Lord of the Dance
I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
At bethelehem I had my birth:
Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he!
(...Lead you all in the dance, said he!)
I danced for the scribe and the pharisee
But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen, for peter james and john
They came with me and the dance went on:
Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he!
(...Lead you all in the dance, said he!)
I danced on the sabbath and I healed the lame
The holy people said it was a shame!
They whipped me and stripped me and hung me high
And left me there on a cross to die!
Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he!
(...Lead you all in the dance, said he!)
I danced on a friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone
But I am the dance and I still go on!
Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he!
(...Lead you all in the dance, said he!)
They cut me down but I leap up high
I am the life that will never never die!
I'll live in you if you'll live in me
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he!

There Was An Old Woman
There was an old woman who swallowed a fly,
I don't know why she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a bird,
How absurd! to swallow a bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a cat,
Imagine that! to swallow a cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a dog,
What a hog! to swallow a dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a goat,
Just opened her throat! to swallow a goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a cow,
I don't know how she swallowed a cow!
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a horse,
She's dead—of course!
Great Big God
Our God is a great big God.
Our God is a great big God.
Our God is a great big God.
And He holds us in His hands.
He's higher than a skyscraper.
He's deeper than a submarine.
He's wider than the universe.
And beyond my wildest dreams.
And He's known me and He's loved me
since before the world began.
How wonderful to be a part of God's amazing plan!
Nelly in the barn. Song
Lyrics
The cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn,
The cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn,
The cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn,
and the farmer said it would do no harm,
SECOND verse same as the FIRST, a little bit louder and a little bit worse.
The cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn,
The cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn,
The cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn,
and the farmer said it would do no harm,
THIRD verse same as the FIRST, a little bit louder and a little bit worse.
Action
Start off singing at a whisper and get louder on each verse, until you are as loud as you can go so the whole camp site can hear you, cubs love this!
When you sing the line 'SECOND verse same as the first a little bit louder and a little bit worse.'change the first word E.G 'SECOND'.. TO THE RELEVANT LINE YOU ARE ON, SO IF YOU WERE ON THE EIGHTH VERSE IT WOULD SING 'EIGHTH verse same as the first....'
CommentCubs absolutely love this song, it's a silly but fun song for them, and is one of the best songs to start off a camp fire with.
I sang it with my pack for the first time and the next day they were all singing it when ever they could. the cubs love to see their leaders make a fool of themselves at the camp fire!!
A great song that can go on as long as you want it too.
AT THE QUARTERMASTER STORE? Song
Lyrics
There were mice mice, eating all the rice
In the stores (In the where?)
In the stores (Say it again)
There were mice mice eating all the rice
In the Quartermaster`stores (behind the doors)
Chorus
My eyes are dim I cannot see
I have not brought my specs with me
I have not brought my specs with me. (or I left my specs in the lavatory)
This is another song where the rest of the verses follow the same format and again there are lots of
them, with new ones made up all the time
Gravy gravy, enough to sink the navy
Cheese cheese, that brought you to your knees
Soup soup, supposed to feed the group
Chip chips, as big as battleships
Rats rats, as big as alley cats
Ventures Ventures wearing plastic dentures
Bread bread, as hard as ??ead
Skip skip, looking a bit of a drip
Scouts scout, chewing on some sprouts
