Boatmen dance, boatman sing
Boatmen do most anything

When the boatmen come on the shore
They spend their money and then work for more

Hi ho the boatmen go
Up and down the river of the Ohio

Boom, Boom, Ain't it Great to be Crazy?
 
A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone shooting dice
The horse he slipped and fell on the flea
"Whoops," said the flea, "There's a horse on me!"

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Way down South where bananas grow
A flea stepped on an elephant's toe
The elephant cried, with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Way up North where there's ice and snow
There lived a penguin and his name was Joe
He got so tired of black and white
He wore pink slacks to the dance last night!

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Eli, Eli had some socks
A dollar a pair and a nickel a box
The more you wear 'em the better they get
And you put 'em in the water and they don't get wet!

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Called myself on the telephone
Just to hear that golden tone
Asked myself out for a date
Said be ready 'bout half-past eight!

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Took myself to the picture show
Sat myself on the very last row
Wrapped my arms around my waist
Got so fresh I slapped my face!

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?


Born Free

Born free, a heart must wander,
Born free, a heart must roam,
Out there, the hills over yonder seem to be calling me home.

Out there a restless wind blows,
That’s where I want to be,
I must go where the wind goes,
Just like the wind, I was born to be free.

My heart has no chains,
The world must be mine to explore,
The hills and the plains are waiting just outside my door.

Don’t wait for my returning,
There’s much that I must see.
I must follow this yearning,
Feed this fire that is burning,
I was born to be free.


Brownie Goodnight Song

Night is come, owls are out,
Beetles hum, round about.
Tip toe home, out they creep.
Brownies go home to sleep.


Brownie Hiking Song

We are the happy Brownies.
We are the busy elves.
We love to help each other,
And, of course, we help ourselves.
We wake up in the morning with
A smile upon each face,
And even if things don't go right,
We keep that smile in place.
We're the happy Brownies!


Brownie Smile Song

I’ve something in my pocket
It belongs across my face .
I keep it very close at hand
In a most convenient place.

I'm sure you couldn’t guess it
If you guessed a long, long while.
So, I'll take it out and put it on
It's a great big BROWNlE SMlLE


Bug Juice
(to the tune of "On Top of Old Smokey")

At camp with the (name of your unit here) Guides, 
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.


Can A Woman
She’ll be comin around the mountain

Can a woman fly an airplane? . Yes she can , yes she can  
Can a woman build a building? Yes she can, yes she can
Can a woman fight a fire, can a woman change a tire,
Can a woman lead a choir? Yes she can, yes. she can.

Can a woman be a lawyer? Yes she can, yes she can
Can a woman fix an engine? Yes she can, yes she can
Can a woman be a drummer, can a woman be a plumber
Can she play ball in the summer? Yes she can, yes she can.
 
Can a woman be a doctor.? Yes she can, yes she can
Can a woman drive a tractor? . Yes she can, yes she can
Can a woman lead a nation, can she run a TV station
Can she head a corporation? Yes she can, yes she can.

Just you wait until we're older then you'll see
We'll be women in tomorrow's history
As we grow up through the years
We will sing out loud and clear
Can we start the process here? Yes we can, yes we can!

Come Good Girl Scouts
(A grace sung to the tune 'Jesus Loves Me')

Come good Girl Scouts
Bow your heads
Thank the Lord for this good bread
Reverent Girl Scouts we will be
Accept our thanks
Oh Lord, from thee
