Patriotic Songs

America (My Country Tis of Thee)

My country! ‘tis of thee,

Sweet land of liberty,

Of thee I sing;

Land where my father's died,

Land of the pilgrims’ pride,

From every mountain side

Let freedom ring.

My native country, thee,

Land of the noble free,

Thy name I love;

I love thy rocks and rills,

Thy woods and templed hills,

My heart with rapture thrills

Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,

And ring from all the trees,

Sweet freedom’s song;

Let mortal tongues awake,

Let all that breathe partake,

Let rocks their silence break,

The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God to thee

Author of Liberty,

To thee we sing;

Long may our land be bright

With freedom’s holy light,

Protect us by thy might,

Great God, our King.

America the Beautiful

O, beautiful for spacious skies

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain.

America! America! God shed his grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea.

O, beautiful for pilgrim feet,

Whose stern impassioned stress,

A thoroughfare for freedom beat,

Across the wilderness!

America! America! God mend thine every flaw,

Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in law

O, beautiful for heroes proved

In liberating strife

Who more that self their country loved

And mercy more than life!

America! America! May God thy gold refine,

Till all success be nobleness,

And every gain divine!

O, beautiful for patriot dream,

That sees beyond the years,

Thine alabaster cities gleam,

Undimmed by human tears.

America! America! God shed his grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea.

God Bless America

God Bless America,

Land that I love.

Stand beside her, and guide her

Thru the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,

To the oceans, white with foam

God bless America, My home sweet home.

Star Spangled Banner

O say can you see by the dawn’s early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

And the rockets’ red glare the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there!

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

This Land is Your Land

Chorus:

This land is your land. This land is my land

From California to the New York Island,

From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters,

This land was made for you and me.

As I went walking that ribbon of highway,

I saw above me, that endless skyway.

I saw below me that golden valley (or name of town where you are).

This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts. All around me, this voice was saying

This land was made for you and me.

Chorus

I followed your low hills and I followed your cliff rims

Your marble canyons and sunny bright waters.

I could see around me and feel inside me.

This land was made for you and me.

As I went traveling that ribbon of highway

I saw a sign that said “No Trespassing”

But on the other side it didn’t say nothing.

This land was made for you and me.

Chorus

When the sun came shining than I was strolling

And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling

This voice was saying as the fog was lifting

This land was made for you and me.

You're A Grand Old Flag

You're a grand old flag

You're a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave.

You're the emblem of

The land I love

The home of the free and the brave.

Every heart beats true for the red, white, and blue

Where there's never a boast or brag.

Should an old acquaintance be forgot,

Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Thank you dirt, thanks a bunch,

For my salad, my sandwich, my milk, and my munch,

'Cause dirt you made my lunch.

We’re thankful for this day.

I'm a Knife

(sing to the tune of "if you're happy and you know it")
I'm a knife, fork, spoon, spatula [cha cha cha]
I'm a knife, fork, spoon, spatula [cha cha cha]
I'm a knife, fork, spoon
I'm a knife, fork, spoon
I'm a knife, fork, spoon, spatula [cha cha cha]
Actions for each item...
For knife, clap your hands together straight over your head
For fork, hold your arms apart like fork prongs
For spoon, make a circle over your head with your arms
For spatula, make hold your arms more square than you did for the fork.
For cha cha cha, make up your own motions!

Johnny Appleseed (revised)

Oh, the Earth is good to me
And so I thank the Earth
For giving me the things I need:
The sun and the rain and the apple seed
The Earth is good to me.

Backwards Song

Well I walked up the door and I opened the stairs

Said my pajamas and I put on my prayers.

Turned off the bed and jumped into the light

All because he kissed me good night!

Well, I woke up next morning and I scrambled my shoes

Shined up an egg and I toasted the news

Buttered my tie and took another bite

All because he kissed me never could resist me

All because he kissed me Good night!

You know I love my baby (love my baby)

I love the way that she hugs (way that she hugs)

Some people don't understand it (don't understand it)

She's a banana slug (banana slug)

He's got just one foot

He ain't got no toes

He hangs out in the forest

And helps it decompose.

Chorus

The way you wiggle your antenna

You know you give me such bliss

Come on come on come on banana slug

Won't you blow me a kiss.

The way you slide through the forest

You know you look so fine

Come on come on come on banana slug

Won't you show me your slime.

