Make New Friends
Make new friends, but keep the old,
One is silver and the other is gold.
A circle is round, it has no end,
That's how long I will be your friend.
A fire burns bright, it warms the heart,
We've been friends, from the very start.
You have one hand, I have the other,
Put them together, we have each other.
Silver is precious, Gold is too,
I am precious and so are you.
You help me and I'll help you,
and together we will see it through.
The sky is blue, the Earth is green,
I can help to keep it clean.
Across the land, across the sea,
Friends forever we will always be.
I Wish I Was...
[Tune: If You’re Happy]
Oh, I wish I was a little striped skunk.
Oh, I wish I was a little striped skunk.
I would sit up in the tree-sies, and perfume all the breezies.
Oh, I wish I was a little stripe-ed skunk.

Little Birdie - I'd fly up to the steeples and go “plbbbp” on the people.
Mosquito - Oh, I’d itchy and I’d bitey, under everybody’s nighty.

Fishy in the Sea - Oh, wouldn’t I look cute, without my bathing suit.
English Sparrow - Oh, I’d sit up in the steeple, and spit on all the people.
Bog o’ Mud - Oh, I’d oozy and I’d goozy into everybody’s shoesie.
Slippery Root - Oh, I’d stick up in the trail, and I’d flop you on your tail.
Candle Flame - Oh, I’d be so very bright, and go out every night.
Safety Pin - And everything that’s busted, I would hold until I rusted.
Can of Soda - I’d go down with a slurp, and come up with a burp.
Kangaroo - Oh, I’d hippy and I’d hoppy inside my mommy’s pockie.
Spoon of Castor Oil - Oh, I’d lubricate the chassies of all the lads and lassies.
Sugar Bun - Oh, I’d slippy and I’d slidey into everyone’s insides.
Juicy little orange – I’d go squirty, squirty, squirty onto everybody’s shirty.
Foreign car - I'd go speedy, speedy, speedy, over everybody's feety.
Water Bed - Oh, I’d wobble and I’d wiggle and make the sleepers giggle.
Boom Chicka Boom
I says a-boom-chick-a-boom! [Group echoes.]
I says a-boom-chick-a-boom! [Group echoes.]
I says a-boom-chick-a-rock-a-chick-a-rock-a-chick-a-boom! [Group echoes.]
Uh-huh! [Group echoes.]
Oh Yeah! [Group echoes.]
One more time! [Group echoes.]
We sing! [Group echoes.]
HIGHER!
Each time a leader adds a different variation such as: LOWER, WHISPER, LOUDER, TONGUE-IN-CHEEK, GROOVY.
Once a Girl Scout went to Camp
(Tune: Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes)
Once a Girl Scout went to camp, went to camp
Went to camp without her lamp, without her lamp
And there she saw a spider in her bed, her bed
This is what the Girl Scout said, Girl Scout said:
“Spider spider, go away, go away,
You are not allowed to stay, allowed to stay
This is what my leader said,
’No two bodies in one bed, in one bed.’”
Once a Boy Scout went to camp, went to camp
Went to camp without his lamp, without his lamp
And there he saw a spider in his bed, in his bed
This is what the Boy Scout said, Boy Scout said:
”Aaaaaauuughhhhhh!”
On top of Spaghetti
(Tune: On Top of Old Smokey)
On top of Spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table, and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.
It rolled down the garden, and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush!
The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be,
And then the next summer it grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered, all covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs, all covered with sauce.
So if you have spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
Hold onto your meatball, 'cause someone might sneeze.
The Ants Go Marching
The ants go marching one by one. Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one. Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one.
The little one stops to suck his thumb.
And they all go marching down,
To the ground, to get out of the rain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Other Verses:
two by two tie his shoe
three by three climb a tree
four by four shut the door
five by five take a dive
six by six pick up sticks
seven by seven pray to heaven
eight by eight shut the gate
nine by nine check the time
ten by ten say "The End"
Roadkill Café
(Tune: Three Blind Mice)
Roadkill Café, you'll love their food.
They spice it up, so it's really good.
First they go down to the inter-state,
They scoop some up and put it on a plate.
They stew it up 'til it's really great.
It's Roadkill Café,
Roadkill Café.
Racoon rib-eye, Squirrel pot pie.
Porcupine pâté, fowl flambeau.
A dash of salt, a sprinkle of pepper,
they even use Hamburger Helper.
You'll never taste anything better,
than Roadkill Café.
Have a great day!
