Won't my mommy be so proud of me? 

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee, 

Ouch! It stung me 

Squishing up. . . Ew! It's all over me 

Licking up. . . Oh! I don't feel so good! 

Throwing up. . . Ew! It's all over the floor! 

Mopping up. . . Ew! The mop 

Ringing out. . . Ew! The sink 

Washing out. . . Bye-bye Baby Bumblebee! 


Bug Juice Tune: 

“On Top of Old Smokey” 

At camp with the Girl Scouts, 

They gave us a drink, 

We thought it was Koolaid, 

Because it was pink. 

But the thing that they told us, 

Would have grossed out a moose, 

For that good tasting pink drink, 

Was really bug juice. 

It looked fresh and fruity, 

Like tasty Kool-Aid, 

But the bugs that were in it, 

were murdered with Raid. 

We drank by the gallons, 

We drank by the ton, 

But then the next morning, 

We all had the runs. 

Next time you drink bug juice, 

And a bug drives you mad, 

He's just getting even, 

Because you swallowed his dad. 

The Beetles and the Bedbugs 

V1: I woke up Sunday morning and looked up on the wall 

The beetles and the bedbugs were playing a game of ball 

Chorus: 

Singing eenie meenie and a miney mo 

Catch a wiffle waffle wiffer by the toe 

And if he hollers, hollers, hollers, hollers, let him go 

Singing eenie meenie and a miney mo. 

V2: The score was six to nothing the bedbugs were ahead 

The beetles hit a home run and knocked me out of bed 

Chorus 

V3: I rolled into the sewer and that is where I died 

They didn't call it murder they called it sewercide! 

Chorus

Bazooka zooka bubble gum 

V.2: My momma she gave me a nickel 

She told me to buy a pickle

V.3: My momma she gave me a dime

But I did not buy a lime 

V.4: My momma she gave me a quarter

V.5: My momma she gave me a dollar 

She told me to buy a collar

Instead I choked on bubble gum 

Black Socks 

Verse 1 

Black socks, they never get dirty, 

The longer you wear them, 

The blacker they get, 

Sometimes I think about washing 

But something inside me says, "Oh no, not yet!" 

Verse 2 

Knee socks, they never stay up 

The long you wear them, 

The shorter they get, 

Sometimes I think about anklets 


Verse 3 

Girl Scouts, they never are quiet 

The longer you're near them, 

The louder they get 

Sometimes I think about muzzles 


The Bear Went Over the Mountain 

The bear went over the mountain 



To see what he could see 

He saw a troop of Brownies 



Yes that's what he did see 

He ate up all the Brownies 



Yes that's what he did do 

They gave him indigestion 



Yes that's what they did do 

He took some Alka Seltzer 




He burped up all the Brownies 




He never went over the mountain 



To see what he could see

Brownie Smile Song 

I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face. 

I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place. 

I bet you'll never guess it if you guess a long, long while 

So I'll take it out and I'll put it on, 

It's a great big Brownie smile. 

Buffalo Song 

Across the windswept desert 

Where nature knows no man

He’s been dead since way last May, since way last May

Barges 

Chorus: 

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? 

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. 

Chorus 

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. 

Chorus 

The Billboard 

As I was walking home, one dark and dreary day, 

I came upon a billboard, and much to my dismay, 

The sign was torn and tattered from a storm the night before. 

The wind and rain had done its job and this is what I saw:

Turned out to be Poison Ivy.

Don’t touch my Poison Ivy, ivy, 

Don't touch! Don't touch! 

Don’t touch my Poison Ivy, ivy. 

Chigger Song 

Tune: “Polly Wally Doodle” 

Oh, there was a little chigger 

And it wasn't any bigger 

Than the wee little head on a pin. 

And the bump that he raises 

Itches like the blazes 

And that's where the rubbing comes in. 

They go wild, simply wild, over me (over me) 

From my head all the way to my knees. 

You can rub with soap and grease 

But you'll never sleep in peace. 

They go wild, simply, wild, over me (over me).

Counselors 

Tune: “Barges” 

Out of my tent flap looking in the night, 

I can see my counselors having a fight. 

Silently goes a pillow through the air, 

And there goes someone’s underwear. 

Counselors, I would like to fight with you, 

I would like to hit you with my shoe. 

Counselors, have you treasures in your tent? 

Like candy, gum, or peppermints. 

Out of my tent flap looking in the night, 

I can see my counselors, what a sight! 

Curlers in their hair and cold cream on their face, 

They look like something from outer space. 

Counselors, I would like to be like you 

I would like to have some privileges too. 

Counselors, with your cookies and your coke, 

I hope they make you burp and choke.

And I handed the lady a five cent piece.

There's a hole in the middle and it goes right through." 

I said "there's a hole in the donut, too. 

Thanks for the donut, Toot-a-loo.”

Deep in the heart of Africa 

Beneath the bamboo trees 

There lived a lady elephant 

Her name her name was Louise 

Louise was mighty fond of 

An elephant named Joe 

And every night 

By the pale moonlight 

He'd serenade her so 

Louise, Louise 

Won't you come out from behind those trees 

Baby don't you gimme no bonky bonky 

I just wanna hold your tronky tronky 

You got the skin I like to touch 

And I love you so much 

My sweet, sweet, Louise

40 days on an iceberg (hold up 4 fingers and bob hand up and 

down in front of you) 

Over the ocean wide (Sign language for wave, then hold hands 

in front of you as if measuring distance) 

Nothing to wear but jammies (Touch shoulders, waist, and 

knees) 

Nothing but slide (Hands with palms down, fingers outstretched, 

pushing down and away from body) 

The air was cold and frosty (Rub arms as if cold) 

The frost began to bite (Gently “bite” neighbor with hand) 

I had to hug a polar bear to keep me warm at night (Hug 

neighbor)

over,but instead of saying the verses you hum them in the 

order they appear. After you have left out all the underlined 

words, sing the song through again with the ending.

