Baby shark, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Baby shark!

Swam real fast...
Shark attack ...
Lost a leg ...

Was too late ...
Went to heaven ...
Came back as a shark, baby shark ...
Banana Slug
You know I love my baby
Love the way she hugs
Some people don't
Understand it she's a
Banana slug!
BA-NA-NA SLUG!
She's got just one foot
She ain't got no toes she
Hangs out in the forest and
helps it decompose
BA-NA-NA SLUG!
Some people think she's gross
but I don't hear that jive
If it weren't for my baby
The forest might not survive
BA-NA-NA SLUG!
The way you wiggle your antennae
You know you give me such bliss
Come on, come on, come on banana slug
Won't you give me a kiss
BA-NA-NA SLUG!
The way you slide through the forest
You know you look so fine
Come on, come on, come on banana slug
Let me follow your slim
BA-NA-NA SLUG! Ba-na-na-na-na nana ... banana slug
(X3) BA-NA-NA SLUG!

The Banio Song
I u-lu-lu-sed to play-lay-lay
My ol-ol-old banjo-lo-lo
But my-ly-ly banjo-lo-lo got bro-lo-lo-lo-loke
I too-lo-look it to-loo-loo
The me-le-lender shol-ol-op
But the me-le-lender shol-ol-op
Was clo-lo-lo-lo-losed
I to-lo-look it to-loo-loo
Ano-lo-lother shol-ol-op
To see-lee-lee what they-le-le
Could do-loo-loo-loo-loo
They fi-li-lixed the stri-li-ling
On my-Ii-Ii banjo-lo-lo
And now-low-low it play-lay-lays
Like new-loo-loo-loo-loo. TWANG!
Barges
Out of my window, looking in the night
I can see the barges' flickering light
Silently flows the river out to sea
And the barges too go silently
CHORUS:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out ofmy window, looking in the night
I can see the barges' flickering light
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red
You can see them flickering far ahead
CHORUS
One of these days and it will not be long,
You will look for me and I'll be gone
Face to the wind, far out upon the sea,
Where the whales and dolphins sing to me
CHORUS

Bazooka Bubblegum
My mom gave me a penny
She told me to buy a henny
But I didn't buy no henny
Instead, I bought some bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
My mom gave me a nickel
She told me to buy a pickle
But I didn't buy no pickle
Instead, I bought some bubblegum.

My mom gave me a dime
She told me to buy a lime
But I didn't buy no lime
Instead, I bought some bubblegum.

But I didn't buy no water
Instead, I bought some bubblegum.

My mom gave me a dollar
She told me to buy a collar
But I didn't buy no collar
Instead, I bought some bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
My mom gave me a five
She told me to stay alive
But I didn't stay alive
Instead, I choked on bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum

Brownie Smile Song
I've got something in my pocket
That 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!
Buddies and Pals
You and me, we're gonna be partners.
You and me, we're gonna be pals.
You and me, we're gonna be partners,
Buddies and pals, buddies and pals.

Da Moose (Repeat)
Da moose, da moose
Swimming in da water
Eating his supper
What do he do?
He went to sleep!
Da moose, da moose,
Floating in da water,
Not eating his supper,
Where did he go?
He is now dead.
Da moose, da moose
Floating in the water
Not eating his supper

Did You Ever See a Daisy
Did you ever see a Daisy, a Daisy, a Daisy,
Did you ever see a Daisy, a Daisy Girl Scout,
Go this way and that way and that way and this
way,
Did you ever see a Daisy, a Daisy Girl Scout?

Dip, Dip, and Swing
My paddle's clean and bright,
Flashing like silver
Follow the wild goose flight
Dip, dip, and swing.
Dip, dip, and swing her back,
Flashing like silver,
Soft as the wild goose flight,
Dip, Dip, and Swing.
Donut Shop
Well, I ran around the comer
And I ran around the block
And I ran right into a Donut Shop
And I picked up a donut
And I wiped off the grease,
And I handed the lady MY five-cent piece.
Well, she looked at the nickel
And she looked at me,
And she said, "This money is no good you
see
There's a hole in the middle
And it goes right through."
And I said, "There's a hole in the donut
too."
Thanks for the donut,
Toodle-doo!
Down By the Bay
CHORUS:(repeat after each verse)
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home, I dare not go
For ifl do My mother will say:
'
Did you ever see a whale, with a polka dot
tail?
Did you ever see a fly, wearing a tie?
Did you ever see a bear, combing his hair?
Did you ever see pig, wearing a wig?
Did you ever see a goose drinking apple
juice?
Did you ever see a goat riding in a boat?
Did you ever see dragon, pulling a wagon?
Did you ever see a moose with a loose front
tooth?
Did you ever see a fox, hiding in a box?
Did you ever see a bee, with a sunburnt
knee?
Did you ever see a snake baking a cake?
Did you ever see a cat, wearing a hat?

