Ohhhhhhh, the Lord’s been good to me,
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
The sun, the rain, and the apple seed
The Lord’s been good to me.

I’ve been bummed,
And I’ve been bald;
I’ve felt shunned,
And I’ve felt small;
Cancer sucks,
Everybody knows;
There’s a remedy and it goes

The Announcement Song
As the Br ight Flames (Campfir e Song)
(Sung anytime someone says the word “announcement”)
Announcements, announcements, an-noun-cements
As the bright flames ascend to Heaven
Oh God of love and truth
We would in thought with thee commune
In love, and joy, and youth.
I sold my cow--moo
I sold my cow--moo
I’ve got no use
For your bull now
The cheese stands alone
The cheese stands alone
High ho the dairy oh
The cheese stands alone
What a terrible way to die
What a terrible way to die
What a terrible way to be talked to death
What a terrible way to die
The hills resound with our glad song
And echo back to thee
Our thanks received
For work, and health, and love, and loyalty.
(Second time through: hum the first verse and sing the second
verse)
Omaha Tr ibal Benediction
Announcements, announcements, an-noun-cements

Boy are we enthusiastic, H-A-P-P-Y
Whoo, I feel fine
Mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty fine
Uoh, swish, slam dunk,
Two points
Caaaamp Fantastic!
Which, when translated, means:
“Father, a needy one stands before Thee.
I, that sing, am he/she.”

If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands
Five in the Bed
Five in the bed and the little one said
“Roll over, roll over”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
Went SPLAT on the floor
With his guts hanging out
Please remember to tie a knot in your pajamas
Single beds are only made for
1-2-3 four in the bed and the little one said….(continue until)
One in the bed and the little one said
“I’ve got the whole bed to myself
I’ve got the whole bed to myself
I’ve got the whole bed to myself.”
2) Stomp your feet
3) Shout How How
4) Do all four

Swimming in the swimming pool
When days are hot when days are cold
In the swimming pool
Breaststroke, sidestroke, and fancy diving too
Wouldn’t it be nice to have nothing else to do but…

Canoe Round
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra
Happy your life must be.
My paddle’s keen and bright

Dip, dip, and swing.
Dip, dip and swing her back
Flashing with silver
Swift as the wild goose flies
Dip, dip and swing.

I’m a rolling, rolling, rolling stone
And I’m rolling back to you.
Then you take the sandwich and you eat it you eat it.
Fr iends I Will Remember You
Some folks say that a rolling stone never does arrive
But I don’t care if I’m a rolling stone
I’m glad to be alive.
Friends I will remember you
Think of you and pray for you
And when another day is through
I’ll still be friends with you.

So keep laughing ‘til we meet again
When I Fir st Came To This Land
Let there always be some love, love to give away
Let there always be some love, love to give away
When you love you say life is good today
So keep loving ‘til we meet again
When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I bought myself a farm* and I did what I could
And I called my farm* muscle and arm**
And the land was sweet and good and I did what I could.

There’s where I first said I loved her
That’s where she said she loved me
Down in the old cherry orchard
Under the old cherry tree.
Let there always be a smile for everyone to see

When you smile you say, life is good today
So keep smiling ‘til we meet again

Slept in the kitchen with her feet in the hall.

Stay on the Sunny Side
Cowboy J oe
Stay on the sunny side
Always on the sunny side
Stay on the sunny side of life, of life
It will cause you no pain
But will drive you insane
So stay on the sunny side of life
(Repeat after each joke)
Way out West where the bad guys are
And the only thing to guide them is the evening star
There’s the roughest toughest man by far
And his name is Cowboy Joe
He always sings ragged music to his cattle
As he swings back and forth on the saddle of his horse
A pretty good horse
It’s a syncopated gaiter and it’s sucj a pretty meter to the roar
of his repeater
Watch’em run
When they hear the fellow comin;
Cause the Western folks all know
He’s a rootin’ tootin’ high filutin’ son of a gun from Valifornia
Talk about your cowboy talk about your cowboy
Talk about your RAG TIME COYBOY JOE

The roaches and the bedbugs were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20 the roaches were ahead
The bedbugs hit a homerun and knocked me outta bed

Eenie meenie meenie miney mo

Singing…Hey boys row them get boys row them

An Austrian went yodeling on a mountain top high
When alone came an avalanche* and interrupted his cry
It was midnight in the alley not a trolley car in sight
I stepped into the drugstore to get myself a bite
The man behind the counter was a lady old and gray
Who used to peddle shoestrings on the road to Motalay.

When you sat on a rail and the rail gave away
Da-na-na-da-da. Some fish!

