Linger

Mmm, I want to linger
Mmm, a little longer
Mmm, a little longer here with you

Mmm, it’s such a perfect night
Mmm, it doesn’t seem quite right
Mmm, that this should be my last with you

Mmm, and come September
Mmm, I will remember
Mmm, my camping days and friendships too

Mmm, and as the years go by
Mmm, I’ll think of you and sigh
Mmm, this is good night and not good bye.

Make New Friends

Make new friends but keep the old,
One is silver and the other gold.

A circle's round, it has no end,
That's how long I want to be your friend.

I have a hand, and you have another,
Put them together and we have each other.

You help me and I'll help you,
And together we will make it through.

A fire burns bright, it warms the heart,
We've been friends right from the very start.

Friends like you are one of a kind,
Very special, but hard to find.

Friends are real and friends are true,
If you love them they will love you too.

Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be.

So good friend wherever you may roam,
You'll be welcome in my heart and home.

Make new friends but keep the old,
One is silver and the other gold.

Michael Finnegan

There was a man named Michael Finnegan. 
He grew whiskers on his chin-egan. 
Wind came out and blew them in again. 
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again. 

There was a man named Michael Finnegan. 
He went fishing with a pin-egan, 
Caught a fish and dropped it in-egan. 
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again. 

There was a man named Michael Finnegan. 
Climbed a tree and barked his shin-egan, 
Took off several yards of skin-egan. 
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again. 

There was a man named Michael Finnegan. 
He kicked up an awful din-egan 
Because they said he could not sing-egan. 
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again. 

There was a man named Michael Finnegan. 
He got fat and then got thin again. 
Then he died and had to begin again. 
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again.

More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together the happier we’ll be
For your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends,
The more we get together the happier we’ll be
The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together the happier we’ll be
For you know that I know,
And I know that you know,
The more we get together the happier we’ll be

Ode To A Girl Scout Leader
(Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)

I was glad to have a girl, because our first child was a son
I thought of all the ruffles, all the frilly bows and fun.
I thought of how we'd sit and talk at night when day was done
Wasn't I the foolish one?

She was only half past seven when they called me to the fore,
I said, I'm not equipped, They said, Oh yes you are! What's more,
We will train you in the basic, we’ll outfit you for the core
And they shoved me out the door.

Glory, Glory, I'm A leader
How'd I get to be a leader? .
AII I did was have a daughter
Is this the price I pay?

They taught me to be thrifty, to be thoughtful to be true
They. taught me how to string the beads like noble Indians do
I had to learn to dig a trench, and how to use it to
And they say that Scouting's grand!

Glory, Glory, I'm a leader
Me- They had to make a leader
I can't even build a fire
Let alone put up a tent

We went walking in the woodland, My Girl Scout troop and me
The handbook says that nature has a wealth of sights to see
It's true- We sure were sights when we were found eventually-
And I do all this for free

I'm not meant to be a leader, I don’t know which bird is which
My wiener forks all burn up, we come home from hikes and itch
The sit-upons all felt apart, I showed them the wrong stitch.
But no one wants to switch!

Glory. Glory, I'm a leader
Hallelujah, I'm a leader
Tell me why I should be happy
When no one envies me!

But even though I grumble, and I mumble, and I shout
Though there are days I wonder what's the best way to get out
I guess when all is said and done, there isn't any doubt
I'm glad to be a Scout

Glory, Glory, I'm a leader
Someone's got to be a leader
They- can carve it on my tombstone
Here's a gal who did her best.

On My Honor

Chorus:
On my honor I will try,
There’s a duty to be done and I say “aye”.
There’s a reason here for a reason above.
My honor us to try and my duty it love.

People don’t need to know my name.
If I’ve done any harm them I’m to blame.
If I’ve helped another then I’ve helped me.
If I’ve opened up my eyes to see.

Chorus

I’ve tucked away a song or two.
When you’re feeling low there’s on for you.
If you need a friend then I will come
And there’s many more where I come from.

Chorus

Come with me where a fire burns bright.
You can even see better by a candle’s light.
But we find more meaning in campfire’s glow
Than we’ll ever learn in a year or so.

Chorus

We’ve made a promise to always keep.
We pray “Softly Falls” before we sleep.
We’ll be Girl Scouts together and wen we’re
Gone we’ll still be trying and singing this song.

On Top Of Spaghetti

On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed

It rolled off the table
And on to the floor
And then my poor meatball
Rolled out the door .

It rolled in the garden
And under a bush
And then my poor meatball
Was nothing but mush

Oh, the mush was as tasty
As tasty could be
And early next summer
It grew into a tree

The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
It grew lovely meatballs
And tomato sauce

So if you eat spaghetti
All covered with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don’t ever sneeze.

Our Cabana Song

Neath the grand Sierra Madre on a plain in Mexico
Lies our beautiful Cabana where the Guides and
Girl Scouts go.

Oh, come then to see the mountains, the cactus and sunny skies
Hear the cricket in the evening see the white
moon arise

When you see the warm red roofs
you think of hearts that glow with cheer
And the walls of sturdy stonework
Stand for friendships so dear

Each day there is filled with laughter .
Each evening is filled with song
And our stay in Our Cabana .
Gives us memories life-long

When we go to Our Cabana
We will find ourselves at home
There's a greeting smile so friendly
And a handshake so warm

So come now to Our Cabana
World friendships to increase .
And carry to your homeland
International peace.

Our Chalet Song

High up, high on a mountain
We've founded our Chalet
High up, high on a mountain
We've founded our Chalet
Its sloping roof and wide
Shall shelter us without a care
And each Girl Scout and Guide
Shall find a welcome there.

High up, high on a mountain
We’ll go to our Chalet
High up, High on a mountain
Wall go to our Chalet
Our simple life is free
Our hearts are light, our songs are gay
We ever shall remember
The joys of our Chalet .

High up, high on a mountain
We've founded our Chalet
High up, high on a mountain
We've founded our Chalet
And this its dedication
Shall never fail nor be undone
Each race, each creed, each nation
Beneath its roof are one.

Our Leaders
[tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic]

We have tortured all the leaders,
We have broken Girl Scout laws. 
We have driven them all loony,
With our ever-constant noise. 
We have given them bad headaches,
With our singing, all off key
And now they are batty ever more.

(CHORUS) 
Glory, glory alleluia,
Girl Scouts slipped right by the leaders.
Hid in the latrine
With all their underwear.
It's a wonder there are leaders anywhere.

As you know, we love our leaders.
We must have them for our troop.
But it's lots of fun to tease them.
We know they love our group.
But today they're feeling funny
As they hunt their underwear,
We are glad there are leaders over there.
