Scout Songs

Waltzing Matilda

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Chorus:
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers - one, two, three,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman, and sprang into the billabong,
You'll never catch me alive said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.


Traditional Australian - almost became the official national anthem a few years ago. Pity it didn't! The chosen song is full of pomp and ceremony, fancy words and downright rubbish.

-- Thanks to David Morrison, Manager, Networks and Comms, Uni of Newcastle, Australia



Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine,
Lived a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine.

Chorus
Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine.

Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine.

Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine,
Alas for me! I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine.

In a churchyard near the canyon, where the myrtle doth entwine,
There grow roses and other posies, fertilized by Clementine.

Then the miner, forty-niner, soon began to peak and pine,
Thought he oughter join his daughter, now he's with his Clementine.

In my dreams she still doth haunt me, robed in garments soaked in brine,
While in life I used to hug her, now she's dead I draw the line.

How I missed her, how I missed her, how I missed my Clementine,
Until I kissed her little sister, and forgot my Clementine.

Now ye Scouts all heed the warning to this tragic tale of mine,
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation would have saved my Clementine.


Tie Me Kangaroo Down

The first verse is almost spoken or narrated


There's an old Australian stockman - lying, dying...
And he gets himself up onto one elbow
And turns to his mates who are all gathered around
And he says....

I'm going, Blue; this you gotta do,
I'm not gonna pull through, Blue, so this you gotta do . . .

Chorus:
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down.

Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed.
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So, watch me wallabies feed.

(chorus)

Let me wombats go loose, Bruce,
Let me wombats go loose.
They're of no further use, Bruce,
So let me wombats go lose.

(chorus)

Keep me cockatoo cool, curl
Keep me cockatoo cool.
Don't go actin' the fool, curl
Just keep me cockatoo cool.

(chorus)

Take me koala back, Jack
Take me koala back.
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mack
So, take me koala back.

(chorus)

Mind me platypus duck, Bill
Mind me platypus duck.
Don't let him go running amuck, Bill
Just, mind me platypus duck.

(chorus)

Play your digeridoo, Blue
Play your digeridoo.
(Dying) Like, keep playing it 'til I shoot through, Blue
Play your digeridoo.

(chorus)

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead.
So, we tanned his hide, when he died, Clyde
And that's it hangin' on the shed.

(chorus)

-- Thanks to Lew Orans

The MacScouter's Songs for Scouts and Scouters collection has grown quite large. It has now expanded beyond Gross Songs to include some good old Campfire Songs, silly songs and chants and songs for Leaders. The Campfire Songs I have tried to include here are ones that are not that easy to find. You may not find some very familiar songs here. Turns out that lots of songs we sing around the campfire are copyrighted and cannot be reproduced on a Web Site. I will continue to seek songs that can be placed here, while avoiding any copyright infringement.

The Grand Old Captain Kirk

Tune: "A-Hunting We Will Go"



The Grand Old Captain Kirk
He Had A Thousand Men,
He Beamed 'em Up To The Enterprise
Everyone stands up
And Beamed 'em Down Again.
Everyone sits down
And When You're Up Your Up,
Everyone stands up
And When You're Down Your Down,
Everyone sits down
And When You're Only Half Way Up,
Everyone half-way up
You're Nowhere to Be Found.

Pizza

Cheese (repeat)
Cheese Sauce (repeat)
Anchovies (repeat)
Pizza (repeat)
Eatta Lotta Eatta Lotta Eatta Lotta Pizza (repeat)
Oh No Don't Drop The Pizza (repeat)
If You Drop The Pizza Nobody Eatza (repeat)
Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble Belch (repeat)

Purple Stew

Making a purple stew, whip, whip
Whip Whip Whip (pretend to stir a huge bowl, circular motion with arms)
Making a purple stoobie-doobie-oobie-doobie
Purple potatoes, and purple tomatoes and (pretend to throw things in from over your shoulder)
You in my purple stew. (person in middle points to someone)
Fancy meeting you in my purple stew. (the two shake hands)

Everyone stands in a circle while one person stands in the middle. While you are singing the song perform the actions. When you say "You in my purple stew" the person in the middle points to someone and that person joins the middle. On "Fancy meeting you..." the person who was just pulled into the circle shakes hands with the person who brought him there.

Scouting Spirit

Tune: "Joy in My Heart"



I've got that Scouting spirit,
Up in my head,
Up in my head,
Up in my head,
I've got that Scouting spirit,
Up in my head,
Up in my head to stay.

I've got that Scouting spirit,
Deep in my heart
continue as in first verse

I've got that Scouting spirit,
Down in my feet
continue as in first verse

I've got that Scouting spirit,
All over me
continue as in first verse

I've got that Scouting spirit,
Up in my head,
Deep in my heart,
Down in my feet,
I've got that Scouting spirit,
All over me,,
All over me to stay.

Akela's Trail

Tune: It's A Small World

It's a world of fun, it's a world of joy,
And a smile comes easy to every boy.
Things that we've learned today,
Lead along Akela's way.
We are Cub Scouts after all.

