The Stars Tonight
(Tune: Deep In The Heart Of Texas)
The stars tonight, are outta sight, (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Here at our Cub Scout Day Camp
The skits Scouts do will amaze you, (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Here at our Cub Scout Day Camp
The songs they sing will laughter bring (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Here at our Cub Scout Day Camp
So everyone, come join the fun, (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Here at our Cub Scout Day Camp
Oh Give Me The Sky
(Tune: Home On The Range)
Oh, give the sky, where I like to fly.
Where the birds and the airplanes go by..
Where often is heard
just a whirlybird.
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Chorus:
Up, up in the sky.
Where the birds and the insects go by,
Where often it's heard just a whirlybird.
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
How often at night when the skies are bright,
With the light from the glittering stars,
Have I stood here amazed and asked as I gazed,
If I could touch one of those hot stars.
Chorus
Oh, give me a sky where the bright yellow sun,
Glows brightly down long, long sunbeams,
Where graceful white kites,
go gliding along
Like white sheets in my silly day dreams.
Chorus
Where the sky is so pure,
the west winds so free,
The breezes so balmy and light.
That I could always fly my plane in the sky.
Through all of the big cities bright.
Chorus
Song for A Space Theme
(Tune: Clementine)
Chorus:
On the launch pad, on the launch pad,
We can see for miles around.
In a second we have lift-off
With our ship high off the ground.
Chorus:
Into space now, into space now
Heading for the great unknown.
Shooting stars with tails blazing.
This could be the twilight zone.
Chorus:
Total darkness now surrounds us
And our bodies have no weight.
Oh my goodness!
There's my napkin,
Cup and saucer and my plate.
Chorus:
There's the moon now right before us
Glowing silvery and gray.
How I long to tale a picture
But my camera floats away.
Chorus:
Moving onward through the darkness
Where the stars so brightly shine.
I'm amazed at what's before us.
So I continue down the line.
Chorus
Moon Walk
(Tune: La Cucaracha)
I have a spaceship,
I have a spaceship,
and I will fly it to the moon.
I have a spaceship,
I have a space ship,
and I will go there very soon.
And when I get there,
and when I get there,
I will walk upon the moon.
And I will see it,
and I will like it.
Oh it will be so very cool!
Stars and Planets
(Tune: Swanee River)
Way up among the stars and planets,
Far, far in space.
That's where we'll find the life and knowledge,
To live out there some day.
If you search the Milky Way,
You may find life there.
Way up among the stars and planets,
Far out in Outer Space
Spacemen
(tune: Down by the Station)
Down by the rockets
Early in the morning.
See the spacemen waiting
For the time to go.
Rockets fueled and ready
Pushing all the buttons
Roar! Roar! Woosh! Woosh!
Off they go.
The Astronaut’s Plea
(tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
I went for a ride in a spaceship,
The moon and the planets to see.
I went for a ride in a spaceship,
And listen to what happened to me.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my spaceship to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my spaceship to me.
I went for a ride on a spaceship
The capsule was crowded and I
Developed a cramp in my muscles.
So I took a walk in the sky.
Chorus
I went for a walk in my spacesuit
The ship was controlled from the ground
And someone in charge down at NASA
Forgot I was walking around.
Chorus
JUNIOR BIRDMAN
()
Up in the air junior birdman
Up in the air upside down
Up in the air junior birdman
Don’t let your tail feathers touch the ground
When you hear the whistle blow…toot toot
And you see the badge of tin…tin tin
Then you know that Junior Birdman,
has sent his box tops in.
What does it take?
It takes 1 box top,
Or 2 box sides,
Or 3 box bottoms.
It takes thin dime
Or 2 fat nickels
Or 10 shiny pennies.
B-i-r-d-m-a-n
Birdman, Birdman, Zooooom
Life on other Planets "World of Tomorrow"
(tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
Last Night as I lay on my pillow,
And drifted off slowly to sleep.
I thought of the world of tomorrow
These thoughts through my mind did creep.
A computer will do all my homework,
A robot will do all the chores,
If I spend the whole day just playing,
I fear that I may become bored.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back
O bring back the old days to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back the old days to me.
My jet powered bike will be speedy,
I'll fly in my spaceship to Mars,
But what if I get lost in space,
And can't find my way through the stars?
Chorus
My parents will have their own rocket,
We'll travel through space very quick,
I'm not sure I'll like that fast travel,
I may even get space sick.
Chorus
Our family might move to Venus,
I don't know what we would find there,
I'd sure miss my friends back on Earth,
They're the best friends I'll find anywhere.
Chorus
Dehydrated food for breakfast,
Dehydrated food for lunch,
Oh what I would give for a Big Mac
And potato chips that I can crunch.
Chorus
THE FAMILY OF THE SUN
(The Farmer in the Dell)
Chorus:
The family of the Sun,
The family of the Sun.
Here are nine planets in
the family of the Sun.
Verses:
Mercury is hot,
And Mercury is small.
Mercury has no atmosphere.
It's just a rocky ball.
(Chorus)
Venus has thick clouds,
That hide what is below.
The air is foul, the ground is hot,
It rotates very slow.
(chorus)
We love the Earth, our home,
Its oceans and its trees.
We eat its food, we breathe its air,
So no pollution, please.
(chorus)
Mars is very red.
It's also dry and cold.
Someday you might visit Mars
If you are really bold.
