Arizona Star
I’m an Arizona, Arizona Arizona star
And I come from the West
Where the cowpokes are
I can ride ‘em, I can rope ‘em
I can show ‘em how it’s done
I’m a rootin’ tootin’ cowboy
With my sixshooter gun
Dum da da dum dum
Bang! Bang!
I am a California, California, California babe
and I come from the west where the surfers catch a wave.
I can ride ‘em, I can surf ‘em, I can show ‘em how it’s done
I’m a rootin’ tootin’ surfer with my wet suit on.
Dum da da da da HANG TEN!
The Backwards Song
Well, I walked up the door
And I opened the stairs
Said my pajamas
And put on my prayers
Turned on the bed
And jumped into the light
All because you kissed me * good night
Well, I woke in the morning
And I scrambled my shoes
Shined up my eggs
And toasted the news
Buttered my tie
And took another bite
All because you kissed me,
Never could resist me,
All because you kissed me* good night
* blow a kiss
Little Sally Walker
Little Sally Walker, walking down the street,
She didn’t know what to do,
So she stopped in front of me,
She said “Hey girl do your thing”
“Do your thing”
“Do your thing”
“Do your thing”
“Hey girl do your thing”
“Do you thing and stop”
(Repeat)
*Girls stand in a circle and clap as the song is sung, one or more girls skips
around the inside of the circle and stops in front of a circle person as the
song indicates. She dances however she likes, and the circle people imitate
her until the song is over. They switch and the song is sung again.

Her Ground Squirrels (use two fingers on each hand to make squirrel teeth)
Her Girl Scouts (one arm up and one down, like a strong person showing
muscles)
*Substitute each thing for snakes one at a time and then add the rest on to
the end like we did in the class.
The Wee Wee Song
*Wee, wee wee,
Wee wee wee wee wee wee
Wee wee wee wee wee
Wee wee wee wee
Wee wee wee wee wee
When I was just a wee-wee tot
They took me off my wee wee cot
And put me on my wee wee pot
To see if I would wee or not
*Chorus
When they saw that I would not
They took me off my wee wee pot
And put me on my wee wee cot
And then I gave it all I got
*Chorus

Little Cabin in a Wood
Little cabin in a wood,
Little man at the window stood;
Saw a rabbit running by,
Knocking at the door.
“Help me! Help me! Help me!” he said,
“For the hunter shoots me dead!”
“Come little rabbit, come inside;
Safely you will hide.”

Moon on the Meadow
Chorus:
Moon on the meadow,
Bugs in our ears,
Smoke in our eyes,
Wet wood and tears,
On up the meadow, water somewhere
We were the only ones there.
Wild horse and slushy, dry lakes, and peaks
Finding the love that everyone seeks
Hiking to rainbows, sunsets and stars
Just finding out who we are.
(Chorus)
We shall return here, one lucky day
Our hearts will guide us, they’ve learned the way
People in cities don’t understand
Falling in love with the land.
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears,
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears
On up the meadow, water somewhere
With you, my friend, I am there.
Friends
Friends are nothing 'til they sing.
Together, they must sing the whole day.
They must sing the night away.
They must sing, together they must sing.
Other verses:
Friends are nothing 'til they laugh...
Friends are nothing 'til they cry...
Friends are nothing 'til they love...
Friends are nothing 'til they live...
(last verse)
Friends are nothing ‘til they,
Part with teardrops in their eyes.
They must go their separate ways,
And hope to meet again someday.
Sunnyside
Stay on the sunny side.
Always on the sunny side.
Stay on the sunny side of life.
You'll feel no pain
As they drive you all insane
If you stay on the sunny side of life.
Knock, knock...who's there?
Ether...ether who?
The Ether Bunny! [Easter with a lisp.]
Knock, knock...who's there?
Another...'nother who?
Another Ether Bunny!
Knock, knock...who's there?
Still a...still a who?
Still another Ether Bunny!
Knock, knock...who's there?

Frog Song
Um-ah went the little green frog one day
Um-ah went the little green frog
Um-ah went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went um-ah, um-ah, um-ah-ah!
All the other frogs went Fo-do-de-o-de-o
All the other frogs went Fo-do-de-o
But the little green frog goes
Um-ah, um-ah, um-ah-ah.