Chorus

You know I love my baby

But he don't need me

That's because he's hermaphroditic

That means he's also a she!

Sticky as peanut butter

Shades of yellow

Looks like banana

But oh so mellow!

Shake it up baby

Twist and slime

Come on come on come on banana slug

Oh you slime so fine.

The Bear (repeat song)

The other day

I met a bear

Out in the woods

Oh way out there

He looked at me

I looked at him

He sized up me

I sized up him.

He says to me

Why don't you run?

I see you ain't

Got any gun.

And so I ran

Away from there.

But right behind

Me was that bear.

Ahead of me,

There was a tree.

A great big tree,

Oh glory be!

The nearest branch

Was 10 feet up.

I'd have to jump

And trust my luck.

And so I jumped,

Into the air.

But I missed that branch

On the way up there.

No don't you fret,

And don't you frown.

'Cause I caught that branch

On the way back down.

This is the end,

There ain't no more.

Unless I meet,

That bear once more.

Birdie Song

Way up in the sky, the little birds fly

While down in the nest, the little birds rest.

With a wing on the left, and a wing on the right,

The little birds sleep, all through the night.

Black Socks (R)

Black socks they never get dirty

The longer you wear them the blacker they get.

Someday I think I shall wash them

But something inside me says don't do it yet.

Not yet, Not yet, Not yet.

Boy Scouts, they never get smarter

The long you teach them

The dumber they get.

Someday, I think I shall marry one,

Something keeps telling me,

Don't do it yet!

Not yet, Not yet, Not yet.

Girl Scouts, they never shut up,

The more that you shush them,

The louder they get.

Someday, I think I shall tape their mouths,

Something keeps telling me,

Don't do it yet!

Not yet, Not yet, Not yet.

Thin Mints, they only come once a year

Buy some and freeze them,

They're not in the stores.

Thin Mints, they're so very tasty

The more that you eat them

The more you want more

And more and more and more.

Brownie Smile Song

I've got something in my pocket

That belongs across my face,

I keep it very close at hand

It's a great big brownie smile!

And killed a friend of mine.

Chorus

The leaders…

But when they take their makeup off,

They look like Frankenstein.

Chorus

First Aiders…

No matter what ails you,

They treat it with iodine.

Chorus

If they don’t fall on you,

They leak all the time.

Charmin' Betsy

Chorus:

She'll be comin' round the mountain, Charmin' Betsy

She'll be comin' round the mountain, Lora Lee;

If I never see you again,

Oh the good Lord remember me.

Yee-haw!

City girls they drive those fancy cars,

Country girls they do the same,

Mountain girls just hike along the trail,

But they get there just the same.

Chorus

City girls they wear those high heeled shoes,

Country girls they do the same,

Mountain girls wear old hiking boots,

But they get there just the same!

Chorus

City girls they use those flush toilets,

Country girls they do the same,

Mountain girls just find a friendly bush,

But they get there just the same!

da Moose!

This is a repeat song!

'Da moose, 'da moose!

Swimmin' in the water.

Eatin' his supper.

Where did he go?

He went to sleep.

Do this same verse as many times as you want in different styles, such as country, football, or ballerina style. The last verse is sad style.

Dead moose, dead moose.

Floatin' in the water.

Not eatin' his supper.

Where did he go?

He decomposed.

He decomposed.

He de-com-posed.

Action

When you say "Da moose", put your hands to your head like antlers. When you say ‘swmmin' in the water", make a swimming motion, etc. When he decomposes, sag and bend your knees.

Dewey

Dewey was the grass in the early morning May

Dewey was an admiral at Manila bay

Dewey were her eyes as she pledged her love to true

Do we love each other?

I should say we do.

Do Your Ears Hang Low

Do your ears hang low;

Do they wobble to and fro?

Can you tie 'em in a knot;

Can you tie 'em in a bow?

Can you throw 'em over your shoulder,

Like a continental soldier?

Do you ears hang low?

Do your ears hang high;

Do they point up to the sky?

Do they wrinkle when they're wet,

Do they straighten when they dry?

Can you signal to your neighbor

With the minimum of labor,

Do your ears hang high?

Action

Start with placing your hands on the side of your head (with your thumbs touching your ears) like a dog with floppy ears. Act out rolling and tying a bow and then salute like a soldier.

For the second verse again start with your thumbs to your ears but this time point your fingers up. When your wrinkle them up curl your fingers and then move them in a waving motion.

