The Ash Grove Down yonder green valley where streamlet meander, When twilight is fading I pensively rove, Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove. It’s there that the blackbird is cheerfully singing Each warbler enchants with his notes from the tree. Ah, then little think I of sorrow or sadness The ash grove entrancing spells beauty for me. I’m a Nut Song I’m a nut that’s big and round, Lying on the cold, cold ground. People come and stomp on me, That is why I’m cracked, you see. Chorus: I’m a nut (clap, clap), I’m a nut (clap, clap), I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut (clap, clap). Called myself on the telephone, Just to see if I was home. Asked myself out on a date; Picked me up at half past eight. CHORUS Took myself to the picture show, Sat right down in the very third row. Wrapped my arms around my waist, Got so fresh, I slapped my face. CHORUS Birdie, birdie in the sky, Dropped some whitewash in my eye. I’m a big girl, I won’t cry, Just as long as you know why. CHORUS Coca Cola went to town, Pepsi Cola shot him down. Dr. Pepper fixed him up, Now he looks like 7-Up. CHORUS

I caught a little baby bumble bee, Oww! It stung me! I’m smashing up the baby bumble bee, Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m smashing up the baby bumble bee, Eww! It’s all sticky! I’m licking up the baby bumble bee, Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m licking up the baby bumble bee, Blech! That’s ickey! I’m barfing up the baby bumble bee, Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m barfing up the baby bumble bee, Ick! That’s smelly! I’m mopping up the baby bumble bee, Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m mopping up the baby bumble bee, There! All clean!

She said go buy a collar. But I didn’t buy no collar. CHORUS My mom gave me a five. She said just stay alive. But I didn’t stay alive. Instead, I choked on bubblegum. Bazooka-zooka bubblegum.

Bug Juice Song (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 gross out a moose,
For the good-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 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.
Charmin’ Betsy
CHORUS:
All around the mountain Charmin’ Betsy, Betsy
All around the mountain Laura Lee-eeeee
If I ever see her again,
May the good Lord remember me. Yee Hah!
City girls they wear those fancy dresses. 2 – High heel shoes…wear old hiking boots
Country girls they do the same. 3 – That fancy perfume…just go au natural
Mountain girls wear blue overalls, 4 – Use them flush toilets…find a friendly
bush
But they get there just the same. 5 – Them bathing suits…wear nothin’ at all
6 – Fancy bras…just let it all hang out
CHORUS

Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips (Tune: Supercalifagilisticexpealadocious)
CHORUS:
Chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs,
Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty flat mud pies,
Stir them all together and it’s Mama’s Soup Surprise!
Oh, when I was just a little kid, I never liked to eat.
Mama’d put things on my plate; I’d dump them on her feet.
But then one day she made this soup; I ate it all in bed.
I asked her what she put in it and this is what she said:
CHORUS!
Ga Gunk Song
Ga gunk went the little green frog one day
Ga gunk went the little green frog.
Ga gunk went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went:
Gunk Gunk Gunk!
Girl Scouts Together Song
Girl Scouts together, that is our song.
Winding the old trail, rocky and long.
Learning our motto, living our creed,
Girl Scouts together in every good deed.
Girl Scouts together, happy are we,
Friendly to neighbors, far o’er the sea,
Faithful to country, loyal to home,
Known as true Girl Scouts wherever we roam.
Girl Scouts together, onward we go,
Joining our sisters, watching us grow.
Doctors and lawyers, women in space,
We know no boundaries, the future’s our place.

The leaders that they give us,
They say are mighty fine,
But when you ask a question,
They say, “Get back in line!”

O, I don’t want no more of outdoor life,
Gee, mom, I wanna go
But they won’t let me go,
Gee, mom, I wanna go ho-o-ome.

The buses that they give us,
They say are mighty fine,
But when they turn a corner,
They leave a wheel behind. CHORUS
The nurses that they give us,
They say are mighty fine,
But when you break a finger,
They break the other nine. CHORUS
The cocoa that they give us,
They say is mighty fine,
It’s good for cuts and bruises,
And tastes like turpentine. CHORUS
The milk that they have here,
They say is mighty fine,
It’s good for bites and rashes,
And tastes like iodine. CHORUS
The toilets that they have here,
They say are mighty fine,
But when you sit upon them,
A bug crawls up your spine. CHORUS
The biscuits that they give us,
They say are mighty fine,
But one rolled off a table,
And killed a friend of mine. CHORUS
The doctors that they give us,
They say are mighty fine,
My friend had a hangnail,
Her funeral’s at nine. CHORUS
The make-up that they give us,
They say is mighty fine,
But when you put it on,
You look like Frankenstein. CHORUS
The boyfriends that they give us,
They say are mighty fine,
But when you go to kiss them,
They run away and hide. CHORUS
Gee, mom, I wanna go,
But they won’t let me go,
Gee, mom, I wanna go HO-O-OME.