The Pr incess Pat
A rig a bamboo.
Verse 1
Verse 3
The Princess Pat
Lived in a tree
She sailed across
The seven seas
She sailed across
The channel, too
And she took with her
A rig a bamboo
Now Princess Pat
Saw Captain Jack
She reeled him in
And brought him back
She saved his life
And his crew too
Do you know how?
With a rig a bamboo.
Ar ise and Shine
Chorus
A rig a 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 a bamboo.
The Lord said to Noah, “ There’s gonna be a floody, floody”
The Lord said to Noah, “ There’s gonna be a floody, floody”
“Get those animals out of the muddy, muddy, muddy,”
Children of the lord.
Chorus: Arise and shine and give God the glory, glory. Arise
and shine and give God the glory, glory. Arise and
shine and give God the glory, glory, children of the
Lord.
Noah he built him, he built him an arky, arky
Built it out of hickory barky, barky
The animals they came on, they came on by twosies, twosies
Elephants and kangaroozies, roozies
It rained for forty daysies, daysies Nearly drove those animals
crazy, crazy
The sun came out and dried up the landy, landy
Everything was fine and dandy, dandy
Verse 2
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The channel too
His ship did sink
And yours will too
If you don't take

Boom Boom Ain’t It Gr eat
Chocolate Cookies
Chorus: Boom, boom ain’t it great to be crazy
Boom, boom ain’t it great to be crazy
Silly and foolish all day long
Boom, boom ain’t it great to be crazy!
Chocolate cookies, chocolate cookies, chocolate cookies,
yum,yum,yum
Chocolate cookies, chocolate cookies, chocolate cookies,
yum,yum,yum
An Orea, a chocolate Oreo, I love the creamy filling of a
chocolate Oreo.
Romano and Julie on the balcony they sat
Scram said Julie I’ve got a date
Shakespeare comin’ in his Ford V-8
Down By the Old Mill Str eam
Way down south where bananas grow
An ant stepped on an elephant’s toe
The elephant cried with tears in his eyes and said
Why don’t you pick on someone your own size
Down by the old mill stream
Where I first met you
With your eyes of blue
Dressed in gingham too
It was there I knew
That you loved me true
You were sixteen my village queen
Down by the old mill stream
Br ightly Beams
Brightly beams, our Father’s mercy
From His light house evermore.
But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.
Down by the old, not the new, but the old mill stream, not a
river, but a stream.
Where I first, not the second, but the first met you, not me,but
you.
With your eyes, not your hair, but your eyes so blue, not green,
but blue.
Dressed in gingham, not silk, but gingham too, not one, but
two.
It was there, not here, but there I knew, not old, but new.
That you loved, not hated, but loved me true, not false, but true
You were sixteen, not sixty, but sixteen, my village queen, not
the king, but the queen.
Down by the old, not the new, but the old mill stream.
Let the lower lights be burning
Send a gleam across the way.
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save.

Dummy Line
Each Campfir e Lights Anew
Well I got on the Dummy
And I didn’t have the fare
The conductor said, “Watcha doing there?”
He grabbed me by the collar and he shoved out the door
Said, “I don’t wanna see you on the Dummy any more.
Each campfire lights anew
The flames of friendships true
The joy we have in knowing you
Will last our whole life through.
And as the embers die away
We wish that we might always stay
But since we cannot have our way
We’ll come again some other day
Chorus: On the Dummy Line, Dummy Line,
Rain or shine I’ll pay my fine.
Rain or shine I’ll pay my fine.
Cause I’m ridin’, ridin’, ridin’
On the Dummy, Dummy Line
Fr iends We Ar e
Friends we are
And friends we’ll always be
Where ere we go
We’ll follow faithfully
4-H Friends we’ll always be
Till the end of time
There was a boy comin’ home from school
He spied a half-a-dollar at the foot of a mule
He stooped to pick it up as quiet as a mouse
There was a funeral next day at the little boys house.
There was a woman who lived in the ville
She had a face like a lemon peel
She had a wart on the end of her chin
She called it a dimple, but a dimple turns in.
Hey Nichola Mishuwakay
Hey Nichola Mishuwaky,
Hey Nichola Mishuwaky,
Hey Nichola Mishuwaky,
Auky-taky-umba
Auky-taky-umba
Hey little hi little ho little hum.
There was a boy who lived on a farm
He tried to milk a cow but he meant no harm
The cow kicked him right off of the bench
Cause he tried to milk the cow with a monkey wrench.

