BANJO SONG

(The key to this song is to sound like a banjo by altering the words..
I u-dooloo-sed to ha- delave an o-delo banjo-delo...)

I used to have an old banjo, that rested on my knee.
But now the strings are broken down, it's no more use to me.

I took it to the menders shop, to see what he could do.
He said the strings are broken down, it's no more use to you.


BLACK CROW SPIRITS (Basically the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic)

Black crow spirits in the happy hunting ground
Black crow spirits in the happy hunting ground
Black crow spirits in the happy hunting ground, far far away
(YELL) 2, 3, 4
Hiya, Hiya, Hiya, Watha
Minnie, Minnie, Minnie, Haha
Hiya, Hiya, Hiya, Watha, Far far away!
(Now you sing the same words, but you will gradually add actions
instead. Black crow: Caw and flap wings. Spirits: Make drinking
motions.(GLug glug) In the Happy hunting ground: bow and arrow
motions.(PING) Far far away: Hand over eyes searching)

Don't forget to clap and stamp those feet during Hiya, Hiya...


BOA CONSTRICTOR (Basically the tune My Eyes Have Seen the Glory)

(Begin this song standing, and as you progressively get eaten
go down onto the ground, so you end up flat on the floor)

CHORUS: I'm being swallowed by a Boa Constrictor,
A Boa Constrictor, A Boa Constrictor.
I'm being swallowed by a Boa Constrictor, and I don't like it
at all!

verse 2 Oh me, oh me, he swallowed my knee!

CHORUS

BOOGIE WOOGIE WASHER WOMAN

Deep in the jungle where nobody goes
There's a Boogie Woogie Washer Woman washin her clothes
With a scrub scrub here and a scrub scrub there
The Boogie Woogie Washer Woman washin her clothes!
Na na na na, na na na, a boogie, a boogie
Na na na na, na na na, a boogie, a boogie
Na na na na, na na na, a boogie, a boogie
The Boogie Woogie Waher Woman washin her clothes, yeah!


CHINESE FAN
Public Domain

(My girls moan about this really active song, but they secretly
love it. The girls sit in circle, with legs stretched out for this.)

My ship sailed from china with a cargo of tea,
All laden with treasures for you and for me.
They brought me a fan,
Just imagine my bliss!
As I fanned myself gaily, like this, like this, like this, like this
1. Fan one hand.
2. Fan two hands.
3. Fan two hands, cross one leg.
4. Fan two hands, crossing both legs.
5. Fan two hands, crossing both legs, nodding head.


DUTCH SHOE GAME (The girls all sit in circle and remove one shoe
on the italicized words they pass their one shoe to the right
when you come to "do just what I do" they go right, left, right
and then release the shoe. Continue the song until the girls have
their own shoe.

I will PASS this SHOE from me TO you to YOU,
I will PASS this SHOE, and DO just what I DO.


GA GOO (Great song for the Guides to teach Brownies/Sparks

Ga goo went the little green frog one day,
Ga goo went the little green frog.
Ga goo went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went ga ga goo!
Now you know frogs go la di da di da, la di da di da, la di da di da
Now you know frogs go la di da di da, never go ga goo!


GOING TO KENTUCKY
(One girl is chosen to be in the centre and the others join hands
and skip around her, doing the actions when the words coincide.
The girl in the centre will close her eyes and pick the next to
go in the centre. She rejoins the circle.)

We're going to Kentucky, we're going to the fair
To see the senorita with flowers in her hair!
Shake it baby, shake it, shake it all you can.
Shake it like a milkshake and put it in a can.
Oh rumble to the bottom, rumble to the top,
Turn around and turn around until you make a stop!


GOING ON A LION HUNT (Repeat song)

CHORUS: Going on a lion hunt
gonna catch a big one
I'm not scared

Oh no...a tree
Can't go over it..can't go under it..can't go thru it..
Gotta go around it!
CHORUS
Oh no...a bridge
Can't go under it..can't go around it..can't go thru it..
Gotta go over it!
CHORUS
Oh no...mud
Can't go over it..can't go under it..can't go around it..
Gotta go thru it!
CHORUS
Oh no...a cave
Can't go over it..can't go under it..can't go around it..
Gotta go thru it!
CHORUS
Oh no! A LION! Out of the cave, thru the mud, over the bridge
around the tree, PHEW, safe!
(Don't forget to slap those knees when walking and make actions
appropriate to the verse, and the last one run home!)


