On the first day of camping, my troop brought to me-
A scrub brush for the latrine

3 logs to chop
4 cans of OFF
5 stinky socks
6 leaky buckets
7 slimy snakes
8 rusty saws
9 muddy boots
10 burned fingers
11 charred s’mores
12 bees a-swarming

- Noble Duke of YorkClick here to play
The Noble Duke of York he had 10,000 men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
and he marched them down again.
And when they were up, they were up
and when they were down ,they were down,
But when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down.

- Calamine LotionClick here to play
tune:My Bonnie
My body has calamine lotion
My body's all red you can see
The flowers I picked for my Mommy
Turned out to be poison ivy
Don't touch, don't touch, or you will get poison ivy-y-y
Don't Touch, don't touch or you will get poison ivy-y-y
I'm covered in calamine lotion
I'm blistered and red you can see
If only I'd paid more attention
Avoiding the leaves that are three
Don't touch, don't touch, or you will get poison ivy-y-y
Don't touch, don't touch, or you will get poison ivy-y-y
- BUG JUICEClick here to play
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 thing that they told us
Would have grossed out a moose
For the good tasting pink stuff was really BUG JUICE
It looked fresh and fruity like tasty Kool-aid
But the bugs that were in it were murdered with RAID
We drank by the gallon, we drank by the ton
But then the next morning we all had the runs
Next time you drink bug juice,
and a fly drives you mad
He's just getting even,
'cause you swallowed his dad.

- MY BREAKFAST LIES OVER THE OCEANClick here to play
(To the tune of My Bonnie)
My breakfast lies over the ocean,
My dinner lies over the sea,
My stomach is in a commotion,
Don’t mention my supper to me.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me.
I really felt rotten this morning,
They tell me I really looked pale,
My stomach gave adequate warning,
To lean far out over the rail.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me.
The sound of a stomach in motion,
A murmuring noise inside me,
I looked down and there on the water,
Was breakfast and dinner and tea.
Chorus
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me.

My stomach is in a commotion,
I dare not lean over the rail,

come up, come up, come up dear dinner come up.
- CAMPING VESPERSClick here to play
(tune: O Christmas Tree)
Softly falls the rain today
As our campsite floats away,
Silently each Girl Scout asks,
Have I brought my scuba mask?
Have I tied my tent flaps down,
Learnt to swim so I won't drown,
Have I done and will I try,
Everything to keep me dry?
- TIPTOE THROUGH THE TENT PEGSClick here to play
(tune: tiptoe throught the tulips)
Tiptoe through the tent pegs,
Through the tent pegs
To the lavat'ry
Come tiptoe through the tent pegs with me.......
'Cos..... I'm dreaming of a flush toilet,
Just like the one we have at home!
With a silver chain
And a proper drain,
And somewhere for it all to go........ so......
Tiptoe through the tent pegs,
Through the tent pegs
To the lavat'ry
Come tiptoe through the tent pegs with me!
- WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH A GUIDE WHO'S DOZY?Click here to play
Tune : What shall we do with a drunken sailor
What shall we do with a Guide who's dozy,
Stays in bed when the morning's rosy,
Tucked in her sleeping bag all cosy,
Early in the morning?
Way hey, get up you campers,
Way hey, get up you campers,
Way hey, get up you campers,
Early in the morning!
Pull her out of bed with a running bowline.
Pull her out of bed with a running bowline.
Pull her out of bed with a running bowline
Early in the morning!
Way hey etc....
Splash her and soak her and wet her all over,
Splash her and soak her and wet her all over,
Splash her and soak her and wet her all over,
Early in the morning!
Way hey etc....
Throw her in the lake with her clothes on backwards
Throw her in the lake with her clothes on backwards
Throw her in the lake with her clothes on backwards
Early in the morning!
Way hey, get up you campers,
Way hey, get up you campers,
Way hey, get up you campers,
Early in the morning!
- ONCE A GIRL SCOUT WENT TO CAMP Click here to play
(Tune: Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes)
Once a Girl Scout went to camp, went to camp
Went to camp without her lamp, without her lamp
And when she saw a spider in her bed,
This is what the Girl Scout said, Girl Scout said:
"Spider, spider, go away, go away,
You are not allowed to stay, allowed to stay
This is what my leader said,
'No two bodies in one bed, in one bed.'"
Once a Boy Scout went to camp, went to camp
Went to camp without his lamp, without his lamp
And there he saw a spider in his bed, in his bed
This is what the Boy Scout said, Boy Scout said:
"Aaaaaauuughhhhhh!"
- A Hiking SongClick here to play
[To the tune of "Pack Up Your Your Troubles..."]
Pack up your luncheon in your brown knapsack
And hike, hike, hike.
Take all you need upon your own strong back
Wander where you like.
Leave the road to motor cars,
The sidewalks to the bikes---but ...
Pack up your luncheon in your brown knapsack
And hike, hike, hike

And when you march by, under your troop flags,
We'll be cheering for your G-G-G-G-Green {B-B-B-B-Blue} vests!
- Campin' in the Rain Click here to play
Tune: Singin' in the Rain
I'm campin' in the rain, just campin' in the rain.
The tent and campfire are soggy again.
The clouds in the sky are making me cry.
My waterlogged shoes may never get dry.
All the mud in the place is stuck on my face.
The frogs and the turtles are starting to race.
Oh, what should I do? I need a canoe.
A webbed--footed weasel swam off with my shoe.
I'm campin' in the rain; just campin' in the rain.
The good doctor said I've got water on the brain.
I can't light the fire. I'm stuck in the mire.
The lightning just knocked down the telephone wire.
I'm drownin' in the rain; just drownin' in the rain.
Won't it please stop raining --- I hate to complain.
My sleeping bag's wet. I'm starting to fret.
My life jacket wasn't the thing to forget.
I'm campin' in the rain; just campin' in the rain.
What a glorious feeling! Someone just plugged the drain.
The pre--cip--i--tate will now dis--a--pate.
The sun soon will dry up the puddle I hate.
No more campin' in the rain.
- Skeeter BitesClick here to play
(Tune: Edelweiss)
Skeeter bites, skeeter bites,
Every morning I find them
Small and round, red and brown
Covering my head to my toes.
Buttons of red that I just must scratch,
Itch and scratch forever
Skeeter bites, Skeeter bites,
Mom send my insect spray!
- A Freezing Tent Click here to play
(to the tune of a ram sam sam)
A freezing tent, a freezing tent,
The rain is coming down in a freezing tent.
A freezing tent, a freezing tent,
The rain is coming down in a freezing tent.
Wet blankets, wet blankets,
The rain is coming down in a freezing tent.
Wet blankets, wet blankets,
The rain is coming down in a freezing tent.
