Worms Nobody likes me Everybody hates me Think Ill go eat some worms Long ones short ones Fat ones thin ones Worms that squiggle and squirm Bite their heads off Suck their guts out Throw their skins away Nobody know how much I thrive On worms three times a day Black socks Black socks they never get dirty They longer you wear them The blacker they get Each time I think I should launder them Something keeps telling me No no not yet not yet not yet. Pizza Hut A pizza hut, a pizza hut Kentucky fried chicken And a Pizza hut (2 times) Macdonalds, Macdonalds Kentucky Fried Chicken And a Pizza Hut (2 times) A Ford Escort, a Ford Escort A little red Mini And a Ford Escort (2 times) Ferrari, Ferrari, A little red Mini And a Ford Escort (2 times) My ship sailed from china My ship sailed from china With a cargo of tea All laden with presents For you and for me They bought me a fan Just imagine my bliss When I found myself going like this.... like this.... like this... Rattling bog Fine bog rattling bog Way down in the valley-o Fine bog rattling bog Way down in the valley-o And on that wing... There was a feather Fine feather... Rattling feather And the feather was on the wing And the wing was on the bird And the bird was in the nest And the nest was on the leaf And the leaf was on the twig And the twig was on the branch And the branch was on the bow And the bow was on the tree And the tree was in the bog... Thunderation Thunder thunder, thunderation We are the guide association When we work with determination We create a sensation Indians We are the red men tall and straight In our feathers and war paint Pow wow, pow wow Were the men of the old brown cow How! All of us are red men Feathers in our head men Down against the dead men Pow wow, pow wow. We can fight with sticks and stones Bow and arrows, bricks and bones Chorus We come home from distant shores Greeted by our long nosed squors. John Browns Bike John Browns bike has got a puncture in his tyre (x3) ...And he mended it with chewing gum. Wrigley, Wrigley Wrigley Wrigleys (x3) ....And he mended it with chewing gum.

Ford Im a little piece of tin Nobody know where I have been Got four wheels and a running board Im a ford, yes Im a ford Honk Honk, Rattle Rattle Crash Beep Beep Honk Honk, Rattle Rattle Crash Beep Beep Animal Fair I went to the animal fair The birds and the bees were there The big baboon by the light of the moon, was combing his auburn hair The monkey fell out of his bunk Slid down the elephants trunk The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees, but what became of the monkey monkey monkey Food Glorious Food Food terrible food Burnt Sausage and mustard Were not in the mood For cold porridge and custard Fried eggs with the edges black What next is the question Were all suffering from Indigestion Food terrible food Those soggy old cornflakes That lumpy hard fruit Thats all that our cook makes We have to eat the stuff Dont want to be rude But food, terrible food, Horrible food, Sickening food, Terrible food. Oh youll never go to heaven Oh youll never go to heaven I aint gonna grieve my lord no more I aint gonna grieve, I aint gonna worry, I aint gonna leave this world in a hurry, I aint gonna grieve my lord no more, anymore. Three Little Angels Three Little Angels All dress in white Tried to get to heaven On the end of a kite But the kite string was broken, Down they all fell Instead of going to heaven They all went to Devils in red bed Girl Guides blue - loo Boy scouts green washing machine Dont be mistaken, Dont be misled, Instead of going to heaven They all went to bed. There was a Crocodile There was a Crocodile and an orang-utan An eagle flying and a sliver fish A bunny, a beaver, a crazy elephant Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na... Captains, Lieutenants Captains they do nothing Lieutenants they do less Patrol Leaders do cooking And get into a mess Seconds they go wooding Because they want some sup But the poor little girl guides Do the dirty washing up Thats no way to treat the girl guides Thats no way to treat the girl guides Thats no way to treat the girl guides When they go off to camp Captains they have feather beds Lieutenants they have springs Patrol leaders have mattresses And think themselves the kings Seconds they have pillow slips Which they fill up with straw But the poor little girl guides Have to sleep on the floor Chorus Captains they have turkey Lieutenants they have duck

Patrol Leaders have sausages And think themselves in luck Seconds they have bull beef And sometimes they have spam But the poor little girl guides Get a piece of bread and jam Chorus Captains they have coffee Lieutenants they have tea Patrol Leaders have lemonade When they are on a spree Seconds they have orange juice And sometimes they have lime But the poor little girl guides Get water all the time Chorus Captains they have Yardleys Lieutenants they have Pears Patrol Leaders have scented soap And give themselves the airs Seconds they have sunlight soap To make their faces shine But the poor little girl guides Get Lifebuoy all the time Chorus Captains they get married Lieutenants get engaged Patrol leaders go courting Although there under aged Seconds they are trying hard And sometimes they succeed But the poor little girl guides Get scouts with knobbly knees Bodily actions Bodily actions, bodily actions Dobedi do, dobedi do, (2 times) I like this song theres not much to it All youve got to do is dobedi do it I like this song but the part I like best Is dobedi dobedi do OI! Edelweiss Every morning you greet me Edelweiss, Edelweiss Every morning you greet me Small and white, clean and bright You look happy to meet me Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever Edelweiss, Edelweiss Bless my homeland forever Land of the Silver Birch Land of the silver birch Home of the beaver Where still the mighty moose Wanders at will Blue lake and rocky shore I will return once more Boom didi I di, Boom didi I di Boom didi I di, Boom My heart is sick for you Here in the lowlands I will return to you Hills of the north Chorus Swift as a silver fish Canoe of birch bark Thy mighty waterways Carry me forth Chorus There where the blue lake lies Ill set my wigwam Close to the waters edge Silent and still Magic When I was young I thought the stars Were made for wishing on And every tree in every wood Would hide a leprechaun Old houses all had secret rooms If I could find the key I do believe in magic, I believe 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 As I grew up the adults said One day Id wake to find Magic was a childhood dream

Id have to leave behind Like clothes that would no longer fit And toys that Id ignore Id not believe in magic anymore Chorus When I grew up I learned again That much to my surprise Magic did not fade away Just took a new disguise A child, a smile, a friend, a song, The courage to stand tall I do believe in magic after all Chorus Angels All night, all day Angels watching over me my lord All night, all day Angels watching over me Day is dying in the west Angels watching over me my lord Sleep my child and take your rest Angels watching over me Chorus Now I lay me down to sleep Angels watching over me my lord I Pray the lord my soul to keep Angels watching over me Linger Id like to linger A little longer A little longer here with you Its such a quiet night Its doesnt seem quite right That I should end it here with you But when were older We will remember Our guiding days & friendships true And as the years go by Well know the reason why It was goodnight and not goodbye Bosom of Abraham Rocka my soul in the bosom of Abraham (3 times) Oh Rocka my soul Too high, cant get over it Too low , cant go under it Too wide, cant go round it Gotta go through that door. Go well and Safely Go well and safely (3 times) The Lord be ever with you Stay well and safely (3 times) The Lord be ever with you Say When Say when will we ever meet again Say why must we ever say goodbye Say where and Ill meet you right there Say when, Say why, Say where. Canadian Taps Softly fades the light of day As our evening fades away Silently each guide should ask Have I done my daily task? Have I kept my honour bright? Shall I guiltless sleep tonight? Have I done and have I dared Everything to be prepared? Taps Day is done Gone the sun From the sea, from the hills, from the sky All is well Safely rest God is nigh
