gave me a nickel, she said go buy a pickle, but I didn't buy no pickle, instead I bought Bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum.
My mom gave me a dime, she said go buy a lime, but I didn't buy no lime, instead I bought Bubble Gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum.
My mom gave me a quarter, she said go buy some water, but I didn't buy no water, instead I bought Bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum.
My mom gave me a dollar, she said go buy a collar, but I didn't buy no collar, instead I bought Bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum.
My mom gave me a five, she said go stay alive, but I didn't stay alive, instead I choked on Bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum.
4- Baby Bumble Bee
Lyrics-
I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee, won’t my mommy be so proud of me! I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee- OUCH! It stung me!
I’m squishing up my baby bumble bee, won’t my mommy be so proud of me! I’m squishing up my baby bumble bee- EWW! What a mess!
I’m licking up my baby bumble bee, won’t my mommy be so proud of me! I’m licking up my baby bumble bee- ICK!! I feel sick!
I’m throwing up my baby bumble bee, won’t my mommy be so proud of me! I’m throwing up my baby bumble bee- OH!! What a mess!
I’m wiping up my baby bumble bee, won’t my mommy be so proud of me! I’m wiping up my baby bumble bee- OOPS!! Mommy’s new towel!
I’m wringing out my baby bumble bee, won’t my Mommy be so proud of me! I’m wringing out my baby bumble bee- Bye-Bye baby bumble bee!!
5- Hermie the Worm
Lyrics-
I was sitting on a fence post, chewing my bubble gum, (smack, smack). Playing with my yo-yo (do-wap, do-wap). And along came Hermie the Wormie. And he was this big… (hold up hands to show how big). And I said, Hermie, what happened? And he said, I ate my brother.
Repeat, but each time Hermie gets bigger!
Here is what you say each time you repeat-
One repeat: I ate my dad
Two repeats: I ate my house
Three repeats: I ate a whale
Four repeats: (He is small again) I burped!
6- The Doughnut Song
Lyrics-
Oh I walked around the corner and I walked around the block, and I walked right into a doughnut shop. I picked up a doughnut and I wiped off the grease and I handed the lady a five cent piece. Well she looked at the nickel and she looked at me and she said this money isn’t good you see, there’s a hole in the nickel, I can see right through! And I said there’s a hole in the doughnut too! Thanks for the doughnut, so-long!
7- Forty years on an iceberg
Lyrics-
Forty years on an iceberg
Over the ocean blue
Nothing to wear but Pajamas
Nothing to do but slide- weeee!
The air was cold and frosty
The frost began to bite
I had to hug a Polar Bear to keep me warm at night
Similar to the song number one, in this song each time you repeat it you hum one more line (for example once you finish the song once, you hum “Forty years on an iceberg” and continue singing “Over the ocean blue”)
8- Old McDonald
Lyrics-
Old McDonald had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on his farm he had a:
Tree!
Where they chop down the old pine tree, timber!
And they haul it away to the mill, Tra La La
Old McDonald had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on his farm he had a:
Home!
Home, home on the range!
Where they chop down the old pine tree, timber!
And they haul it away to the mill, Tralala
Old McDonald had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on his farm he had a:
Dog!
Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
He is home, home on the range!
Where they chop down the old pine tree, timber!
And they haul it away to the mill, Tralala
Old McDonald had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm he had a:
Sweetheart!
Let me call you sweetheart
I'm in love with youuuuu
Let me whisper in your ear:
Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
He is home, home on the range!
Where they chop down the old pine tree, timber!
And they haul it away to the mill, Tralala
Old McDonald had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on his farm he had an:
End!
E-I-E-I-OOOOOOO
9- The Bean Song
(each time you sing the song try to come up with a different bean to put in the blank. For example, my dog lima likes to roam…)
Lyrics-
My dog ___ likes to roam. One day ___ left her home. She came back all nice and clean. Where oh where has ___ been? ___been, ___been? Where or where has ___ been?
10- The Great Big Moose
This is a repeat and answer song
Lyrics-
There was a great big moose!
He liked to drink a lot of juice.
There was a great big moose!
He liked to drink a lot of juice.
Singing oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Way oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
The moose's name was Fred.
He liked to drink his juice in bed.
The moose's name was Fred.
He liked to drink his juice in bed.
Singing oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Way oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
He drank his juice with care,
But he spilled some in his hair.
He drank his juice with care,
But he spilled some in his hair.
Singing oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Way oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Now he’s a sticky moose
Because he’s all covered in juice!
Singing oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Way oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