GOOSE (Four Part Round, getting quicker as you go)

Why doesn't my goose,
Sing as well as thy goose?
] When I paid for my GOOSE
Twice as much as thine?
(The girls sit on there knees for this and when each group gets to the
GOOSE, they rise up onto their knees.)


GRAND OLD DUKE OF YORK

The Grand old Duke of York, he had ten thousand 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
And when they were only halfway up they were neither up nor down.


I'M A NUT

CHORUS: I'm a nut * *
I'm a nut * *
I'm a nut, I'm a nut, I'm a nut * *

I'm a little acorn brown, lying on the cold, cold ground
Everybody steps on me, that is why I'm cracked you see!

CHORUS

Called myself on the telephone, just to see if I'm at home
Ask myself out on a date, not any later than a half past eight

CHORUS

Take myself to themovie show, sit myself in the second row
Put my arm around my waist, if I get too fresh I slap my face!

CHORUS


IT'S A SMALL WORLD
Words and Music by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman

(Try this neat alteration: The girls all join hands save for one,
she will lead. As you sing, the girls walk in a circle, spiral fashion.
Once the girl leading gets to the middle of the spiral, turn around
and go the other way-out of the spiral. They will be coming out, as others are going in. It's pretty cool!)

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hope and a world of fears.
There's so much that we share, that it's time welre aware
It's a small world after all.

CHORUS: It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all, it;s a small small world.

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide,
It's a small world after all!


MOOSE (Repeat song, with actions)

There was a great big moose (hands like antlers to the side of head)
He liked to drink alot of juice (pretend to drink from a glass)
There was a great big moose (same)
He liked to drink alot of juice (same)
Singing Whoa (open hands and rock back and forth)
Way oh way oh way oh way oh (make circles with hands)
singing way oh way oh (arms outstretched and large circles)
Way oh way oh way oh way oh (circle hands and jump and kick feet)

He drank his juice with care (sing softer and same drinking motion)
But he spilled it on his hair (run hands down hair and wiggle)
He drank his juice with care (same)
But he spilled it on his hair (same)
Singing Whoa...

He's a moose
Full of Juice
On the Loose!
Singing Whoa...


ME STONE (This is a stone game from Trinidad, this one is alttle tough
because you pick up the stone on a rest and pass on the upbeat)

Poor little bug on the wall
No one to love him at all.
No one to wash his clothes, no one to tickle his toes
Poor little bug on the wall.

Each verse is the same words but in different styles, here
are some of the popular ones with my girls.
Deep voice, squeaky voice, Miss Piggy (Hi-ya! Karate chop),
operator (pinch nose), underwater, typewriter, opera.


PRINCESS PAT (Repeat song)

The Princess Pat
Lived in a tree
She saied across
The seven seas
She sailed across
The channel too
And took with her
A Ricka bamboo!
A Ricka Bamboo
Now what is that
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
I't red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
A ricka bamboo!
Now Captain Dan
And his loyal crew
They sailed across
The channel too
But their ship sank
And yous will too
If you don't take
A ricka bamboo
A ricka bamboo
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 Ricka Bamboo!


SHIRLEY TEMPLE

My name is Shirley Temple, and I have curly hair.
Because my knees have dimples, I wear my skirts up there! Wooh!

I've got the figure like Marilyn Monroe,
I've got the hair like Ginger Rodgers
And a face like and elephant's nose..so...
(One girl is chosen to skip in the middle of the circle. Have the girls
really work up those sexy legs, figure and hair do. When they say, so..
the girl in the middle picks a girl from the outer circle. This
continues until all the girls (and leaders) are participating!)


THREE SHARTRUCE BUZZARDS
3 shartruce buzzards, 3 shartruce buzzards, 3 shartruce buzzards

Oh look! One has REturned, let us REjoice! YEAH!!
Continue until they are back!