On the Loose
Chorus:
On the loose to climb a mountain
On the loose where I am free,
On the loose to live my life
The way I think my life should be;
For I only have a moment,
And a whole world yet to see,
I’ll be looking for tomorrow...on the loose.
Have you ever seen a sunset
Turn the sky completely red?
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars,
With a pine bough for your head?
Do you sit and talk with friends
Though a word is never said?
Then you’re just like me
And you’ve been on the loose. (Chorus)
In this world that I am traveling
I shall think of you each day
Remembering your smile
For it seems like yesterday
That we sat beneath the stars
And we dreamed about today
We’ve come together
And we are on the loose.
There’s a trail that I’ll be hiking
Just to see where it may go.
Many places yet to visit,
Many people yet to know
So in following my dreams
I will live and I will grow
On the trail that’s waiting
Out there...on the loose. (Chorus)
So in search of love and laughter
I’ll be traveling ‘cross this land.
Never sure of where I’m going
For I haven’t any plan
But in time when you are ready
Come and join me,
Take my hand
And together we’ll find love out...on the loose.
(Chorus)
Say When
Super California Surfers
(to the tune of Supercalifragalisticexpialidocious)
Super California surfers
Experts on the ocean
Even thought some of them do not wear suntan lotion
When they hit the waves so hard they’re always in the motion
Super California surfers
Experts on the ocean!
Um didalittle um dittle aya, Um didalittle um dittle aya
I was afraid to surf when I was just a lad
My father took my board away and told me I was bad
Then one day I learned a word that all the surfers know
Super California surfers
Experts on the ocean!
Say when, will we ever meet again
Say when, will we ever meet again
Say when, will we ever meet again
Say when, my friend, say when.
Say where, and I’ll meet you right there
Say where, and I’ll meet you right there
Say where, and I’ll meet you right there
Say where, my friend say where.
Say why, do we have to say goodbye
Say why, do we have to say goodbye
Say why, do we have to say goodbye
Say why, my friend, say why.
Say when, will we ever meet again
Say where, and I’ll meet you right there
Say why, do we have to say goodbye
Say when, say where, say why.

Hawaiian Song
Chorus
Ty-y-y-y way-y-y-y ty-y-y-y uno wan e a uh!
Ty-y-y-y way-y-y-y ty-y-y-y uno wan e a uh!
There’s a funny little sunny little melody ch, ch, ch
That was started by the natives down in Waikiki ch, ch, ch
Like a tropical storm down by the sea
funny little gay Hawaiian chant ch, ch. ch
Chorus
All the native boys they started singing it la, la, la
And all the native girls they started swinging it ch, ch, ch
Like a tropical storm down by the sea

Chorus
Kookaburra
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
Merry merry gay your life must be
Ha, ha, ha!
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra
Save some there for me
Yum, yum, yum!
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop Kookaburra, stop kookaburra
Don’t you dare count me!
Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them the blacker they get
Some day I think that I’ll launder them
Something keeps telling me Don’t do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet, NOT YET!
G For Generosity
She wears a G for generosity,
She wears a I for interest, too
She wears a R for responsibility
She wears a L for loyalty, for loyalty.
She wears a S for her sincerity
She wears a C for courtesy, for courtesy
She wears an O U T for outdoor life,
you bet your life
And that’s the kind of girl I want to be,
Girl Scout!
Daisy On My Toe
There's a daisy on my toe,
It is not real, it does not grow,
It's just a tattoo of a flower,
'Cause it looks neat while taking a shower.
It's on the second toe of my left foot,
A stem and flower, it has no root,
'Cause that wouldn't look good.
There's a daisy on my toe,
My right foot loves my left foot so (smack.)

Brownie Smile Song
I’ve something in my pocket;
It belongs across my face.
And 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!
I Have a Little Puppy
(Tune - Brownie Smile Song)
I have a little puppy
He has a stubby tail,
He isn't very chubby,
He's skinny as a rail.
He'll always be a puppy,
He'll never be a hound,
They sell him at the butcher's store
For thirty cents a pound.
Bow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow,
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow,
HOT DOG!
Froggie (repeat song)
Dog…Dog Cat… Dog Cat Mouse… Froggie….
Itsy bitsy teeny weenie little yellow froggie
Jump jump jump jump a little froggie
Eatin up all the worms n spiders

Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit croak!
Garden Song
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is a rake and a hoe, and a piece of fertile ground.
Inch by inch, row by row,
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
‘Til the rains come tumbling down.
Pullin’ weeds and picking stones, man is made from dreams and bones.
Feel the need to grow my own, cause the time is close at hand.
Pray for rain, sun and rain, find my way in nature’s chain
To my body and my brain, to the music of the land.
Plant your rows straight and wide; nourish it with prayer and song.
Mother earth will make you strong if you give her love and care.
Old crow watching from the leaves, from his perch in yonder trees.
In my garden I am as free as the feathered thief up there.
Linger
MM, I want to linger
MM, a little longer
MM, a little longer here with you
MM, it's such a lovely night
MM, it doesn't seem quite right
MM, that this should be our last with you
MM, When come September,
MM, we will remember
MM, our camping days and friendships true
MM, and as the years go by
MM, we'll think of you and sigh
MM, this is goodnight and not goodbye
MM, I want to linger
MM, a little longer
MM, a little longer here with you

Hermie the Worm
Chorus:
Sittin' on a fence post, chewing my bubble gum,
Playin' with my yo-yo (boing, boing)

Princess Pat
The Princess Pat
Led Infantry.
She sailed across
The Seven Seas.
She sailed across
the Channel, too.
And she took with her
A ricky-dan-doo.
(Chorus)
A ricky-dan-doo,
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 ricky-dan-doo
Now Captain Jack
Led a mighty fine crew.
He sailed across
The Channel too.
But his ship sank,
And yours will too,
If you forget
A ricky-dan-doo.
(Chorus)

Little Red Wagon
Beetle Song
(same tune as "There's a Tavern in a Town")
Once a Girl Scout went to camp, went to camp
She went to bed without a lamp, without a lamp
When she found a beetle in her bed
This is what the Girl Scout said, Girl Scout said.
Oh beetle, beetle, go away, go away
I am afraid you can not stay, can not stay
Remember what the Girl Scout Leader said
No two people in one bed, in one bed!
(spoken rhythmically, starting quietly, each verse louder
then the one before)
You can't ride in my little red wagon.
The front seat is broken and the axle’s broken.
Second verse, same as the first,
A little bit louder and a whole lot worse.
You can't ride with my little red wagon.
The axle's broken and the wheels are saggin'.
Third verse, same as the first,
A little bit louder and a little bit worse.
You can't play with my little red wagon.
The axle's broken and the wheels are saggin'.
Third Fence Post
I’ve been sitting here thinking about leaving
When I wanted to stay the most,
So I went outside and left a piece of my heart
Buried by the third fence post.
Chorus:
So when tomorrow morning comes, I’ll be smiling
Though I might be a little down.
Although my body’s leaving, I’ll still be around.
I’ve been sitting here thinking about smiling,
And the warmth and the love you give.
So I went inside your little house
And felt glad this is how you live.
(Chorus)
I’ve been sitting here thinking about flowers
And sunshine and the happiness of being alive,
Which means I’m thinking of you and the waters
And the mountains and plenty of wide open skies.
(Chorus)
Though my body’s leaving, I’ll still be around
Baby Duck
Wasn't it a bit of luck
That I was born a baby duck
With yellow socks and yellow shoes
That I may wear wherever I choose
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Yaa, Ducks!!
Wasn’t it a little funny
That I was born a baby bunny
With big floppy ears and a cottontail
That I may hop right down the trail
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop
Yaa. Bunnies!

Magic
When I was young, I thought the stars were made for wishing on.
And every hole in a tree, would hide a leprechaun.
Old houses all had secret rooms, if one could find the key.
I do believe in magic, I believe.
Chorus:
Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain.
Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again.
Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave.
I do believe in magic, I believe.
When I grew up, the grown-ups said one day I’d wake to find,
That magic was a childish game I’d have to leave behind.
Like clothes that would no longer fit, or toys that I’d ignore,
I’d not believe in magic anymore.
(Chorus)
A child, a friend, a smile, a song,
The courage to stand tall,
And loves the greatest magic of them all.
(Chorus)
Found a Peanut
Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut over there,
Thought I'd eat it, thought I'd eat it, thought I'd eat it, didn’t care.
Rather tasty, rather tasty, rather tasty but now,
Got a pain, got a pain, got a pain, don't know how.
Fetch a doctor, fetch a doctor, fetch a doctor, fetch him quick.
Appendicitis, appendicitis, appendicitis, feeling sick
Cut him open, cut him open, cut him open, save his life.
Sew him up, sew him up, sew him up around my knife.
Cut him open, cut him open, cut him open ‘til it’s found,
Sew him up, sew him up, have you seen my specs around.
Cut him open, cut him open, cut him open, - ad nauseam.
My Name is Joe
Hi! My name is Joe; I work in a button factory.
One day, my boss came up to me and said,
"Hi, Joe, I've got a job for you."
And I said, "OK."
He said, "Turn the knob with your right hand."
2...Turn the knob with your left hand.
3...Step on the knob with your right foot.
4...Step on the knob with your left foot.
5...Push the knob with your hips.
6...Turn the knob with your head.

