Bug Juice
Tune: On Top of Old Smokey
At the camp with the Boy/Girl Scouts,
They gave us a drink.
We thought it was kool-aid,
because it was pink.
But the thing that they told us,
would've grossed out a moose,
For that great tasting pink drink,
was really bug juice.
It looked fresh and fruity,
like tasty kool-aids,
But the bugs that were in it,
were murdered with Raid.
We drank it by gallons,
we drank it by tons,
And the next morning,
we all had the runs.
So the next time you drink bug juice,
and a fly drives you mad,
He's just getting even,
'Cause you swallowed his Dad'.
Brownie Smile Song
I've got something in my pocket, it belongs across my face.
I keep it very close at hand, in a most convenient place.
I'm sure you couldn't guess it if you guessed a long, long while.
So I'll take it out and put it on, it's a Great Big Brownie Smile!

Can a Girl Scout make a difference,
Change the world and make it listen?
Can a Girl Scout make a difference?
Yes we can!
Can a Girl Scout share and swap?

Daisy Happy Face Song
I've something in my little hand that you just cannot see...

And when I clap my little hands you'll see my HAPPY FACE!!!
Motions:
First line: Cup both hands together, palms together
Second line: Bring cupped hands to chest over heart
Third line: Open hands and cover face with open hands
Fourth line: Clap on the word “clap” then make a motion outward
with
palms up while making a big smile.

And that's a real Girl Scout!

Girl Scout World
Tune: I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing
I'd build a Girl Scout world filled
with love and laughter, too.
Grow Brownies small and Seniors tall,
Cadettes and Juniors too.
I'd like to teach Girl Scouts to sing, in perfect harmony.
I'd like to take them on a hike, and keep them company.
I'd like to see Girl Scouts today,
all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the world
for peace throughout the land.

I Met a Bear
The other day, I met a bear,
A great big bear, Oh way out there.
Chorus:
(Same lines in unison)
He looked at me, I looked at him,
He sized up me, I sized up him.
He said to me, "Why don't you run?
I see you ain't, Got any gun."
I says to him, "That's a good idea."
"Now legs get going, get me out of here!"
And so I ran, Away from there,
But right behind me, Was that bear.
In front of me, There was a tree,
A great big tree, Oh glory be!
The lowest branch, Was ten feet up,
So I thought I'd jump, And trust my luck.
7
And so I jumped, Into the air,
But I missed that branch, A way up there.
Now don't you fret, And don't you frown,
I Caught that branch, On the way back down!
This is the end, There aint no more,
Unless I see, That bear once more.

Was stuck inside (echo)

The littlest worm I ever saw, was curled up in my soda straw.
He said to me

I surly slip
He said to me don't take a sip, for if you do I surely slip.
I took a sip
and he went down

have downed.

end
That is the end
there is no more
until I meet

Pink Pajamas (Battle Hymn of the Republic)
I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot.
I wear my flannel nighties in the winter when it's not.
And sometimes in the springtime and sometimes in the fall,
I jump right in between the sheets with nothing on at all.
Chorus:
Glory, glory, Hallelujah;
Glory, glory, What's it to you?
Balmy breezes blowing through ya,
With nothing on at all.
10
I wake up in the morning with the sheet above my head,
and my little footsie-wotisy are a sticken out of bed,
and three times out of four I find myself upon the floor,
And I'll sware I won't be drinking RC cola any more
Repeat chorus
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.
11
It rolled in 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,
And tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.

Take me out to the scout camp,
Take me out with my Troop,
Buy me some goodies and leathercrafts,
I don't care if I ever get back,
For it's swim, shoot, climb with the camp staff
If they're not trained it's a shame
For it's 1, 2, 3 miles you hike at the old scout camp

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 was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me the endless skyway,
I saw be-low me that golden valley,
This land was made for you and me. [Chorus]
I've roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps
To the spark-ling sands of her diamond deserts,
And all a-round me a voice was sounding,
This land was made for you and me. [Chorus]

DOWN BY THE BANKS OF THE HANKY PANKY
Traditional Words and Tune
Down by the banks of the Hanky Panky
Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky
With an eeps, ipes, opes, opps
One fell in and went kerplops.
Taps
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hill,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.

Make New Friends
Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,
the other is gold.
Silver is precious,
Gold is too.
I am precious,
and so are you.
A circle is round,
it has no end.
That's how long,
I will be your friend.
You help me,
and I'll help you
and together
we will see it through.
A fire burns bright,
it warms the heart.
We've been friends,
from the very start.
The sky is blue
The Earth is green
I can help
to keep it clean
You have one hand,
I have the other.
Put them together,
We have each other.
Across the land
Across the sea
Friends forever
We will always be