Hermie the Worm Song
Chorus:
Sittin’ on a fence post,
Chewin’ my bubble gum,
(smack-smack-smack-smack)
Playin’ with my yo-yo.
(woo-woo)
When along came Hermie the Worm
And he was this big.
And I said,
“Hermie, what happened?”
He said, “I ate my father!” (or breakfast)
CHORUS
When along came Hermie the Worm
And he was this big.
And I said,
“Hermie, what happened?”
He said, “I ate my mother!” (or lunch)
CHORUS
When along came Hermie the Worm
And he was this big.
And I said,
“Hermie, what happened?”
He said, “I ate my brother!” (or dinner)
CHORUS
When along came Hermie the Worm
And he was this big.
And I said,
“Hermie, what happened?”
He said, “I ate my sister!” (or dessert)
CHORUS
When along came Hermie the Worm
And he was this big.
And I said,
“Hermie, what happened?”
He said, “I burped!”
Action:
When you say “chewing my bubble
gum,” you act like you’re chewing with
your mouth open and make smacking
noises. While saying “playing with my
yo-yo,” act like you’re playing with a yo-
yo and say “woo, woo!” (supposed to
sound like a train whistle). Each time
you say, “and he was this big,” you hold
your hands like you’re showing how big
a fish is, each time getting bigger until
he burps at the end and then it would be
really small again.
The chorus you sing and the verses you
more or less say.

Do as many nursery rhymes as anyone can remember. More fun to sing in a large group where one half
of the group sings and verse and then it’s the other half’s turn. No nursery rhyme can be repeated which
makes it into a contest because each group has to think quickly.
15
Can also sing (instead of Humpty-dump): And threw it out the window, the window,
The second story window,
Give me a rhyme and I’ll sing it in time
And throw it out the window.

Because the wood’s wet, our fires won’t light.

Next morning my neighbors were dead.

On My Honor
CHORUS:
On my honor, I will try, there’s a duty to be done and aye say I.
There’s a reason 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.
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 plenty more where I come from.
CHORUS
Come with me where a fire burns bright, we can even see better than by candlelight.
And we’ll find more meaning in a campfire’s glow, than we’d ever learn in a year or so.
We’ve made a promise to always keep, and we’ll pray softly falls before we sleep.
We’ll be Girl Scouts together and when we’re gone,
We’ll still be together and singing this song.
CHORUS
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table and on to the floor
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.
It rolled in the garden and under a bush
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty as tasty could be
And early next summer, it grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered with beautiful balls.
It grew lovely meatballs and tomato sauce.
So when you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,
Hold onto your meatball and don’t ever sneeze.
AH CHOO!

ROUNDS
Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty,
The longer you wear them the blacker they get.
Someday I think I should wash them but something keeps telling me
Don’t do it yet…not yet…not yet…
Music Alone Shall Live
All things shall perish from under the sky.
Music alone shall live.
Music alone shall live.
Music alone shall live, never to die.
White Coral Bells
White coral bells upon a slender stalk,
Lilies of the valley deck my garden walk.
Oh, don’t you wish that you could hear them ring?
That will happen only when the fairies sing.
Whene’er You Make a Promise
Whene’er you make a promise,
Consider well it’s importance.
Then when made,
Engrave it upon your heart.
Make New Friends
Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver and the other gold.
A circle’s round, it has no end.
That’s how long I want to be your friend.
I have a hand and you have another.
Put them together and we have each other.

Up in my head to stay.

The Hippopotamus Song
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 cake and candy that make him fat.
That’s not what hippos do.
CHORUS: Theyyyyy ooze through the goo without any shoes.
They wade underwater ‘til their lips turn blue.
That’s what makes a hippopotamus,
That’s what makes a hippopotamus,
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 tune on the old violin
Or listening to the whistling wind.
That’s not what hippos do.