Duck Rover
I'm an old duck rover from out in Montana
Round up them duckies and drive them along
To a flooded corral,
Where we bulldog and brand 'em,
Mosey on home just a singin' this song.
CHORUS:
Singin' quack-quack-yippie-ay
And a quack-quack-yippie-oh,
Git along little duckies, get along real slow.
It's dirty and smelly and it really don't pay,
But I'll be a duck girl 'til the end of my days
On Saturday nights, I ride into town
On a short-legged pony
With my hat pulled way down.
But the boys don't like duck girls,
And I can't figure out why,
No cowgirl could be
More romantic than I.
CHORUS
There's danger, adventure,
And romance I know,
From a wild duck stampede
To a duck rodeo
But there's loneliness too,
And it cuts to the bone,
When you smell like duck feathers,
You're always alone.
CHORUS
Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the
pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather - make friends of
all kinds.
A place where "Old Man Trouble" is always left
behind.
So give me the light of a campfire, make it warm
and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be
here all night.
Love is for those who find it; I've found mine
right here.
Just you and I and the campfire and the songs
we love to hear.
Da dum, da da da da da dum ...
Forest Ranger
I wanna be a forest ranger ahumm, ahumm
I wanna be a forest ranger, ahumm, ahumm
I wanna be a forest ranger,
I wanna live a life of danger
I wanna be a forest ranger, ahumm, ahumm
Fried Ham
Fried ham, fried ham, cheese and bologna
After the macaroni, we'll have
Onions, pickles, and pretzels
And then we'll have some more fried ham
FRIED HAM! FRIED HAM!
9
Froggies (Repeat)
Dog!
Dog cat!
Dog cat mouse!
Froggies!
Itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, little yellow froggies
Jump, jump, jump, jump little froggies
Eating all the teeny-weeny worms and spiders
Worms and fleas, scrumpdidliumptious!
'G' for Generosity
She wears a G for generosity.
She wears an I for interest, too.
She wears an R for real good sportsmanship.
She wears an L for loyalty, for loyalty!
She wears an S for her sincerity,
She wears a C for courtesy
She wears an O-U-T for outdoor life, outdoor
life and that Girl Scout's me!
The Geoduck Song
You can hear the diggers say
As they're headed for the bay
Oh, I've gotta dig a duck
Gotta dig a duck a day.
For I get a buck a duck
If I dig a duck a day,
So I've gotta dig a duck,
Gotta dig a duck a day.
CHORUS:
Dig a duck, dig a duck, dig a geoduck,
Dig a duck, dig a geoduck, dig a duck a day.
Dig a duck, dig a duck, dig a geoduck,
Dig a duck, dig a geoduck, dig a duck a day.
Well, it takes a lot ofluck
And a certain kind of pluck
Just to get around the muck
Just to get a geoduck.
For he doesn't have a front
And he doesn't have a back
And he doesn't know a Donald
And he doesn't go quack.
CHORUS
Girl Scouts are High-Minded
Girl Scouts are high-minded
Bless my soul, they're double-jointed
They climb hills and they don't mind it
All day long
The Gnome Song (Round)
Heigh-ho cried the merry gnomes (clap, clap)
It's off to the woods we (clap) are (clap)
We'd like to stay but time is (clap, clap) short.
God Bless My Underwear
God bless my underwear
My only pair
Stand beside them
And guide them
Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer
To the dryer
To the dresser
To my rear,
God bless my underwear
Or I'd be bare!
10
Grand Old Duke of York
The Grand Old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up (stand) a hill
And he marched them down (sit) again.
And when you're up (stand), you're up,
And when you're down (sit), you're down,
But when you're only half-way up (half-way)