Alive, Alert, Awake
I'm alive, alert, awake, enthusiastic,

I'm awake, alert, alive,
I'm alive, alert, awake, enthusiastic!
Wa - Da - Lee - Acha
Wa-da-lee-acha, wa-da-lee-acha,
Doodle-lee-do, doodle-lee-do.
Wa-da-lee-acha, wa-da-lee-acha,
Doodle-lee-do, doodle-lee-do.
Simplest thing there isn't much to it,
All you have to do is doodle-lee do it.
I like the rest, but the part I like best goes:
Doodle-lee doodle-lee-do. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Shooting Star
Please won’t you catch a shooting star for me
And take it with you on your way.
Although we just met, you’re the one I won’t forget.
Hope some kind of wind blows you back my way.
Chorus:
And I was thinking maybe somewhere down the road,
After all our stories have been told,
I’ll sit and think of you, the good friend I once knew,
Shot through my life like a shooting star.
Sometimes I know that part of you will show,
Deep in my eyes and in my smile.
There’ll always be a part of you deep inside my heart
And I’ll know just when to let it show.
(Chorus)
You are so dear; you’re my light and shining star.
You brighten up each and every day.
You are so near but soon you’ll be so far,
So why not hold my hand today?
(Chorus)
Old Lady Leary
Late last night, when we were all in bed
Old lady Leary lit the lantern in the shed
And when the cow kicked it over
She winked her eye and said
“There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight!!!”
Fire, fire, fire
Water, water, water
Save my child, save my child
Jump lady jump!!!
AHHHHHHHH!

Camp Winacka Song
Chorus:
Camp Winacka, the oaks and the pines
Live there together, why don’t you and I?
There’s a place in the mountains
Where the sun and the snow
Nourish the earth and the wild things grow
The hawk and the blue jay, the squirrel and raccoon
Come in the morning and leave by the moon.
(Chorus)
There’s covered wagons where you’ll make your bed
Unroll your blanket and lay down your head
You can row on the waters in a dugout canoe
Walk across meadows and rolling hills, too.
(Chorus)
Ride spirited ponies on Boulder Creek Road
Pull back your arrows and let it all go
You can gaze at the heavens and watch falling
stars.
Thank God for living and be who you are.
(Chorus)
With People I Like
Chorus:
It’s so nice to be here with, people I like
And it’s so nice to hear them all say,
That it’s so nice to be here with, people I like
And with them to share a new day.
(chorus)
It’s a new day we’re living in,
Filled with bounty and praise.
The cold and the darkness are driven away
While the morning light blesses our days.
(chorus)
The people I like are the, people I find
Who live with a smile of care.
Their looks and their lives are, different than mine
But together this new day we share.
(chorus)
Time spent apart seems to, fade away
Smiling faces warm us inside.
We can talk without saying a word,
Our love is deep it does not die.
Dinosaur Song
One day while the weather was cloudy and gray
I wished that someone would come over and play
I heard a knock, knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur.
Chorus:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
Big as a house, twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as Sequoia trees, teeth big as piano keys.
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur.
We hopscotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty, mile after mile,
In one great big gulp, we just drank up the Nile.
Chorus
Then on to Hawaii, far over the sea
And we'd learn to surf, my good buddy and me
In grass skirts and flowers, we'll hula all day
Oh I am so glad he came over to play
Chorus
Our next stop is Holland, the tulips we'll see
We'll stroll on a dike by the great Zyder Zee
We'll munch a friend eel, and some good Edam
cheese
We'll see lots of windmills, a sight sure to please.
Chorus
Let's go to Alaska to see Eskimos
We'll need heavy boots and some very warm clothes
With penguins and seals, polar bears and reindeer
The beautiful great northern lights will be there.