Donut Song

Oh I ran around the corner and

I ran around the block and

I ran right into a donut shop

Well I picked up a donut 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 and

It goes right through and

I said there's a hole in the donut too!

Thanks for the donut bye, bye!

Down By the Banks

Down by the banks of the hanky panky

Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky

With an eeps, ahps, ohps, ums,

Leaps off a lily and a kerplop!

Can also be a game where everyone stands in a circle and put both hands out to the sides palm up. Right hand on top of the other person's left hand. You pass a "slap" around as you sing the song. Whomever the song ends on is "out".

Down by the Bay

Chorus:

Down by the bay (repeat)

Where the watermelons grow (repeat)

Back to My home (repeat)

I dare not go (repeat)

For if I did my mother would say

Have you ever ________

Down by the bay?

Fill the blank in with…

Have you ever seen a whale opening his mail

Have you ever seen a frog going for a jog

Have you ever seen a pig wearing a wig

Have you ever seen a llama wearing a pajama

Have you ever had a fox wearing your sox

Have you ever seen a cat wearing a hat

Have you ever seen a deer drinking root beer

Has there ever been a time, you couldn't find a rhyme

Dry Bones

(used as a dismissal song)

Dry bones sittin' in the canyon,

Some of d'em bones are mine,

Dry bones sittin' in the canyon,

Some of d'em bones are mine,

Some of d'em bones are ____ bones,

Some of d'em bones are mine,

Some of d'em bones are ____ bones,

Some of d'em bones are mine.

Duck Rover

I'm an old duck rover from out in Montana

Round up them duckies and drive 'em along

To a flooded corral where we bulldog and brand 'em

Mosey on home just a singin' this song

Chorus

Singin' quack-quack yippe-aay and quack-quack yippe-ooh

Get along little duckies, get along real slow

It's dirty and smelly and really don't pay

But I'll be a duck girl 'til the end of my days.

On Saturday night as I ride into town

On a short legged pony with my hat pulled way down

But the boys don't like duck girls, I can't figure why

No cowgirl could be more romantic than I

Chorus

There's danger, adventure and romance I know

From a waddlin' stampede to a duck rodeo

But there's loneliness too and it cuts to the bone

When you smell like duck feathers you're always alone

Chorus

Yes I’ll be a duck girl till the end of my days
Yeehaw! Quack!

Duck Song

A duck walked up to a lemonade stand

and he said to the man running the stand

Hey. got any grapes?

The man said no we just sell lemonade.

It’s cold and its fresh and it’s all homemade.

Can I sell you glass?

The duck said “I’ll pass”.

Then he waddled away. Waddle Waddle

Till the very next day.

When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand

And he said to the man running the stand

Hey. bum bum bum Got any grapes?

The man said no, like I said yesterday, we just sell lemonade okay?

Why not give it a try?

The duck said Goodbye.

Then he waddled away. Waddle, waddle.

Till the very next day.

When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand

And he said to the man that was running the stand

Hey. Bum bum bum. Got any grapes?

The man said look, this is getting old.

Lemonade’s all we’ve ever sold.

Why not give it a go?

The duck said “No.”

Then he waddled away, waddle, waddle.

Till the very next day.

When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand

And he said to the man that was running the stand

Hey.Bum bum bum. Got any grapes?

The man said THAT’S IT!!

If you don’t stay away,duck,

I’ll glue you to a tree and leave you there all day, stuck.

So don’t get to close!

The duck said Adios.

Then he waddled away, waddle waddle waddle.

Till the very next day.

When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand

And he said to the man that was running the stand

Hey. You got any glue?

What?

You got any glue?

No, why would I– Oh!

Then one more question for you:

Got any grapes?

And the man just stopped.

Then he started to smile.

Then he started to laugh.

He laughed for a while.

Then he said, “Come on duck, let’s walk to the store.

I’ll buy you some grapes so you won’t have to ask anymore.”

So they walked to the store and the man bought some grapes.

He offered one to the duck and the duck said “No thanks”.

“But you know what sounds good?

It would make my day.

Do you think this store, do you think this store, do you think this store…

has any… lemonade?”

Then he waddled away, waddle waddle waddle.

Geoduck

(pronounced “gooey duck”)

For I get a buck a duck if I dig a duck a day,

So I gotta dig a duck, gotta dig a duck a day.

