Peace

Peace I ask of thee,
O river, peace, peace, peace.
When I learn to live serenely,
Cares will cease,
From the hills I gather courage,
Vision of the day to be.
Strength to lead and faith to follow,
All are given unto me. Peace I ask of thee,
O river, peace, peace, peace.

Princess Pat

The Princess Pat
Lived in a tree.
She sailed across
The seven seas.
She sailed across
The channel too.
And took with her
The rig of bamboo.

CHORUS: 
The rig of bamboo,
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat.
It's red and gold
And purple too.
That's why it's called
The rig of bamboo.

Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew.
They sailed across
The channel too.
But their ship sank
And yours will too,
If you forget
Your rig of bamboo.

CHORUS

Taps

Day is done, gone the sun
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky.
All is well safely rest, God is nigh.

Thanks and praise for our day, .
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky.
As we go, this we know,
God is nigh. .

Fading light, dims the sight
And a star gems the sky.
Gleaming bright. From afar
Drawing nigh comes the night.

Tell Me Why

Tell me why the stars do shine?
Tell me why the ivy twines?
Tell me why the sky's so blue?
Tell me, my darling, just why I love you?

Because God made the stars to shine.
Because God made the ivy twine.
Because God made the sky so blue.
Because God made you, that's why I love you.

Camp version:

Tell me why, the bugs do bite.
Tell me why the fire won't light.
Tell me why, the tent fell down.
And I will tell you why we slept on the ground.

Because they're hungry, the bugs do bite.
Because the wood is wet, the fire won't light.
Because the peg broke, the tent fell down.
Because we're crazy, we slept on the ground.

The Bear Song
[tune: Sippin' Cider]

The other day, I saw a bear
Out in the woods, away out there.
He looked at me I looked at him.
He sized me up I sized up him.

He said to me, "Why don't you run?
I see you ain't, got any gun." .
I said to him "That's a good idea."
Come on now feet let's up and flee.

And so I ran, away from there,
But right behind, me came that bear.
And then I saw ahead of me
A great big tree Oh mercy me!

The lowest branch, was ten feet up.
I’ll have to jump, and trust my luck.
And so I jumped into the air,
But I missed that branch away up there.

Now don't you fret, and don't you frown,
I caught that branch, on the way back down.
That's all there is, there ain't no more
Unless I see that bear once more.

The Beautiful Land

RED is the color of a lot of lollipops,
ORANGE is any orange on a tree,
YELLOW is the color of a lot of lemondrops,
GREEN is a piece of seaweed in the sea,
BLUE is the color of the sky in summertime,
INDIGO is a Siamese cat’s eye,
VIOLET’s the color of a flower in wintertime,
These are the colors of the rainbow sky, the rainbow sky.

There is a beautiful land where all your dreams come true,
It’s all tied up in a rainbow, all shiny and new,
But it’s not on top of a mountain,
It’s not on top of a mountain,
O r beneath the deep blue sea,
Or in London zoo, or in Timbuckto
Or in Timbuckthree,
And if you travel the world, from China to Peru
There’s no beautiful land on the chart
An explorer could not begin to discover its origin,
For that beautiful land is in your heart, 2-3-4 your heart, 2-3-4 your heart.

The Golden Sun

The golden sun sinks in the west
Great Spirit call Girl Scouts to rest.
We’ve had our work; we’ve had our play,
And we have lived the true Scout way.

Each day we’ve done some new good turns,
Someone to help, not praise to earn.
We’ve been prepared for all in view
And now we pledge our scoutship true.

On my honor, I will try
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