You're neither up (stand) nor down (sit)!
Great Big Moose (Repeat)
There was a great big moose
He liked to drink a lot of juice
There was a great big moose
He liked to drink a lot of juice
Chorus:
Singin' way-oh, way-oh
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh
Way-oh, way-oh
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh
The moose's name was Fred
He liked to drink his juice in bed
The moose's name was Fred
He liked to drink his juice in bed.
(Chorus)
He drank his juice with care
But he spilled some in his hair
He drank his juice with care
But he spilled some in his hair
(Chorus)
Now he's a sticky moose
Full of juice
On the loose!
Green Trees/Taps
Green trees around us, blue skies above
Friends all around us, in a world filled with love.
Taps sounding softly, hearts beating true,
As campers say "Goodnight to you."
Day is done. Gone the sun
from the lakes, from the hills, from the skies.
All is well. Safely rest.
God is nigh. (And good night.)
The Horse Song
Oh, the horse put his foot,
Put his foot on the ground.
Oh the horse put his foot,
Put his foot on the ground,
Oh the horse put his foot,
Put his foot on the ground.
Now ain't that a terrible song?
Yes it is!
I'm a Daisy Girl Scout
I'm a Daisy Girl Scout dressed in blue,
I'm a Daisy Girl Scout you are, too.
When I go meetings I scream and shout,
I love being a Daisy Girl Scout!
I Love the Mountains
I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills
I love the flowers, I love the daffodils
I love the fireside, When all the lights are low
Boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada,
Boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada
(Continue boom-de-adas and repeat first 3 lines)
11
Jimmy Brown
Chorus:
Singin' hey la di da
Hey la di di
Oh Ii ot in oh
And all the oxen free
Oh I can run faster than jimmy brown
I'm the king of the mountain
And you'll never get me down
Run and jump and skip and fall
You think you're tall but you're so small
Mama calls for supper no more play
Soon comes tomorrow it'll be another day
CHORUS
Up bright and early got a lot to do
Gonna build a castle and go to the zoo
And visit mother goose in storybook land
Why does mommy hold my hand?
CHORUS
I'm pretty old now five n a half
Soon I'll be like daddy and never laugh
Cause when you're old you gotta be strong
You're not a child for very long
CHORUS
I'm full grown now on my own
Oh how I wish I could go back home
And play all day with my old friends
Why does childhood have to end?
CHORUS
Just a Boy and a Girl
Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe
With the moon shining all around
They paddled their paddles so
You couldn't even hear a sound
Well, they talked and they talked
'Til the moon grew dim
He said you better kiss me or get out and swim
Well, whatcha gonna do in a little canoe
With the moon shinin' all-a
Boat's a-floatin' all-a
Boys a-swimmin' all around
Linger
Mm-mm I want to linger
Mm-mm a little longer
Mm-mm a little longer here with you
Mm-mm it's such a perfect night
Mm-mm it doesn't seem quite right
Mm-mm that it's my last night here with you
Mm-mm and come September
Mm-mm I will remember
Mm-mm our camping days and friendships true
Mm-mm and as the years go by
Mm-mm I'll think of you and sigh
Mm-mm this is good night and not good bye
Little Birdie
Little birdie in the sky, in the sky
Why'd you do that in my eye, in my eye?
I'm a big girl, I won't cry
I'm just glad that cows don't fly, cows don't fly!
12
Little Green Frogs
Mmm-mnn went the little green frogs one day
Mmm-mnn went the little green frogs
Mmm-mnn went the little green frogs one day
And they all went mm-mnn-ahh!
Now all the frogs go (slap) la-di-da-di-da!