I Love My Aardvark
I love my aardvark, my aardvark loves me
I love my aardvark by the cottonwood tree
My little aardvark goes...Doyty-doyty-doy-ty
Doyty dee doyty dee doy dee doy.
Verses: tarantula...whee
octopus...slurp
hedgehog...grunt
leader..."What are you doing over
there?"
Girl Scouts..."Who me?"
Boogie Woogie Washa-Woman
Down in the jungles where nobody goes,
There's a boogie woogie washa-woman,
washin' her clothes.
With a rub-a-dub here and a rub-a-dub there,
A boogie woogie washa-woman,
washin' her clothes.
A diddley I, oh, a boogie, a woogie
Diddley I, oh, a boogie, a woogie,
Diddley I, oh, a boogie, a woogie,
A boogie woogie washa-woman,
washin' her clothes, yah!

Barges
Barges, I would like to go with you;
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea,
And the barges too go silently.
Barges, I would like to go with you;
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red,
You can see them flickering far ahead.
Barges, I would like to go with you;
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
How my heart longs to sail away with you
As you sail across the ocean blue.
But I must sit beside my window dear,
And watch you sail away from here.

On My Honor
Chorus :
On my honor, I will try.
There's a duty to be done and I say I.
There's a reason to be here for a reason above.
My honor is to try and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name.
If I've done any harm, then I'm to blame.
If I've helped someone, then I've helped me.
And I've opened up my eyes to see.
Chorus
I've tucked away a song or two.
If you're feeling low, there's one for you.
If you need a friend, then I will come.
And there's many more where I come from.
Chorus
Friendship is the strangest thing
if you keep it to yourself, no reward will bring
but you gave it away, you gave it to me
and from now on great friends we'll be
Chorus
Come with me where the fire burns bright,
We can even see better by the candle's light.
And we'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow,
Than we've ever found in a year or so.
Chorus
We've a promise to always keep.
And to pray "Softley Falls" before we sleep.
We are Girl Scouts together and when we're gone,
We'll still be trying and singing this song.
Black Oak
Chorus:
Black Oak, Black Oak
Ooh, baby, let the xylem flow;
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya.
(Repeat)
The gray squirrel told me just the other day;
He found an acorn and he ran away.
He dug a hole and he stuck it in the sand;
And now tall trees grow across the land.
(Chorus)
A Black Oak’s roots grow way down low,
Where water and nutrients begin to flow.
They raise their branches and they wave to the sun.
And now photo-synthesis has begun.
(Chorus)
City Girls
Chorus: All around the mountain charmin' Betsy
All around the mountain Laura Lee
If I ever see her again
May the good Lord remember me!
City girls they wear those tight silk skirts
Country girls they wear the same
Mountain girls they wear big overalls
But they get there just the same
(Repeat chorus after each verse)
(2) high heeled shoes..big hiking boots
(3) fancy perfume..go au natural
(4) flush toilets..find a friendly bush
(5) fancy cars..just hop on a horse

I Love the Mountains
I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills
I love the flowers, I love the chaparral
I love the fireside, when all the lights are low,
Living in the tents and cabins, under the watch of God
He made the pathways, that our feet have trod,
I love to live and I live to love for
All these things, oh
We camp together, travel down the streams
Watch for sunrise and share our fondest dreams
I love to live, and live to love for
All these beautiful things, oh
Alligator
Chorus:
Alligator, Alligator
Can be your friend
Can be your friend
Can be your friend too!
The alligator is my friend,
He can be your friend too,
If only you would understand
That he has feelings too!
Chorus
The alligator smiles and grins.
He never sings the blues.
I’d rather wear him on my shirt,
Than wear him on my shoes!
Chorus
The alligator ate my friend.
He can eat your friend too,
If only you would understand,
That he gets hungry too!!

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh, Running Bear, loves Little White Dove
With a love as big as the sky.
Oh, Running Bear, loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies.
On one side of the river
Stood Running Bear, Indian brave.
On the other side of the river,
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove was her name
And she was a sight to see,
But their tribes fought together
So their love could never be.
(chorus)
Running Bear jumped into the water,
Little White Dove did the same.
They swam towards each other,
Through the swirling waters they came.
First their eyes met, then their lips touched,
Then the swirling waters pulled them down.
Now they'll always be together,
In their happy hunting ground.
(chorus)
Lizard Face
A lizard face (make a lizard face)
A lizard face
A crocodile face (put arms out and clap your hands)
And a lizard face
Sing chorus twice
A buffalo face (make buffalo horns)
A buffalo face
A lizard face
A crocodile face
Sing chorus twice
Repeat first chorus