Chorus:

Dig a duck, dig a geoduck, dig a duck a day.

Dig a duck, dig a duck, dig a geoduck,

Dig a duck, dig a geoduck, dig a duck a day.

Well it takes a lot a luck and a certain kind of pluck

Just to dig around the muck just to get a geoduck.

For he hasn’t got a front, and he hasn’t got a back,

And he doesn’t know Donald and he doesn’t go QUACK!

Chorus

Glad to Have a Friend Like You

Bill told Jill that it was lots of fun to cook.

Jill told Bill that she could bait a real fish hook.

So they made ooey-gooey chocolate cake

Sticky-licky sugar top and they goobled and giggled.

And they sat by the river and they fished in the water

and they talked as a squirmy wormy wiggled.

Chorus:

Singin',

glad to have a friend like you

Fair and fun and skippin' and free

Glad to have a friend like you

And glad to just be me

Peg told Greg she liked to make things out of chairs

Greg told Peg sometimes he still hugged teddy bears

So they sneaked in the living room and piled all the pillows up

And made it a rocket ship to fly in

And the bears were their girls and boys

And they were the astronauts

Who lived on the moon with one pet lion.

Chorus

Pearl told Earl that they could do a secret code.

Earl told Pearl there was free ice-cream when it snowed.

So they sent funny letters that contained myst'ry messages

And nobody knew just how they made it.

And they raised up the window

And they scooped all the snow together,

Put milk and sugar in and ate it.

Chorus

Hippo Smile Song

What can make a hippopotamus smile?

What can make him walk for more than a mile?

It's not a party with paper hats

Or cake and candy that make him fat

That's not what hippos do.

They ooze in the gooze without any shoes

They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue.

That's what makes a hippopotamus smile.

What can make a hippopotamus smile?

What can make him walk for more than mile?

It's not a tune on the 'ol violin

Or listening to the whistling wind.

That's not what hippos do.

They ooze in the gooze without any shoes

They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue.

That's what makes a hippopotamus,

That's what makes a hippopotamus,

That's what makes a hippopotamus smile.

Come join my happy song

Chorus

I wave my hat to all I meet

And they wave back at me

And blackbirds call so loud and clear

From every greenwood tree

Chorus

Oh, may I go a-wandering

Until the day I die

And may I always laugh and sing

Beneath God's clear blue sky.

And I wished someone would come over and play

I heard a knock, knock and I opened the door,

And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!

As big as a house, twenty time and a half

And 50 miles taller than any giraffe

Legs long as sequoia trees

Teeth big as piano keys

Me and my dinosaur.

And he said he'd give me a ride piggy back.

I started to crawl from his tail to his cheek,

And without stopping once took a year and a week!

Went leapfrogging over the coconut trees.

And when we got thirstier, mile after mile.

He took one big gulp and he drank up the Nile!

Sing me a rainbow, paint me a dream.

Show me a world that I've never seen.

Whisper a sunset and when you do,

You'll know how I feel

I say you'll know how I feel,

You'll know how I feel when I'm with you.

You walked in my life on such an ordinary day.

But it's been extraordinary since you've come my way.

There's nothing in this world that I can't do,

As long as you continue you to...

Chorus

Feelings that you turned me onto I just can't explain.

Three Bears

Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme

t-cha, t-cha, t-cha

They all went a-walkin' in the woods and a-talkin'

And along came a little girl with long, flowin' curly hair

Her name was Goldie Locks and up upon the door she knocked

She didn't care that no one was there

SHE WALKED RIGHT IN

Home came those three bears

"Someone's been eatin' my porridge!"

"Someone's been eatin' my porridge!"

Said the Papa Bear, said the Papa Bear

"Hey pop-a-re-bear," said the lil' wee bear,

Toast

Everywhere I go from coast to coast,

People always ask me what I like most.

I don’t want to brag,

I don’t want to boast,

I just say, I like toast.

Yeah, toast.

Make toast.

There’s no secret to toast perfection,

There’s a dial on the side, make a selection.

Light or dark, crispy or brown,

If it comes up to early, you can push it back down.

Yeah toast.

Make toast.

Word, to your butter.

And now you are so red and flat

You didn't see the coming car

And now you are part of the tar

Chorus

You used to eat a fly or two,

But now the flies are eating you.

You jumped onto the yellow line,

And now you are a glob of slime.