But first we must call on the spirit of the llama!
Oh llama llama llama llama llama!
Oh llama llama llama llama llama!
I have a friend who is a llama.
He wears a hat and coat.
Do not touch his hat and coat.
It really gets his goat.
Oh llama llama llama llama llama!
Oh llama llama llama llama llama!
I have a friend who is a llama.
He can really hock a loogie.
You should see him hock a loogie.
While he does the boogie.
Oh llama llama llama llama llama!
Oh llama llama llama llama llama!
I have a friend who is a llama.
He likes to sing and dance.
You should see him sing and dance.
In his llama dancing pants.
Oh llama llama llama llama llama!
Oh llama llama llama llama llama!
13
Madness
Oh, I was born one night one mom
When the whistle went boom-boom
You can buy a steak or fry a cake
When the mud pies are in bloom
Do six and six make nine?
Does ice grow on a vine?
Is old Joe an Eskimo in the good old
Summer time?
You can loop-de-loop
Through your noodle soup
Just to give your socks a shine
I'm guilty judge, I stole the fudge
Three cheers for auld lang syne
I cannot tell a lie, I hocked an apple pie
It's on a tree, beneath the sea,
Above the clear blue sky!
If Easter eggs don't shave their legs
Their children will have ducks
I'd rather buy a lemon pie for forty-seven bucks
Way down in Barcelonia
They fell into the foam-ia
And this is all baloney-a
Paderewski, blow your horn!
Toot toot!
When I was young I thought the stars were made
for wishing on
And every hole deep in a tree must hide a
leprechaun
Old houses all had secret rooms if one could find
the door
But who believes in magic any more
CHORUS: Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of
ram
Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again
Magic is the love that stays when good friends
have to leave
I do believe in magic, I believe
When I grew up the grown ups said I'd wake
one day to find
Magic was a childish game I'd have to leave
behind
Like clothes that would no longer fit and toys
that I'd ignore
I'd not believe in magic any more
CHORUS
But now my childhood's far behind, I've learned
to my surprise
Magic did not fade, it only wears a new disguise
A child, a song, a smile, a friend, the courage to
stand tall
And love's the greatest magic of them all.
CHORUS ENDING:
Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of
ram
Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again
Magic is the love that stays when good friends
have to leave
I do believe in magic, For Love's the Greatest
Magic
And I believe in magic, I believe
14
Make New Friends
Make new friends, but keep the old
One is silver and the other gold
A circle is 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.
Me and My Dinosaur
One day when the weather was cloudy and gray,
And I wished someone would come over and
play,
I heard a "knock - knock" and I opened the
door,
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
CHORUS:
Me and my dinosaur!
I never had such a friend before!
As big as a house, twenty times and a half,
And fifty times taller than any giraffe!
Legs long as Sequoia trees!
Teeth big as piano keys!
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur!
I brought out some cookies and we had a snack
And she said she'd give me a ride piggy back
I started to climb from her tail to her cheek
Without stopping once took a year and a week.
CHORUS
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze,
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees,
And when we got thirsty, mile after mile,
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile!
CHORUS
Moon on the Meadow
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears.
On up the meadow, water somewhere,
We were the only ones there.
Wild horse and Slushy, Dry Lake, the Peaks,
Finding the love there, everyone seeks
Hiking to rainbows, sunsets and stars,
Just finding out who we are
We will return here, one lucky day,
Our hearts will guide us, They've learned the
way
People in cities don't understand
Falling in love with the land
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears,
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears.
On up the meadow, water somewhere
With you, my friend, I am there.
15
Mountain Girl
CHORUS:
All around the mountain drivin' Betsy
All around the mountain Laura Lee
If I ever see that girl again I hope she remembers
me
Yee-Haw!
City girls they have those fancy dresses
Country girls they have the same
Mountain girls just wear old overalls
But they get there just the same, yee-haw!
City girls they have high heel shoes
Country girls they have the same
Mountain girls just have old hiking boots
But they get there just the same, yee-haw!
Other verses:
City girls: flushing toilets
Mountain girls: just use a friendly bush
City girls: fancy operas
Mountain girls: sing all their favorite songs
City girls: pure-bred horses
Mountain girls: just have a grumpy mule
City girls: showy cars
Mountain girls: just hike up all the trails
City girls: guilty toilet paper
Mountain girls: just find a maple leaf
City girls: snazzy swim suits
Mountain girls: just wear their birthday suits
City girls: deodorant
Mountain girls: go "au natural"
City girls: frilly bras
Mountain girls: just let it all hang out
City girls: silly boyfriends
Mountain girls: just hug a friendly bear
Music Shall Live
All things shall perish from under the sky
Music alone shall live, music alone shall live
Music alone shall live, never to die.

