Camp Goodtime

Forty years on an iceberg (make the number 10 four times with your hands)
Over the ocean wide (make waves with hands)
Nothing to wear but pyjamas (pretend to put on pajamas)
Nothing to do but slide (pretend to dive with your arms in front of you)
The wind was cold and icy(cross your arms and shiver)
The frost began to bite! (pinch your neighbors)
I had to hug my polar bear (hug your neighbors)
To keep me warm at night, Oh!

Hum the first line instead of singing it and repeat. Continue until all lines are hummed.

The Little Green Frog

After the first verse, the animal and actions change.

M-m went the little green frog one day
M-m went the little green frog
M-m went the little green frog one day
We all went M-m-ahh

But we all know frogs go la-de-da-de-da
La-de-da-de-da, la-de-da-de-da
We all know frogs go la-de-da-de-da
They don't go m-m-ahh

The Martian Hop

We have just received an note from outer space
The Martians want to hold a dance for the whole human race!
Pa-pa-ooh-ma-ma, pa-pa-ooh-ma-ma
Pa-pa-ooh, pa-pa-ooh, pa-pa-ooh-ma-ma
Pa-pa-ooh-ma-ma, pa-pa-ooh-ma-ma
Pa-pa-ooh, pa-pa-ooh, pa-pa-ooh-ma-ma
We do the Martian Hop!
We do the Martian Hop!

Boom Chick

I said a boom
I said a boom chick a boom
I said a boom chick-a-rocka chick-a-rocka chick a boom
Oh yeah?
Uh huh!
Once more...

Each line is repeated by everyone. At the end of the verse, the song leader announces a new singing style such as "underwater:. The song is then repeated in that style. The song is ended by singing "No more" instead of "Once more"

Tarzan

Each line is repeated by everyone.

Tarzan,
Was swinging from a rubber band,
Crashed into a frying pan,
Now Tarzan's got a tan.

Jane,
Was flying in an aeroplane,
Crashed into a freeway lane,
Now Jane's got a pain,
Now Tarzan's got a tan.

Cheeta,
Was dancing to the beata,
Crashed into the streeta,
Now Cheeta is Velveta,
Now Jane's got a pain,
Now Tarzan's got a tan.

Shamu,
Was swimming in the ocean blue,
Crashed into a red canoe,
Now Shamu's gonna sue,
Now Cheeta is Velveta,
Now Jane's got a pain,
Now Tarzan's got a tan.

Green Grass

Each line except the last line of each verse is repeated. When the words "all around" are sung, everyone waves their hands in the air and spins around.

There was a hole
The cutest little hole
That you ever did see
And the hole was in the ground and the green grass grew all around, all around, all around, the green grass grew all around

And in that hole
There was a tree
The cutest little tree
That you ever did see
And the tree was in the hole and the hole was in the ground and the green grass grew all around, all around, the green grass grew all around.

And on that tree
There was a limb
The cutest limb
That you ever did see
And the limb was on the tree and the tree was in the hole and the hole was in the ground and the green grass grew all around, all around, the green grass grew all around.

The song continues with a branch, a twig, a nest, an egg, a bird, a wing, a feather, and a flea. Some parts such as the twig are occasionally left out. If you remember everything, the last verse might go something like this:

And on that feather
There was a flea
The cutest little flea
That you ever did see
And the flea was on the feather and the feather was on the wing and the wing was on the bird and the bird was in the egg and the egg was in the nest and the nest was on the twig and the twig was on the branch and the branch was on the limb and the limb was on the tree and the tree was in the hole and the hole was in the ground and the green grass grew all around all around all around, the green grass grew all around.

Or, if you're in a hurry to finish, instead of a flea on the feather, try this for a quick ending:

And on that feather
There was an ELEPHANT! (the end)

The Music Man

The first part of each verse is sung by a 'director'. The question "What can you play?" is asked by everyone. The second part to each verse is sung by a section of the campfire.