You Are My Sunshine (R)

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

Second Verse Option 1 (not happy):

The other night dear, when I was sleeping

I dreamt I held you in my arms

When I awoke dear, I was mistaken

So I hung my head and cried.

Second Verse Option 2 (happy):

You are my everlasting baby, you are my everything

You make me oh, so very happy when skies are grey and by the way,

You'll never know how much I love you, how much I miss you when you're gone

So please don't take, don't take my sunshine away

Quieter Songs

Aloha

Aloha my friend

Around the campfire on land or at sea

Girl Scouts together we'll always be

And though we may part

You're friendship will live in my heart

May God go with you to guide your way

Aloha my friend.

Barges

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 they go silently.

Chorus:

Barges, I would like to go with you

I would like to sail the ocean blue.

Barges, have you treasure in your hold

Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

Out of my window looking in the night

I can see the barge's flickering light.

Starboard shines green and port is glowing red

You can see them flickering far ahead.

Chorus

How my heart longs to sail away with you

As you sail across the ocean blue.

But I must stay beside my window drear

As I watch you sail away from here.

Chorus

Out of my window looking from my bed

I can see the barges far ahead.

Taking their cargo far across the sea

Oh I wish that someday they'd take me.

Bring Me a Rose

Bring me a rose in the winter time,

When it's hard to find.

Bring me a rose in the winter time,

I've got roses on my mind.

For a rose is sweet most anytime and yet,

Bring me a rose in the winter time

Oh how easy we forget.

(repeat above replacing underlined words with these:)

Bring me a smile when I'm all alone,

I've got smilin' on my mind.

Bring me a friend when I'm far from home.

I've got friendship on my mind.

Butano Song

Friendly gathering place

Starlit skies above

Redwood covered hills

Outdoors that I love

Butano, you're for me

Girl Scout paradise

Here we're truly free

Tonight.

Wind in whispering woods

Seagulls soaring high.

Wooden cabins rise

Against a deep blue sky.

Butano, you're for me

Girl Scout paradise.

Here we're truly free

Tonight.

Campfire's Burning

Campfire's burning,

Campfire's burning,

Draw nearer

Draw nearer

Circle Game

Yesterday a child came out to wander

Caught a dragonfly inside a jar

Fearful when the sky was full of thunder

And tearful at the falling of a star

Chorus:

And the seasons, they go round and round

And the painted ponies go up and down

We are captive on the carousel of time

We can't go back, we can only look behind from where we came

And go round and round and round in the circle game

Now the boy's gone ten times round the seasons

Skated over ten clear frozen streams

Words like when your older must appease him

And promises of someday make his dreams

Chorus

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now

Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town

And they tell him take your time it won't be long now

Before you drag your feet to slow the circle down

Chorus

Years go by and now the boy is twenty

Dreams have lost their grandeur of coming true

But there'll be new dreams maybe better dreams of plenty

Before the last revolving here is through

Chorus

Come Light up the Fire (R)

Come, come, light up the fire

Come, come, join in the ring,

Here find dreams to inspire

Stories to tell

Music to sing

Come and Go

Come and go with me today,

We shall sail across the bay,

Come and go with me today,

We shall sail across the bay.

(For dismissal song...after "bay" head would shout out a name of a unit)

Dreams

May all of your dreams bloom like daisies in the sun,

May you always have stars in your eyes,

May you not stop running, not until your race is run,

And may you always have blue skies.

(there are verses to this song, but I don't know them)

Eagle

(repeat song)

Have you all seen the eagle?

All seen the eagle?

Flying so high?

Flying so high?

Circling the universe.

Circling the universe.

On wings of pure light.

On wings of pure light.

Flame of Friendship (R)

The flame of friendship

Is like a fire

It rises higher

As time goes by.

The flame of friendship

Is like and ember

It glows within us

And does not die.

Flicker

Flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.

The moon in the heavens, the stars that shine.

A place where people gather making friends of all kinds.

A place where Old Man Troubles is always left behind.

So give me the light of the campfire warm and bright.

And give me some friends to sing with, I’ll be here all night.

For love is for those who find it and I’ve found it and I’ve found mine right here.

Just you and I and the campfire and the songs we love to hear.

Da Da Daaa Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

So let the light of the campfire into your night.

And let the dreams that we cherish remain in its light.

For love is for those who find it, I found mine right here.

Just you and I and the campfire and the songs we love to hear.