Hawaiian Punch 

Tune: "The Brady Bunch Theme Song" 

It's the story of a lovely apple, 

Who was bringing up three very lovely fruits. 

All of them had skin of gold like their mother, 

The youngest one in peels. 

It's the story of lovely Pineapple, 

Who was bringing up three fruits of his own. 

They were four fruits living all together, 

But they were all alone. 

Then the one day the apple met the pineapple, 

And they knew that it was much more than a hunch. 

That this group must somehow form a beverage, 

That's the way they all became Hawaiian Punch. 

Hawaiian Punch, Hawaiian Punch. 

That's the way they became Hawaiian Punch.

and true 

Or the next thing you know it will happen to you, and you will be

My Reindeer 

Tune: “Pomp and Circumstance” 

My reindeer flies sideways, she's better than yours. 

My reindeer can cha-cha; she can open up doors. 

My reindeer is purple; yours is a pea green. 

My reindeer's a Girl Scout; she can dig a latrine. 

My reindeer wears p-jays, yours sleeps in the nude, 

My reindeer has manners; your reindeer is crude. 

Your reindeer uses fire starters, my reindeer uses *just one 

match* 

Your reindeer gets chilly; mine wears a scarf and hat. 

My reindeer wears a poncho; your reindeer gets wet. 

My reindeer is healthy, yours goes to the vet. 

My reindeer flies sideways, your reindeer flies upside down. 

My reindeer is perfect. Your reindeer is *dead*

Moving to the beat-a 

Now Cheetah is Velveeta 





Sha-mu! 

Was swimming in the ocean blue 

Crashed into a big canoe 

Now Shamu's gonna sue 





Like-a- ba-nanna 

Char-lie! 

Was riding on his Harley 

Crashed into Bob Marley 

Now Charlie's not so gnarly 

Now Shamu's gonna sue 





Like-a-ba-nanna. 

Turkey Song 


I went down to the river 

(Push hands down diagonally from left to right from armpit level 

to hip level 2x) 

And I took a little walk 

(Move hands to left of body at face level then snap fingers in 

unison and pull hands diagonally across your body. Do the same 

for the right side.) 

I came across some Turkeys 

(Flap arms like a turkey and bend knees flapping legs outward 

and inward) 

And we had a little talk 

(Make hands as to imitate someone talking and move in an arc 

from left side to right side) 

So I washed them Turkeys 

(Swish motion from Austrian) 

And I hung ‘em on the line 

(Act as if hanging something on a clothes line (lead with left 

hand)) 

I said we can beat those turkeys 

(Hit chest with right hand then swing arm out to the right with 

open palm) 

Oh any old time. 

(“Talk to the hand” motion) 

This song should be sung Normally the first time through, then 

softer until just the motions are being done. The last verse is 

sung VERY loudly. The more attitude you put into singing this 

song, the better it will be. 


Titanic 

V1 

Oh, they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue, 

And they thought they had a ship that the water wouldn’t go 

through. 

But the good Lord raised his hand 

Said the ship will never land, 

It was sad when the great ship went down. 

Chorus 

Oh, it was sad, so sad, too bad! 

It was sad when the great ship went down 

To the bottom of the sea-ea-ea-ea 

(Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives) 


V2 

Well we weren't very far from Greenland’s friendly shores when 

the rich refused to associate with the poor. So they sent them 

down below where they'd be the first to go ....It was sad when 

the great ship went down. 

Chorus 




(Uncles and aunts, little children lost their pants) 


V3 

Well the lifeboats went out to the stormy raging seas as the 

band struck up with "Near My God to Be". Little children wept 

and cried as the waves poured over the side. It was sad when 

the great ship went down. 

Chorus 






V4 

Well the captain stood on deck with a tear in his eye. As the 

lifeboats left he waved them all good bye. But he thought he 

made a slip so he went down with the ship. It was sad when the 

great ship went down 


Chorus 






V5 

Oh, the moral of this story is very clear to see. 

Always wear a life preserver when you go out to sea! 

So if your ship goes down, 

You will never, ever drown, 


Chorus 






Ker-plunk! It sunk! What a rotten piece of junk 

Under The Bamboo 

Under the bamboo 

Under the bamboo tree 

There's room enough for you my darlin' 

Room enough for 1-2-3-4 

When we get married, happy we'll be 

Under the bamboo 

Under the bamboo tree 

If you'll be m-i-n-e mine 

I'll be t-h-i-n-e thine 

And I will l-o-v-e- love you 

All the t-i-m-e- time 

You are the b-e-s-t best 

Of all the r-e-s-t- rest 

I'll l-o-v-e- love you 

All the t-i- buddy of mine 

Rack em up, sack em up any old time 

Match in the gas tank 

Boom boom!

And the land was sweet and good 

Hidie hidie! I did what I could. Oh yeah! 



So I got myself a horse 

And I called my horse Diamond of course 






So I got myself a cow 

And I called my cow no milk now 







So I got myself a duck 

And I called my duck out of luck 








So I got myself a hen. 

And I called my hen gone again 









So I got myself a wife 

And I called my wife “love of my life” 











So I got myself a son 

And I called my son when your work is done 











So I got myself a daughter, 

And I called my daughter you’re much smarter 

And I called my son when your work is done
