Alligator
(This is a repeat song. Repeat each line as it appears)

The alligator is my friend
He can be your friend too
If only you would understand
That he has feelings too

Refrain:
Alligator
Allllllligator
AAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLIGATOR (this last one, you hold as long as you can)
He can be a friend, be a friend, be a friend, too

The alligator is my friend
He can be your friend too
I'd rather have him as my friend
Than have him as a shoe

The alligator is my friend
He likes to wink and flirt
I'd rather have him as my friend
Than wear him as a shirt

The alligator is my friend
He likes to help the earth
I'd rather have him as my friend
Than have him as a purse

The alligator ate my friend
He can eat your friend too
If only you would understand
That he has hunger too!

Animal Fair

We went to the animal fair, the birds and the beasts were there,
The big baboon by the light of the moon was combing his auburn hair.
The monkey, he got drunk, and fell on the elephants trunk,
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees,
And that was the end of the monk! (The monk, the monk,  the . . . etc.)

When you’re up, you’re up
When you’re down, you’re down
But when you’re only halfway up
You’re neither up nor down

Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb

Its fleece was white as snow

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty back together again!

Baby Bumblebee

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me,
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee.
Ouch! he stung me!

I'm squashing up my baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me,
I'm squashing up my baby bumblebee.
Ooh, now its all over my hands!

I'm licking up my baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm licking up my baby bumblebee.
Ooh, that made me sick!

I'm throwing up my baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me,
I'm throwing up my baby bumblebee.
Ooh, now the floor's all messy!

I'm scraping up my baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be proud of me,
I'm scraping up my baby bumblebee
Ouch! he stung me again!

Billboard Song

As I was walking down the street one dark and dreary day,
I came upon a billboard, and much to my dismay,
The sign was torn and tattered from the storm the night before
The wind and rain had done its job, and this is what I saw:

Smoke Coca Cola cigarettes, drink Wrigley's spearmint beer.
Cantle ration dog food makes the worst complexion clear.
Simonize your baby with a Hershey's candy bar
And Texaco's a beauty cream that's used by all the stars.

So take your next vacation in the brand new Frigid Air,
Learn to play the piano in your winter underwear.
Doctors say that babies should smoke 'til they are three,
And people over 65 should bathe in Lipton Tea
With flow through tea bags.....
 
 

Bill Grogan's Goat

(There are many different versions of this song. Here I have typed my favorite of the variations I know.)

Oh there was an old man  (Oh there was an old man)
And he lived in a shack (And he lived in a shack)
And he kept his goat (and he kept his goat)
Out in the back (out in the back)
One day that goat (one day that goat)
Was a feelin' fine (was a feelin fine)
Ate three red shirts (ate three red shirts)
Right off the line (right off the line)
Well Bill got mad (well Bill got mad)
And he gave him a whack (and he gave him a whack)
And he tied him to (and he tied him to)
A railroad track (a railroad track)
The whistle blew (the whistle blew)
As the train drew neigh (as the train drew neigh)
Bill Grogan's goat (Bill Grogan's goat)
Was doomed to die (was doomed to die)
He gave three groans (he gave three groans)
Three groans of pain (three groans of pain)
Coughed up those shirts (coughed up those shirts)
And flagged that train (and flagged that train)
Well Bill got mad again (well Bill got mad again)
And he bought a big stamp (and he bough a big stamp)
And he sent him to (and he sent him to)
A Girl Scout Camp (A Girl Scout Camp)
Now the goat is doomed (now the goat is doomed)
Never to be free (never to be free)
And to spend his life (and to spend his life)
At Tohikanee (At Tohikanee)
And they named him Willy.....
 
 

Black Socks

Black socks, they never get dirty, the longer you wear them the blacker they get
Sometimes I think I should wash them, something inside me keeps saying 'not yet'
not yet not yet not yet.....

Brownie Smile Song
(This song was originally just for Brownies, but other verses have been added for all age levels)

Daisy:
"I've something in my pocket…
"That's what the big girls say.
I'll have a pocket of my own,
When I wear brown someday.

My life is bright and easy,
I smile most of the day.
I'm having lots of fun now,
I sing and laugh and play!

Brownie:
I've something in my pocket…
That belongs across my face.
I keep it very close at hand
In a most convenient place.

I bet you'll never guess it
If you guess a long, long while
I'll put it on and show you,
It's my great big Brownie Smile.

Junior:
"I've something in my pocket..."
That's what I used to say.
I spent my time so aimlessly,
At home, at school, at play.

Now every day is special,
I'm searching, who am I?
Only I can find that out
Please let me have a try!

Cadette:
"I've something in my pocket..."
That's what I used to say.
Playing childhood games with friends,  -
Seems just like yesterday.

I'm becoming a young woman,
Soon I'll be a child no more,
There's lots of opportunity,
And so much to explore.

Senior:
"I've something in my pocket..."
That's what I used to say.
Then Mother Nature waved her hand
And childhood flew away.

Today my needs are different,
I wonder, 'What will be?'
I'm making life decisions now,
The choice is up to me.
 


Bubble Gum

1. My mommy gave me a penny
    To go and see Jack Benny
    But I didn’t see Jack Benny
    Instead! I bought bubble gum

Refrain:
Baroomba roomba bubble gum
Baroomba roomba bubble gum

2. Nickel to go and buy a pickle
3. Dime to go and buy a lime
4. Quarter to go and pay the porter
5. Dollar to go to the ice cream parlor
6. My mommy gave me a five
    She told me to stay alive
    But I didn’t stay alive
    Instead! I choked on bubble gum
 
 


Buffalo Song

Out on the winds swept deserts
Where nature knows no man
A buffalo spied her brother
A lying in the sand in the sand
Said the buffalo to her brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer:
He's been dead since way last May
Since way last May....
 
 

Bugle Song

Someday I'm going to murder the bugler
Someday they're gonna find him dead
And then I'll take his revelry
And step upon it heavily
And then I'll spend the rest of my life in bed!

Oh how I hate to get up in the morning
Oh how I hate to get out of bed!
But the hardest call of all is to hear the bugler call:
"It's time to get up, It's time to get up, It's time to get up this morning"
"It's time to get up, It's time to get up, It's time to get out of bed."

Someday I'm going to murder the bugler
Someday they're gonna find him dead!
And then I'll get the other pup, the one that wakes the bugler up,
"You gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up this morning"
"You gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up this morn".
 
 

Bug Juice
(To the tune of 'On Top of Old Smokey)

At camp with the Girl Scouts, they gave us a drink.
We thought it was Koolaid, because it was pink.

But the thing that they told us, would have grossed out a moose
For that good tasting pink drink was really bug juice

It looked fresh and fruity, like tasty Koolaid
But the bugs that were in it, were murdered with raid.

We drank by the gallons, we drank by the tons
But then the next morning, we all had the runs

Next time you drink bug juice and a fly drives you mad,
He's just getting even, 'cause you swallowed his dad.
 


Button Factory

Hi
My name is Joe
And I work in a button factory
One day, my boss came up to me and said:
"Hey Joe. Are you busy?"
And I say "no"
So he says, "Push this button with your right hand."

Left hand
Right foot
Left foot

Hi
My name is Joe
And I work in a button factory
One day, my boss came up to me and said:
"Hey Joe. Are you busy?"
And I say "yes!"