Friends are Nothing

Friends are nothing 'til they

Laugh together

They must laugh all day

They must laugh the night away

They must laugh, together, they must laugh.

(Sing again replacing the underlined word with each of the following to make a new verse)

Sing

Camp

(Final verse)

Friends are nothing 'til they

Part with tear drops in their eyes

As they go their separate ways

And they hope to meet again someday.

Friendship Is

Friendship is a shining thing,

A steady beam of light,

A lantern on a lonely street,

A song far through the night,

The smile and the touch of a loving hand,

A quiet moment on a hill,

And oh, what a happy little child, bringing home a daffodil.

Friendship is a binding tie

Of one soul to another

A gentle soft relationship

As children to father and mother

Raindrops sparkling on an autumn leaf,

A quiet moment on a hill

And oh, what a happy little child, bringing home a daffodil.

Friendship is a happy thought

A warmness in your heart

Friends are those who understand

And friends will never part.

For two people very much in love,

In a life that's never still.

And oh, what a happy little child, bringing home a daffodil.

Girl Scouts Together

Girl Scouts together, that is our song.

Winding the old trails rocky and long.

Learning our motto, living our creed.

Girl Scouts together in every good deed.

Girl Scouts together happy are we,

Friendly to neighbors, far oe'r the sea.

Faithful to country, loyal to home.

Known as true Girl Scouts wherever we roam.

Good Night Mr. Sun

(Works as a dismissal song replacing “Mr. Sun” with the unit you are dismissing)

Goodnight Mr. Sun it’s time to go to your bed.

The moon is shining over your head.

And like a silver balloon it floats above the stars.

The Hills (R)

The hills and their glorious heights,

Surround us by day and by night.

Sing praise to the hills.

I Love the Mountains (aka Boom De Ah Da)

I love the mountains,

I love the rolling hills,

I love the flowers,

I love the daffodils,

I love the firesides

When all the lights are low.

Boom de ah da,

Boom de ah da,

Boom de ah da,

Boom de ah da.

I'm On My Way

(repeat song)

I'm on my way,

And I won't turn back,

I'm on my way,

And I won't turn back,

I'm on my way,

Great God I'm on my way.

I asked my sister,

To come along,

I asked my sister,

To come along,

I'm on my way,

Great God I'm on my way.

If she won't come,

I'll go alone....

I asked my brother,

To pray for me...

I Think You're Wonderful

Chorus:

I think you're wonderful

When somebody says that to me,

I feel wonderful

As wonderful can be.

It makes me want to say,

The same thing to somebody new.

And by the way I've been meaning to say

I think you're wonderful too!

When each one of us feels important inside,

Loving and giving and glad we're alive.

Oh what a difference we're making each day,

And all because someone decided to say...

Chorus

When we practice this phrase in the most honest way,

We find something special in someone each day.

We lift up the world one heart at a time,

And it all starts by saying this one simple line....

Chorus

And by the way I’ve been meaning to say

I think you’re wonderful too!

Like a Ship in the Harbor

Like a ship in the harbor

Like a mother and child

Like a light in the darkness

I'll hold you awhile.

We'll rock on the water.

I'll cradle you dear.

And hold you while angels

Sing you to sleep.

Linger

mmmMMM I'd like to linger,

mmmMMM a little longer,

mmmMMM a little longer here with you.

mmmMMM it just the perfect night

mmmMMM it doesn't seem quite right

mmmMMM that it should be my last with you.

mmmMMM but come September

mmmMMM we'll all remember

mmmMMM our camping days and friendships true.

Magic

When I was young, I thought the stars were made for wishing on.

And every hole deep in a tree must hide a leprechaun.

Old houses all had secret rooms if one could find the door.

But who believes in magic anymore.

Chorus:

Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain.

Magic keeps a dream alive to try and try again.

Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave.

I do believe in magic, I believe.

When I grew up the grownups said someday I’d wake and find.

That magic is a childish game I’d have to leave behind.

Like clothes that would no longer fit or toys that I ignore.

I’d not believe in magic anymore.

Chorus

Although my childhood’s far behind I’ve learned to my surprise.

That magic did not fade away it wears a new disguise.

A child, a friend, a smile, a song, the courage to stand tall,

And love’s the greatest magic of them all.

Chorus

Music Alone Shall Live (R)

All things shall perish from under the sky,

Music alone shall live,

Music alone shall live,

Music alone shall live,

Never to die.