The Happy Wander
I’m Looking Over my Dead Dog Rover
I’m looking over my dead dog Rover
Who I overran with the mower
One leg is missing, the other is gone
One leg is scattered all over the lawn
There’s no need explaining
The one remaining is hanging by the kitchen door
Oh, I’m looking over my dead dog Rover
Who I overran with the mower.
I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain track
And as I go I love to sing
My knapsack on my back.
Chorus: Val-la-re Val-la-ra
Val-la-re Val-la-ra-ha-ha-ha-haHa-ha
Val-la-re Val-la-ra
My knapsack on my back.
(repeat verse with the following ending)
Oh, I’m looking over my dead dog Rover
Who I overlooked, for grass I mistook
Who I overran with the mower
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun
So joyously it calls to me
Come join my happy song.
Second Stor y Window
I wave my hat to all I meet
And they wave back to me
And black birds call so loud and sweet
From ev’ry green good tree.
The window, the window, the second story window.
If you can’t make a rhyme and sing it on time.
Then through it out the window.
High over head the sky larks wing
They never rest at home
Just like me they love to sing
As o’er the world we roam
(sing your favorite Nursery Rhyme like this)
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the
candlestick and through it out the window.
Humptie Dumptie sat on the wall. Humptie Dumptie had a
great fall. All the King’s horses and all the king’s men through
him out the window.

Leg Fr om Some Ol’ Table
Pass It On
You take a leg from some old table
You take an arm from some old chair
You take a neck from some old bottle
And from a horse you take some, you take some hair
And then you put them all together
With some paste and a little bit of glue
And I’ll get more loving from that gosh durn dummy than I’d
ever get from you.
It only takes a spark to get a fire going
And soon all those around can warm up to its glowing
That’s how it is with God’s love
Once you’ve experienced it
You spread His love to everyone
You want to pass it on.
What a wondrous time is spring
When all the trees are budding
The birds begin to sing
The flower start their blooming
That’s how it is with God’s love
Once you’ve experienced it
You want to sing
It’s fresh like spring
You want to pass it on.
Little Rabbit Foo Foo
Little Rabbit Foo Foo
Hoping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and smashing them on the head
Down came the good fairy and she said,
“Little Rabbit Foo Foo I don’t want to see you picking up the
field mice and smashing them on the head.
*I’ll give you three chances and if you don’t stop picking up
the field mice and smashing them on the head I’ll turn you into
a BIG HARRY GOON!!!
I wish for you my friend
This happiness that I have found
You can depend on Him
It matters not where you’re bound
I’ll shout it from the mountain top
I want my world to know
The Lord of love has come to me
I want to pass it on.
So the next day…(follow pattern of first verse two, then on
chance.)
The moral of this story is: Hare Today Goon Tomorrow

Shady Gr ove
Tell Me Why
Chorus: Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darling
Shady Grove my little love
I’m going back to Ireland
Tell me why the stars do shine
Tell me why the ivy twines
Tell me why the ocean’s blue
And I will tell you just why I love you/
Because God made the stars to shine
Because God made the ivy twine
Because God made the ocean blue
Because God made you, that’s why I love you.
The first time I saw Shady Grove,
She was standin’ at the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor.
I do believe that God above
Created you for me to love
He picked you out from all the rest
Because God made you, that’s why I love you.
Cheeks as red as rose in spring
Eyes of deepest brown
You’re the darling of my life
Stay till the sun goes down.
Ther e’s a Blue Sky
I wish I had a big white horse
And corn to feed him on
All I’d need was my Shady Grove
To feed him when I’m gone.
There’s a blue sky way up yonder
There’s a blue sky over my head
There’s a blue way up yonder
That’s a cover for my bed
And wherever I wander
And wherever I roam
There’s a blue sky way up yonder
That is calling me home.
Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove my little love
I’ll marry you some day.

I’m Going Lion Hunting
Today
I’m going lion hunting
I am not afraid!
I’ve got my trusty gun
And my bullets by my side.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
What do I see? What do I see?
I see a big lake. I see a big lake.
Can’t get around it. Can’t get around it.
Gotta swim through it. C’mon guys, let’s swim!
Phew!
I see
2. tall trees
3. tall grass
4. a bridge
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
What do I see? What do I see?
I see a big, black cave. I see a big, black cave.
Oh boy, it’s so dark, I can’t see a thing in here! I’m going to
light a match.
Aaahhh!!
Chorus: Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries; I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine Today.
I’ll be dandy and I’ll be a rover
You’ll know who I am by the song that I sing
I’ll feast at your table I’ll sleep in you clover
Who cares what tomorrow will bring.
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.
Vive L’amour
Let every good fellow now join in a song
Vive la compagnie
Success to each other and pass it along
Vive la compagnie
Chorus: Vive la, vive la, vive L’amour
Vive la, vive la, vive L’amour
Vive l’amour, vive l’amour
Vive la compagnie
Now wider and wider our circle expands…
