Boy and a Girl in a little Canoe
Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe
With the moon shinin’ all around
He paddled his paddle so he didn’t even make a sound
Well they talked and they talked till the moon grew dim
And he said you better kiss me or get out and swim
So watcha gonna do in a little canoe
With the boy swimmin’ all a,
And the girl paddlin’ all a round
Not Much!
Get out and swim!
Something in My Pocket
Daisy:
I've something in my pocket
That's what the big girls say.
I'll have a pocket of my own,
When I wear brown someday.
My life is bright and easy,
I smile most of the day.
I'm having lots of fun now,
I sing and laugh and play!
Traditional Brownie version:
I've got something in my pocket,
That 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!
Junior: I've something in my pocket ...
That's what I used to say.
I spent my time so aimlessly,
At home, at school, at play.
Now every day is special,
I'm searching, who am I?
Only I can find that out
Please let me have a try!
Cadette:
I've something in my pocket ...
That's what I used to say.
Playing childhood games with friends,
Seems just like yesterday.
I'm becoming a young woman,
Soon I'll be a child no more,
There's lots of opportunity,
And so much to explore.
Bug Juice
Tune: On top of Old Smokey
At camp with the Girl Scouts,
They gave us a drink.
We thought it was Kool-aid
Because it was pink.
But the drink that they gave us,
Would have grossed out a moose.
For that great tasting pink drink
Was really BUG JUICE!
It looks fresh and fruity
Like Tasty Kool-aid
But the bugs that are in it,
Were murdered with Raid.
We drank it by gallons,
We drank it by tons,
But by that Sunday
We all had no gums.
Next time you drink Bug Juice,
And a fly drives you mad,
He's just getting even,
'Cause you swallowed his dad!
Daisy on my Toe
(sung) There’s a daisy on my toe
it is not real, it does not grow
it’s just a tattoo of a flower
So I look cool, while taking a shower
it’s on the second toe of my left foot
A stem and flower, it has no root
(spoken) Why?
‘Cause that wouldn’t look good
(sung) There’s a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves my left foot so
Doughnut Shop
Well, I walked around the corner
and I walked around the block
and I walked right into a doughnut shop
and I pulled a doughnut right out of 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 nickel is no good, you see.
There’s a hole in the middle, I can see right through.”
And I said, “There’s a hole in your doughnut too.
Thanks for the doughnut, so long.”

Hippo Song
What can make a hippopotamus smile
What can make him walk for more than a mile
it’s not a tune on the ol’ violin
or listin’ to the whistilin’ wind
Chorus:
That’s not what hippos do
They ooze in the gooze
without any shoes
The wade in the water
‘till 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 a mile
it’s not a party with paper hats
or cakes and candies that make him fat
(Repeat chorus)
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Chorus (repeat after each verse):
Little bunny Foo Foo, hopping through the forest,
Scooping up the field mice, and bopping them on the head,
And down came the good fairy, and she said,
V1 "Little bunny Foo Foo, I don't want to see you
Scooping up the field mice, and bopping them on the head."
V2 "I'll give you three chances, And then I'll turn you into a goon." But the very next day...
V3 "I'll give you two more chances, And then I'll turn you into a goon." But the very next day...
V4 "I'll give you one more chance, And then I'll turn you into a goon." But the very next day...
(ending): "I gave you three chances, So now I'll turn you into… a goon." - Zap! The moral of the story is: "Hare today; goon tomorrow."
Little Skunk Song
Oh I stuck my head in a little skunk hole,
And the little skunk said, "Well bless my soul."
"Take it out, take it out, take it out, Remove it!"
Well, I didn't take it out, so the little skunk said,
"if you don't take it out, you'll wish you did!"
"Take it out, take it out, take it out!" PEE-U-O-O!! I REMOVED iT!
Me and My Dinosaur
Me and my dinosaur,
I've never had such a friend before
As big as a house 10 times and a half
He is way bigger than any giraffe
Legs long as a sequoia tree
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies
More than me and my dinosaur.
