Girl Scout Spirit

I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit,
Up in my head, Up in my head, Up in my head,
I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit,
Up in my head, Up in my head to stay.

I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit,
Deep in my heart, Deep in my heart, Deep in my heart,
I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit,
Deep in my heart, Deep in my heart to stay.

I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit,
Down in my feet, Down in my feet, Down in my feet,*
I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit,
Down in my feet, Down in my feet to stay. 

I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit,
All over me, All over me, All over me,
I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit,
All over me, All over me to stay

I’ve got that Girl Scout Spirit,
Up in my head,
Deep in my heart,
Down in my feet,
I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit,
All over me, All over me, All ways.

Girl Scouts Together

Girl scouts together, 
That is our song,
Winding the old trails,
Rocky and long,
Learning our motto,
Living our creed,
Girl Scouts together,
In every good deed.

Girl scouts together,
Happy we are,
Friendly to neighbors,
Far o’er the sea;
Faithful to country,
Loyal to home.
Known as true Girl Scouts 
Wherever we roam.

Girl Scouts Will Shine Tonight

Girl Scouts will shine tonight
Girl Scouts will shine,
Girl Scouts will shine tonight
All down the line,
We’re all dressed up tonight
We’re feeling fine,
When the sun goes down and
The moon comes up,
Girl Scouts will shine.

Good Night Brownies

Good night Brownies, good night Brownies
Good night Brownies, we're sad to see you go
Merrily we march along, march along, march along
Merrily we march along, but we're glad to see you go.

Green Grass Grows
(in each verse, the leader sings a line and everyone repeats. Chorus is sung all together.)

Once upon a time 
There was a tree 
The purttiest tree 
That you ever did see! 

Chorus: 

     And the tree was in the ground 
     And the green grass grew all around, all around, 
     And the green grass grew all around! 

Now on that tree 
There was a branch 
Just the purttiest little branch 
That you ever did see! 

Chorus:

     And the branch was on the tree 
     And the tree was in the ground 
     And the green grass grew all around, all around 
     And the green grass grew all around! 

...add on twig, nest, egg, bird, wing, feather, flea, elephant!

Actions:

     Ground: move both arms out from the body horizontally (i.e. as a movie director would when saying "cut!") 
Tree: two hands trace parallel lines starting at the level of your head and heading downwards 
Branch: hold one arm out as a branch 
Twig: hold up your pinky finger 
Nest: cup your hands 
Egg: make a fist
Bird: one hand pointed forward at your face as a beak, the other sticking out behind as a tail 
Wing: flap one arm 
Feather: trace the path a feather would take as it falls through the air 
Flea: indicate something really small 
Elephant: trace the outline of something really big! 

Green, Green

Green, green, the color of spring,
I see a bird on the wing
A butterfly flutters by
And all of the world is filled with surprise.

Don’t wink, Don’t even blink,
For an instant just stop and think
Of all the wonders gone by;
And all that you’d miss if you closed your eyes.

Raindrops fall from the sky,
Land on a flower so it won’t die.
A child laughs merrily
And all of the world is gay and free.

A petal falls to the ground
In a puddle it swirls around.
A tune floats through the air,
And all of the world is free from care.

Two birds fly through the air,
They meet, and then form a pair.
Come now, along with me,
Together we’ll roam.  Life’s wonders we’ll see.

Gypsy Rover

The gypsy rover came over the hill,
Down through the valley so shady,
He whistled and sang ‘till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.

CHORUS: 
Ah-day-do-ah-de do-ah day
Ah-day-do-ah-do day ee
He whistled and he sang ‘till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady.

She left her father’s castle gate,
She left her own young lover,
She left her servants and her estate,
To follow the gypsy rover.

Her father saddled up his fastest steed,
And roamed the valleys all over,
He sought his daughter at great speed
And her whistling gypsy rover.

He found them at last by a castle fine,
Down by the river Claydis,
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady.

“He is no gypsy, my father”, she said,
“But lord of these lands all over,
And I shall stay ‘till my dying day,
With my whistling, gypsy rover.”

Ham Bones Are Good

Hambone's are good, Wa!
Chicken is sweet, Wa!
Possum meat is very, very fine on its own;
But, give me, Oh give me,
I really wish you would, 
That watermelon hang'n on that vine, Yeha!

And when I went to fetch it, 
It' twas a rainy night,
And the moon and stars had not yet begun to shine. 
And when the farmer saw me, 
He shot me through the fence, 
But I never got that melon off that vine. Yeha!

Hambone's are good, Wa!
Chicken is sweet, Wa!
Possum meat is Very, Very fine on its own;
But, give me, Oh give me,
I really wish you would, 
That watermelon hang'n on that vine, Yeha!