Sing when you're sorrowful

Sing when you're gay

Sing with the rising sun

Sing when the day is done

Singing is having fun

Sing everyone.

Oh, How Lovely Is The Evening (R)

Oh, how lovely is the evening

Is the evening

When the bells are sweetly ringing

Sweetly ringing

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.

On My Honor

Chorus:

On my honor I will try

There's a duty to be done and I say aye

There's a reason here for the reason above

My honor is to try and my duty is to love

People don't need to know my name

If I've done any harm then I'm to blame

If I've helped someone then I've helped me

And I opened up my eyes to see.

I've tucked away a song or two

If you're feeling low there's one for you

If you need a friend then I will come

And there's plenty more where I come from.

Chorus

Come with me where a fire burns bright

We can ever see better by candle light

And we'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow

Then we'll ever learn in a year or so.

We've made a promise to always keep

As night softly falls before we sleep

We're Girl Scouts together and when we're done

We'll still be together and sing this song.

Chorus

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 left to see.

I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose.

Have you ever seen a sunrise

Turn the sky completely red?

Have you sat beneath the moon and stars,

A pine bough for your bed?

Have you sat and talked with friends

Though a word was never said?

Then you're just like me, and you've been on the loose.

Chorus

There's a trail that I'll be hiking

Just to see where it may go.

Many place yet to visit

Many people yet to know.

For in following my dreams,

I will live and I will grow.

On a trail that's waiting out there on the loose.

Chorus

For in search of love and laughter

I am traveling 'cross this land.

Never sure of where I'm going,

For I haven't any plan

And in time when you are ready

Come and join me, take my hand.

And together we'll share life out on the loose.

Chorus

In this world that I am traveling,

I will think of you this way,

Remembering your smile,

For it seems like yesterday,

That we sat beneath the stars,

And dreamed about today,

We've come together and we are on the loose.

Chorus

As I sit and watch the sunset and the daylight softly fades,

I am thinking of tomorrow and the friendships we have made.

I will value them for always and I hope you'll do the same,

And forever we'll explore life out on the loose.

Chorus

Now the moon is softly glowing and the stars are twinkling bright

Our laughter and our friendship have cleared this cloudy night

Come and join our flickering campfire, come and sing our happy songs

And together we'll share life out on the loose.

Chorus

One Day

(repeat song)

One day,

Walking in the sun,

We laughed,

Friendship had begun.

Same day,

Talking in the sun,

Two hearts,

Becoming one.

Two together,

Two alone,

Love each other,

Find their way home.

One day,

Forever long,

Build a bond,

Forever strong.

One Tin Soldier

Listen, children, to a story

That was written long ago,

'Bout a kingdom on a mountain

And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure

Buried deep beneath the stone,

And the valley-people swore

They'd have it for their very own.

Chorus:

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,

Go ahead and cheat a friend.

Do it in the name of Heaven,

You can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgment day,

On the bloody morning after....

One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley

Sent a message up the hill,

Asking for the buried treasure,

Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,

"With our brothers we will share

All the secrets of our mountain,

All the riches buried there."

Chorus

Now the valley cried with anger,

"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"

And they killed the mountain-people,

So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,

On the mountain, dark and red.

Turned the stone and looked beneath it...

"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Chorus

Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows

And what's on the other side?

Rainbow are visions, but only illusions,

Rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it.

I know their wrong, wait and see...

Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection

The lovers the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard

and answered when wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.

Look what it's done so far.

What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing

and what do we think we might see?

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.

The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?

I've heard them calling my name.

Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.

The voice might be one and the same.

I've heard it too many times to ignore it.

It's something that I'm supposed to be.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.

The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Reason

There's a reason for every beginning

A reason for every ending

A reason for every meeting

And a reason for every friend.

Time makes no difference,

Whether a year or a minute

Because...time makes no difference,

I'm glad we're all here.

Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose

Will I ever see thee wed?

Sire, at thy will.

Ding, dong, ding dong,

Wedding bells on an April morn,

Carve your name on a moss covered stone

On a moss covered stone.

Ah, poor bird,

Take they flight,

High above the sorrow

Of this sad night.

Hey, ho nobody home,

Meat nor drink nor money have I none

Still I will be very merry,

Hey, ho nobody home.

I won't be my father's Jack,

I won't be my father's Jill,

I will be a fiddler's wife,

And fiddle when I will.

Say When?