Chorus:
We are Cub Scouts after all,
To all Cub Scouts send the call.
Show Akela we stand tall,
We are Cub Scouts after all.

When we seek our quest, we will do our best,
On Akela's trail, we will never fail.
Without any doubt's,
We will be loyal Scouts.
We are Cub Scouts after all.

Chorus

A Scout Is: The Boy Scout's Anthem

Tune: Away in a Manger
Submitted by: Bill Hafker



A scout is a young man who lives by a code,
To protect his honor, and take the high road,
He faces temptation, but doesn't give in,
The scout law gives him the foundation to win.

A scout is trustworthy, he's loyal, true blue,
Helpful, friendly, courteous to me and to you
Kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty every cent,
A scout is brave, clean, and reverent.

A scout is trustworthy, faithful to the end,
In keeping his promises, you can depend,
He's loyal to family, school, and to friends,
And to our great nation that he defends.

A scout is helpful to all those in need,
Reward he seeks not, it is just a good deed,
He's friendly to people, all races and creeds,
A trait that he knows that the world sorely needs.

A scout is courteous, says "please" and "thank you",
It's something he learned as a child to do,
He is also kind, he's not spiteful or snide,
It's strong to be gentle, he knows deep inside.

A scout is obedient of rules that are there,
And works from within to change those deemed unfair,
He's cheerful, he smiles, looks for the bright side,
And helps dry the tears of others who've cried.

A scout is thrifty, of his goods he takes care,
And protects the world, and the things God put there,
He's brave, but not foolish, does not pick a fight,
But always defends what he knows to be right.

A scout is clean in thought, word, and deed,
Helps others to learn and to share these beliefs,
He is always reverent of our God above,
Reaches out to others to share His great love.

On my honor I will do my best,
To God and my country, to face every test,
To obey the Scout Law, help others always,
Be strong, and be wise, and morally straight.

A scout is a young man who's lived and who's dared,
To always help others, and to be prepared,
Come join the adventure, like others who knew,
A good turn done daily, the world does renew.

Scouting makes the future a bright thing to view!

I Am a Cub Scout




I am a Cub Scout
And a very happy boy.
With a uniform of blue and gold
And a den that gives me joy.
I am a Cub Scout
Earning badges one by one
I do my best and I meet the test
A god citizen I've become.
I help out other people when
I see they need a lot.
I do my chores around the house
And I feed my dog named spot.
I am a Cub Scout
Doing my duty willingly.
Someday I'll join a boy scout troop
And a fine man I will be.



Take Me Out to the Scout Camp

Tune: "Take Me Out to the Ballpark"



Take me out to the scout camp,
Take me out with my Troop,
Buy me some goodies and leathercrafts,
I don't care if I ever get back,
For it's swim, shoot, climb with the camp staff
If they're not trained it's a shame
For it's 1, 2, 3 miles you hike at the old scout camp



Scout Camp





The busses that you ride in, they say are mighty fine,
But when they turn a corner, they leave the wheels behind.

Chorus
Oh, I donʼt want to go to Boy/Girl Scout Camp.
Gee, Mom, I want to go, but they wonʼt let me go;
Gee, Mom, I want to go home.

The leaders that they have here, they say are mighty fine,
But when you get up closer, they look like frankenstein.

The first aid that they give you, they say is mighty fine,
But if you cut your finger, youʼre left with only nine.

The water that they have here they say is mighty fine,
But when you try to drink it, it tastes like turpentine.

The biscuits that they serve you, they say are mighty fine,
But one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine.

The spaghetti that they serve you, they say is mighty fine
They rinse it the toilet and drain it on the line.

The cocoa that they serve you, they say is mighty fine
Itʼs good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine.

The tents/cabins that you sleep in, they say are mighty fine,
But whoever said this has never slept in mine.

The toilets that they have here are the best that they can get,
Last night my tent mate had to go, they havenʼt found him yet.

.

Taps





Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.



HELLO MUDDAH, HELLO FADDAH
(A LETTER FROM CAMP)[/b]

TUNEance of the Hours


Hello Muddah, hello Faddah,
Here I am at camp Grenada.

Camp is very entertaining,
And they say we'll have some fun
if it stops raining.

I went hiking with Joe Spivey,
He developed poison ivy.
You remember Leonard Skinner,
He got Ptomaine poisoning
last night after dinner.

All the counsellors
hate the waiters,
And the lake has alligators.
And the head coach wants no sissies,
So he reads to us from something
called Ulysses.

Now I don't want
this should scare ya',
But my bunkmate has Malaria.
You remember Jeffery Hardy,
They're about to organize
a searching party.


Take me home, oh Muddah, Faddah,
Take me home, I hate Grenada. ;
Don't leave me out in the forest
where,
I might get eaten by a bear.
Take me home,
I promise I will not make noise,
or mess the house with other boys,
Oh please don't make me stay,
I've been here one whole day...


Dearest Muddah, Darling Faddah,
How's my precious little bruddah?
Let me come home if you miss me,
I would even let Aunt Bertha
hug and kiss me !
Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing,
Guys are swimming, Guys are sailing!
Playing baseball, gee that's bettah,
Muddah, Faddah kindly disregard this letter!!!
