...nod your head...

...stamp your feet...

...shout hello...

WALTZING MATILDA

Once a jolly swagman camped beside a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?

CHORUS
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
And he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

Down came a jumpbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that jumback in his tuckerbag,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

Up came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers - one, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumpbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never take me alive!", said he.
And his ghost may be heard as you pass beside that billabong,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

IT'S A SMALL WORLD

Its a small world after all, [x 3]
Its a small, small world.
It's a world of laughter, a world of tears,
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears.
There's so much that we share, it's time we're aware
It's a small, small world.
There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship for everyone,
Though the oceans are wide, and the mountains divide
It's a small, small world.

SHE'LL BE COMIN' 'ROUND THE MOUNTAIN

She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes. (Whoo, whoo!) [Repeat.]
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain,
blowing steam off like a fountain,
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes.
She'll be driving six white horses, when she comes,
(Whoa, there!) [etc.]
Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes. (Hi babe!)
She'll be wearing silk pajamas when she comes, [Wolf whistle.]
And, we'll wear our bright red woolies when she comes, (Scratch, scratch!)
Oh, we'll kill the old red rooster, (Hack, hack!)
cause he don't crow like he use ter.
Oh, we'll all have chicken and dumplings when she comes, (Yum, yum! / Yuck, yuck!)
Oh, we'll all have indigestion when she comes, (Burp, burp!)

Tommy, the Trustworthy Scout

(tune: Yankee Doodle)

Use this to help teach our Webelos the Scout Law....and have some fun.

Trustworthy Tommy was a Scout,
Loyal to his Mother,
Helpful to the folks about and
Friendly to his brothers.

Courteous to a girl he knew,
Kind unto his rabbits
Obedient to his father, too and
Cheerful in his habit.

Thrifty saving for a need
Brave and not a faker
Clean in word and thought and deed and
Reverent to his Maker.

PINK PAJAMAS

Sung to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic"

I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's
hot
I wear my flannel nightie in the winter when it's
not
And sometimes in the springtime
And sometimes in the fall
I slip between the covers with nothing on at all!

Glory, glory, halleluja,
Glory, glory what's it to ya,
Balmy breezes blowin' though ya
With nothing on at all.

Pink Pajamas
Tune: "Battle Hymn of the Republic"
Midi by Mark R. Weston
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.
 

Alternate verse submitted by Tina Vo:

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.

Granny's in the Cellar

Granny's in the cellar
Lordy can't you smell 'er
Making biscuits on her derned ol' dirty stove
In her eye there is some matter that keeps
dripping in the batter
and she whistles while the (big sniff) runs down
her nose

Down her nose
Down her nose
And she whistles while the (big sniff) runs down
her nose
Hit the bottom
In her eye there is some matter that keeps
dripping in the batter
and she whistles while the (big sniff) runs down
her nose

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 than self the 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!

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

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
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' 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?

On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall 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 was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

Chorus (2x)

God Bless America

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.

Silent Night

Silent night! holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace!

Silent night! holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Saviour is born!

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria...

Chorus:
Gloria, In Excelsius Deo
Shepherd why this jubilee,
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Come to Bethlehem and see,
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord the newborn king.
See him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love,

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

Chorus:
OH…Jingle bells, Jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, OH…
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.

A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.

Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack! You'll take the lead.

Frosty the Snow Man

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.
O, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.

Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, 'Let's run and we'll have some fun now before I melt away.'
Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all around the square saying, 'Catch me if you can.'
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler 'Stop!'
For Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying, 'Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day.'

Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump,Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.

Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer

Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.
She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
and we begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication, and she
staggered out the door into the snow.
When we found her Christmas morning,
at the scene of the attack,
she had hoof-prints on her forehead,
and incriminating Claus marks on her back.

Now we're all so proud of grandpa,
He's been taking this so well.
See him in there watching football,
drinking root beer and
playing cards with Cousin Mel.
It's not Christmas without Grandma,
All the family's dressed in black
and we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts,
or send them back?
Send them back!!

Now the goose is on the table
and the pudding made of fig
and the blue and silver candles
that would just have matched
the hair on grandma's wig.
I've warned all my
friends and neighbors
better watch out for yourselves,
they should never give a license
to a man who drives a sleigh
and plays with elves.

Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
by Haven Gillespie and J.Fred Coots
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake.

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

Up On The Housetop

1. Up on a housetop reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down thru the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys.

Chorus
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.

2. First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh, dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that will open and shut her eyes.
Chorus
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.

3. Look in the stocking of little Will
Oh, just see what a glorious fill!
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
Whistle and ball and a whip that cracks.

Chorus
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Oh, oh, oh! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click

Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose;
And, if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
The one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say,
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"

O Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of bethlehem, how still be see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and the gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars together proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the king and peace to men on earth.

Ghost Chickens
(To the tune of Ghost Riders In The Sky)

A chicken farmer went to work
one dark and dreary day.
He rested by the henhouse as he went along his way
When all at once a rotten egg just hit him in the eye.
It was the sight he dreaded….
Ghost chickens in the sky.

(Chorus)
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Ghost chickens in the sky.

The farmer had raised chickens since he was 24.
Working fir the Colonel for thirty years or more.
Killing all those chickens and sending them to fry.
Now they want their just revenge…ghost chickens in the sky.

(Chorus)
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Ghost chickens in the sky.
 

Their feet were orange and shiny,
Their eyes were burning red.
They had no meal or feathers,
These chickens all were dead.
They picked the farmer up,
They killed him with the claw.
They cooked him Extra Crispy,
And served him with cole slaw.

(Chorus)
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Bok, bok, bok, bok.
Ghost chickens in the sky.

If You’re a Tiger and You Know It

(Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know IT”)

Boys extend and curl their fingers like claws.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, show your claws,
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, show your claws,
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, then your claws will surely show it.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, show your claws,
 

Boys stand up tall and straight.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, show you’re strong.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, show you’re strong.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, then your strength will surely show it.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, show you’re strong.

Boys make a loud roaring sound.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, give a roar.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, give a roar.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, then your roar will surely show it.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, give a roar.

Boys perform motions for each line.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, show all three.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, show all three.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, and you really want to show it.
If you’re a Tiger and you know it, show all three.

You wait for the critter to meet it's fate,
You take it home and you make it great.

Hiking Song

Joined the Scouts   with no pay
To hike and hike  and hike all day
Finally stopped   when our legs got sore
Then we got up   and hiked some more!

Chorus
Sound Off   One Two
Sound Off   Three Four
Break it on Down  One Two Three Four One Two......Three Four

Cub Scout Pack   Thirty Eight
On a hike and   looking great
It got cold   but we don't care
We just saw   a black Bear!

Camping out  is never boring
'specially when   someone's snoring
Boy that snoring  is so loud
Thought it was   a thunder cloud!

Hiking hiking   in the sun
Boy 'O boy   ain't this fun
Count the miles   that we have made
Wishing we could  find some shade!

Pack Thirty Eight is number one
We think camping  is so fun
Pack Thirty Eight  is the best
Quality Pack   is our quest!

Here at camp   the food is great
We ate it all   and liked the plate
They told us that  it was steak
Or was it chicken,  or a snake!