Say when, will we ever meet again,

say when, will we ever meet again,

say when, will we ever meet again,

Say when, my friend, say when.

Say where, and I'll be right there,

say where, and I'll be right there,

say where, and I'll be right there,

Say where, my friend, say where.

Say why, do we have to say goodbye,

say why, do we have to say goodbye,

say why, do we have to say goodbye,

say why, my friend, say why.

Say when, will we ever meet again,

say where, and I'll be right there,

say why, do we have to say goodbye,

Say when, say where, say why.

I’ll remember you if you’ll remember me.

Sister don’t forget, don’t you forget me.

Sparky’s Song

Oh the time has passed so quickly and it seems like yesterday

Traveled far away from home to where I am today

Thought that I was destined to be lost and all alone

'Til I came among these people who made me feel at home.

Chorus:

And I, want to tell you just how much I love you and

Tell you all the things that you should know like,

Thank you for just being here and giving of your time

And giving me the space I need to grow.

Well I felt at once a kinship, with my friends here by my side

Felt I was accepted and I had no need to hide

Knew that I could handle what the world would send my way

Though some times were more challenging I'd never change a day.

Chorus

Well our story isn't over though we have to turn the page

Take up where our paths left off and go our separate ways

But a lifetime's worth of memories have been found in these few days

If we never meet again I know I'll have to say…

Chorus

Suitors

There are suitors at my door

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Six or eight or even more

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

And my father wants me wed

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Or at least that's what he said.

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Chorus:

Oh lay oh la

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Oh lay oh la

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

So I told him that I will

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

When the rivers run uphill

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Or when fish begin to fly

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Or the day before I die.

Chorus

Irrigation runs uphill

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Doesn't that give you a thrill?

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Flying fish can really fly

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

And tomorrow I may die.

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Chorus

Now I have my own true love

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Sailing o'er the deep blue sea

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

And when he returns to me

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Then married we will be.

Oh alay-oh-pac-ee-ah

Chorus

Taps (solemn version)

Day is done, gone the sun,

From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky.

All is well, safely rest,

God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight,

As the star gems the sky, gleaming bright.

From afar, drawing nigh,

Falls the night.

Sun has set, shadows come,

Time has fled scouts must go to their beds.

Always true, to the promise

That they made.

Thanks and praise, for our days

'neath the sun, 'neath the moon, 'neath the sky

As we go, this we know,

God is nigh.

This Pretty Planet (R)

This pretty planet, spinning through space

Your gardens, your harbors, your holy place

Golden sun going down

Gentle blue giant spin us around

All through the night

Safe 'til the morning light

Today

Chorus:

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vines,

I'll taste your strawberries,

I'll drink your sweet wine.

A million tomorrows will all pass away,

'ere I forget all the joys that were mine today.

I'll be a dandy and I'll be rover

You'll know who I am by the song that I sing.

I'll feast at your table

I'll sleep in your clover

Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Chorus

I can't be contented with yesterday's glories

I can't live on promises winter to spring

Today is my moment and now is my story

I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.

Chorus

I'm just as restless as wind blowing westward

I can't stay in any one place for too long.

I'll love you today, but I'll leave you tomorrow,

By morning you'll know I'll be gone.

Chorus

We Come From the Mountains

We come from the mountains,

All of us the mountains,

Go back to the mountains,

And turn your world around.

We come from the mountains,

Go back to the mountains

And turn your world around.

(Change "mountains" to other names to use it as a dismissal song or use these:)

Wearing My Long-Winged Feathers (R)

Chorus:

Wearing my long winged feathers as I fly

Wearing my long winged feathers as I fly

I circle around

I circle around ...

The boundaries of the earth

The boundaries of the sky

Chorus

The valleys of the earth,

The planet of my birth.

Weave

Weave, weave, weave us together,

Weave us together in friendship and love.

Whenever You Make a Promise

Whenever you make a promise,

Consider well its importance,

And when made,

Engrave it upon your heart.

White Coral Bells (R)

White coral bells upon a slender stalk

Lilies of the valley line my garden walk.

Oh don't you wish that you could hear them ring?

That will happen only when the fairies sing.

Who Can Sail?

Who can sail where there is no wind

With no oars to be rowing?

Who can sail far away from a friend

With no tears a flowing?

I can sail where there is no wind,

With no oars to be rowing.

But I can't sail far away from a friend

With no tears a flowing.