I am the music man
And I come from down your way
And I can play...
What can you play?
I play the pi-an-o

The leader directs a particular section of the campfire to sing these words while pretending to play the piano.

Pi-a-pi-a-pi-a-no, pi-an-o, pi-an-o
Pi-a-pi-a-pi-a-no, pi-an-o

I am the music man
And I come from down your way
And I can play...
What can you play?
I play the vi-o-lin

For the second verse, another instrument such as the violin is chosen. The leader directs a different section of the campfire to play their violins:

Vi-o-vi-o-vi-o-lin, vi-o-lin, vi-o-lin
Vi-o-vi-o-vi-o-lin, vi-o-lin

Then, the leader widens their scope to direct the piano players to play their pianos together with the violin players. The two parts are sung together.

Each verse adds another instrument such as a piccolo (pic-a-lo) or a big bass drum (boom boom boom). One by one, each instrument joins with the other instruments to create an orchestra.

I Have Lost My Underwear

Sung to the Tune of Bye Bye Blackbird

I just lost my underwear
I don't care, I'll go bare,
Bye Bye Long johns.

They were very dear to me
Tickled me, hee hee hee!
Bye Bye Long johns.

I remember that little round flap behind me
Open up and there you would find me

I just lost my underwear
I don't care, I'll go bare
Long johns Bye Bye!

God Save My Underwear

Sung to the tune of God Save the Queen

God save my underwear
They were my only pair
God save them please

Bring them to Mex-ico
Wash them at Tex-ico
God save my underwear
God save them please!

Change Your Underwear

This song completes the Underwear Trilogy

You've got to change your underwear daily
And brush your teeth every night and day
You've got to wash mainly
Because the dirt isn't good for you

It'll make you ugly, and homely, you'll lose all your friends
Come on, it's time to make amends

You can't go on! Change your underwear!

Down by the Bay

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother would say:

Did you ever see a flea with a sun-burned knee?
Down by the bay!

Then repeat the entire song, changing the last rhyme.

The Quarter Master Store

There llamas, llamas, wearing pink pajamas
In the store, in the store
There were llamas, llamas, wearing pink pajamas
In the quarter master store

My eyes are dim I cannot see
I have not brought my specks with me
I have not brought my specks with me!

Then repeat the entire song, but change the first rhyme.

My Momma Don't Wear No Socks!

My Momma don't wear no socks! (A DING-DONG!)
I saw her when she took them off! (A DING-DONG!)
The threw them up to heaven
Knocked down a 747!

A ding dong dong dong dong a ding dong dong dong dong dong dong a ding dong

Change the second rhyme and repeat.

Jacob's Ladder

We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
Soldiers of the Cross

Ever rung goes higher and higher
Ever rung goes higher and higher
Ever rung goes higher and higher
Soldiers of the Cross

If you love Him, why not serve Him?
If you love Him, why not serve Him?
If you love Him, why not serve Him?
Soldiers of the Cross

Sinners, do you love your Jesus?
Sinners, do you love your Jesus?
Sinners, do you love your Jesus?
Soldiers of the Cross

Rise, shine! Give God your glory
Rise, shine! Give God your glory
Rise, shine! Give God your glory
Soldiers of the Cross

Taps

This is the last song of the campfire. Cross your left arm over your right arm and hold hands with the people next to you. At the end of the song, shake hands with your neighbors and day "Thanks for the evening, campers!". Finally, everyone turns around together while holding hands.

Day's done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh

Linger

This is usually the last song of the last campfire. Cross your left arm over your right arm and hold hands with the people next to you. At the end of the song, shake hands with your neighbors and day "Thanks for the evening, campers!". Finally, everyone turns around together while holding hands.

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

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

Mmm, and as the years go by
Mmm, I'll think of you and sigh
Mmm, This is good night and not good bye

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

Mmm, and come September
Mmm, I will remember
Mmm, our camping days and friendships true

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