(Chorus)
Great Jupiter is big.
We've studied it a lot.
We found it has 16 moons
And a big red spot.
(Chorus)
Saturn has great rings.
We wondered what they were.
Now we know they're icy rocks
Which we saw as a blur.
(Chorus)
Uranus and Neptune
We don't know much about.
Maybe you will study them
And then we'll all find out.
(Chorus)
Pluto's last in line.
It's farthest from the Sun.
It's small and cold and icy too.
To land there won't be fun.
The family of the Sun,
The family of the Sun,
There are nine planets and
Now our journey's done
SOLAR SYSTEM SONG
(tune of This Old Man)
(* chorus)
Planets go 'round the sun.
Sing about them everyone.
With a round, round, go around
Planets 'round the sun
Sing about them everyone.
Mercury, number one. It's the closest to the sun. *
Venus bright, number two. Morning and evening star we view.*
Planet Earth, number three. We live on it, you and me.*
Planet Mars, number four. Named for a Roman god of war.*
Number five, Jupiter. Colored clouds around it stir.*
Number six, big Saturn. Many rings around it turn.*
Number seven, Uranus. It looks blue and green to us.*
Number eight, story Neptune. Triton is it's frozen moon.*
Number nine, tiny Pluto. Farthest from the sun, you know.
With a round, round, go around
Planets 'round the sun
Sing about them everyone
Grand Old Captain Kirk
(The Grand Old Duke of York)
The Grand Old Captain Kirk,
He had ten thousand men.
He beamed them up (stand)
To the Enterprise,
And he beamed them down (crouch) again.
And when you’re up you’re up (stand)
And when you’re down you’re down (crouch)
And when you’re only halfway up (crouch partway)
You are nowhere to be found (wave arms around)
Star Wars
(to the tune of Are you sleeping)
R2D2, R2D2,
C3PO, C3PO,
Obi Wan Kenobi,
Obi Wan Kenobi,
Han Solo, Han Solo
Yoda
(to the tune of Lola by the Kinks)
I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S-O-D-A, soda
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him for his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y-O-D-A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"
Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
but, I won't forget what Yoda said
He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Scout Vespers
(O Tannenbaum)
Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away;
Silently each Scout should ask,
'Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to Be Prepared?'
Listen Lord O Listen Lord,
as I whisper soft and low.
Bless my Mom and bless my Dad,
there is something they ought to know.
I will keep my honor bright,
the Oath and Law will be my guide.
And Mom and Dad this you should know,
deep in my heart I love you so.
Quietly we join as one,
Thanking God for Scouting fun,
May we now go on our way.
Thankful for another day.
May we always love and share,
Living in peace beyond compare,
As Scouts may we find,
Friendships true with all mankind.
Quietly we now will part,
Pledging ever in our heart,
To strive to do our best each day,
As we travel down life's way.
Happiness we'll try to give,
Trying a better life to live,
Till all the world
Be joined in love,
Living in peace under skies above.
Hiking In The Woods
(Tune: "She'll Be Coming 'Round The Mountain")
We'll be hiking in the woods from dawn to dusk.
We'll be hiking in the woods from dawn to dusk.
We’ll be hiking in the woods, yes, we'll be hiking in the woods;
Yes, we'll be hiking in the woods from dawn to dusk.
We'll be swatting fat mosquitoes as we go. Etc.
We'll be tripping over tree roots as we go. Etc.
We'll be scratching poison ivy on our arms. Etc.
We'll be slashing every puddle that we see. Etc.
We'll all be glad to see our beds tonight. Etc.
Can't Tie This Knot
(Tune: "Reveille" )
I can't tie this knot; I can't tie this knot;
I can't tie this knot they showed me.
I can't tie his knot; I can't tie this knot;
I can't tie his knot at all.
My Leader's patience's waning;
My Den Chief's color's draining,
I can't tie this knot; I can't tie this knot;
I can't tie this knot at all.
I don't know this leaf...(etc>)
I can't grasp botany's jive-ey,
Hope it's not poison ivy.
I don't know this leaf...(etc.)
I can't cross this creek...(etc.)
My Den Chief's way too bossy;
Those stones look wet and mossy,
I can't cross this creek...(etc.)
Bug Juice
(On Top of Old Smokey)
At Ft. Clatsop Day Camp, they gave us a drink.
We thought it was Kool-Aid, because it was pink.
But the thing that they told us would’ve grossed out a moose.
For that great tasting pink drink was really bug juice.
It looked fresh and fruity, like tasty Kool-Aid.
But the bugs that were in it were murdered with Raid!
We drank it by gallons ‘cause we couldn’t stop.
But we never noticed the bugs floating on top.
At Ft. Clatsop Day Camp, they gave us a drink.
We thought it was Kool-Aid, because it was pink.
So the next time you drink bug juice and a fly drives you mad.
He’s just getting even ‘cause you swallowed his dad.
Fried Ham Song
Fried ham, fried ham
Cheese and bologna
And after the macaroni
We’ll have onions, pickles and pretzels
And then we’ll have some more fried ham,
Fried ham, fried ham!
Same song, second verse, English accent little bit worse ...
Same song, third verse, Southern accent little bit worse ...
Same song, fourth verse, Opera style little bit worse ...
Same song, fifth verse, Robot style little bit worse ...
Same song, sixth verse, Tongue stuck to teeth little bit worse ...
and on and on and on ...
