Aardvark Song
There was a large dark aardvark
In the park
They say heʼs missing from the zoo
(Hey thatʼs me folks)
The police are searching
High and low
They donʼt know what to do
(Peek-a-boo)
Why did he go?
Oh, I think I know the reason
Cause its aardvark-dating season
When an aardvark makes a date
He slips right through
That old zoo gate
So if you see two aardvarks
Kissing in the park
Donʼt upset their apple cart
Why not?
Do not be a spy
Youʼre not the FBI
You should never break an
Aardvarkʼs heart

You canʼt ride in my little red wagon
The front seatʼs broken and the axleʼs dragging

Donut Song
Oh I walked around the corner
And I walked around the block
And I walked right into a donut shop
And I took two donuts
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
She said this nickel is
No good you see
Thereʼs a hole in the middle
And it goes right through
I said lady thereʼs a hole
In your donuts too!
Thanks for the donuts
Good-bye

Running though the rice,
At the store! At the store!
There are mice, mice, mice,
Running through the rice, at the Quartermaster's store.

Little Black Things
tune of Clementine
Chorus:
Little black things, little black things,
Crawling up and down my arms,
If I wait till they have babies,
I can start a black things farm!
Haven't had a bath in two years,
And I never change my clothes,
But I've got these little black things,
Where they come from, Heaven knows!
Chorus
Once a cute boy/girl, tried to kiss me,
But he screamed and gave a yell,
And he ran before I could ask him,
Was it the black things or the smell?
Chorus
Bug Juice
Tune: On Top of Old Smokey
At the camp with the 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'.

Linger
Mm—I want to linger
Mm—a little longer
Mm—a little longer here with you
Mm—itʼs such a perfect night
Mm—it doesnʼt seem quite right
Mm—that it should be my last with you

Mm—I will remember
Mm—Camp Willow springs and friendships true
Mm—and as the years go by
Mm—Iʼll think of you and sigh
Mm—this is good-night and not good-bye

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hill, from the sky,
All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky.
As we go, this we know. God is nigh.
