Bug Juice Tune: On Top of Old Smokey

At the camp with the Boy/Girl Scouts, They gave us a drink.We thought it was kool-aid, because it was pink.

But the thing that they told us, would've grossed out a moose,For that great tasting pink drink,was really bug juice.

It looked fresh and fruity, like tasty kool-aids, But the bugs that were in it, were murdered with Raid.

We drank it by gallons, we drank it by tons,And the next morning, we all had the runs.

So the next time you drink bug juice,and a fly drives you mad,He's just getting even,'Cause you swallowed his Dad'.

Brownie Smile Song

I've got 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 Brownie Smile!

He said to me, "Why don't you run?I see you ain't, Got any gun."

I says to him, "That's a good idea.""Now legs get going, get me out of here!"

And so I ran, Away from there,But right behind me, Was that bear.

In front of me, There was a tree,A great big tree, Oh glory be!

The lowest branch, Was ten feet up,So I thought I'd jump, And trust my luck.

And so I jumped, Into the air,But I missed that branch, A way up there.

Now don't you fret, And don't you frown,I Caught that branch, On the way back down!

This is the end, There aint no more,Unless I see, That bear once more.

Pink Pajamas (Battle Hymn of the Republic)

I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot. I wear my flannel nighties in the winter when it's not. And sometimes in the springtime and sometimes in the fall, I jump right in between the sheets with nothing on at all.

Chorus:Glory, glory, Hallelujah; Glory, glory, What's it to you? Balmy breezes blowing through ya, With nothing on at all.

I wake up in the morning with the sheet above my head,and my little footsie-wotisy are a sticken out of bed,and three times out of four I find myself upon the floor,And I'll sware I won't be drinking RC cola any more

Repeat chorus

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 of the door.

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

The mush was as tastyAs tasty could be,And then the next summer, It grew into a tree.

The tree was all covered,All covered with moss,And on it grew meatballs,And tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti,All covered with cheese,Hold on to your meatball,Whenever you sneeze.

This Land is Your Land

Chorus:This land is your land, this land is my landFrom California to the New York Island,From the redwood forest, to the Gulf Stream waters,This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,I saw above me the endless skyway,I saw be-low me that golden valley,This land was made for you and me. [Chorus]