My Highland Goat
My highland goat
Was feeling fine
Ate all my shorts
Right off the line
I took a stick
And gave a whack
And tied him to
The rail road track
The whistle blew
The train grew nigh
My highland goat
Was sure to die
He gave a groan
Of mortal pain
Coughed up my shorts
And flagged the train
On My Honor
CHORUS (every 2 verses)
On my honor I will try,
There's a duty to be done and I say I,
There's a reason here for a reason above,
My honor is to try and my duty is to love
People don't need to know my name
If I do any harm then I'm to blame
When I help another then I help me
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
I've tucked away a song or two,
If you're feeling low there's one for you
When you need a friend, then I will come
There are many more where I come from.
CHORUS
Come with me where a fire bums bright,
We can even see better in a candle's light.
But we find more meaning in a campfire's glow,
Than we'd ever learn in a year or so.
We've made a promise to always keep
and the day is done before we sleep
We'll be Girl Scouts together, and when we're
gone,
We'll still be trying and singing this song.

On The Loose
CHORUS:
On the loose to climb a mountain, On the loose
where I am free,
On the loose to live my life the way I think my
life should be.
For I only have a moment, and a whole world
yet to see.
I'll be lookin' for tomorrow on the loose.
Have you ever seen the sunrise tum the sky
completely red?
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a
pine bough for your bed?
Have you sat and talked with friends, though a
word was never said?
Then you're just like me and you've been on the
loose.
CHORUS
There's a trail that I'll be hiking just to see where
it might go,
Many places yet to visit, many people yet to
know.
But in following my dreams, I will live and I
will grow,
In a world that's waiting out there on the loose.
CHORUS
So in search of love and laughter, I am traveling
'cross this land.
Never sure of where I'm going, for I haven't any
plans.
Anytime when you are ready, come and join me
take my hand. And together we'll share life out
on the loose.
CHORUS
As I sit and watch the sunset and the daylight
slowly fades,
I am thinking of tomorrow, and the friendships I
have made.
I will treasure them for always, and I hope that
you will too.
And forever we'll share life out on the loose.
CHORUS
Oyster Stew
One day I ordered an oyster stew
Alone, tee hee, all alone
And one little oyster loomed in view
Alone, tee hee, all alone
He winked at me and he blinked at me
I've been in many a stew said he,
But don't tell the chef that you saw me
Alone, tee hee, all alone.
And maybe I'll go to the junior prom
Alone, tee hee, all alone.
And maybe I'll sit by the chaperone,
Alone, tee hee, all alone.
And maybe somebody will wink at me
And I will wink at them, tee hee,
And then you will see that I will not be
Alone, tee hee, all alone!

Peace like a River
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river in my soul
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river in my soul
I've got joy like a fountain .. .
I've got love like an ocean .. .

On a long black string. I can whistle and I can
sing

Rose & Apple Tree Song
If you love me, if you love, love, love me,
Plant a rose for me.
And if you think you'll love me for a long, long
time,
Plant an apple tree.
The sun will shine, the wind will blow,
The rain will fall and the tree will grow,
And whether you comes, or whether you goes,
I'll have an apple, and I'll have a rose,
Lovely to bite, and nice to my nose.
And every juicy nibble will be
A sweet reminder of the time you loved me
And planted a rose for me,
And an apple tree.

Song of the Soul
Open mine eyes that I may see
Glimpses of truth thou ask for me
Open mine eyes, illumine me
Spirit divine
Love of my life I am crying
I am not dying, I am dancing
Dancing along in the madness
There is no sadness
Only a song of the soul
CHORUS:
And we'll sing this song
Why don't you sing along
Then we can sing for a long, long time
Why don't you sing this song
Why don't you sing along
Then we can sing for a long, long time
What do you do for your living
Are you forgiving, giving shelter
Follow your heart, love will find you
Truth will unbind you
Seek out a song of the soul
CHORUS
Come to your life like a warrior
Nothing will bore yer, you can be happy
Let in the light, it will heal you
And you can feel you
Sing out a song of the soul
CHORUS
Love of my life I am crying
I am not dying, I am dancing
Dancing along in the madness
There is no sadness
Only a song of the soul

Tennessee Wiggle Walk
I'm a bow-legged chicken
I'm a knock-kneed hen
Haven't been so happy
Since I don't know when
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doin' the Tennessee Wiggle Walk
Put your heels together and your knees apart
Snap your fingers ready and start
Flap your elbows just for luck
As you wibble and you wobble like a baby duck
Come dance with me baby
Keep your toes in time
Haven't been so happy in a long long time
I walk with a. wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doin' the Tennessee Wiggle Walk
Doin' the Tennessee Wiggle Walk

The Other Day
(Every four lines call-and-response, then sing all four together)
The other day
I met a bear
In tennis shoes
A dandy pair
He looked at me
I looked at him
He sized up me
I sized up him
He said to me
Why don't you run?
I see you ain't
Got any gun
And so I ran
Away from there
But right behind
Me was that bear
Ahead ofme
I saw a tree
A great big tree
Oh glory be
The nearest branch
Was ten feet up
I'd have to jump
And trust my luck
And so Ijumped
Into the air
But I missed that branch
A way up there
Now don't you fret
Now don't you frown
'Cuz I caught that branch
On the way back down
The moral is
No shocking news
Don't talk to bears
In tennis shoes
That's all there is
There ain't no more
Unless I meet
That bear once more
The end, the end
The end, the end
The end, the end
The end, the end

We Come From the Mountains
We come from the mountains,
We come from the mountains
Go back to the mountains
And turn the world around
We come from the mountains
Go back to the mountains
And turn the world around.
We come from the fire ...
We come from the water ...
We come from the sky ...
We come from Girl Scouts ...
We come from the mountains,
We come from the fire
Go back to the water
And turn the world around
We come from the sky
Go back to Girl Scouts
And turn the world around.
What Can Make A Hippopotamus Smile?
(Repeat)
What can make a hippopotamus smile?
What can make him walk for more than a mile?
It's not a party in a paper hat
Or a barrel of candy that will make him fat
That's not what hippos do!
They ooze through the goose without any shoes
They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue
That's what hippos do!
What can make a hippopotamus smile?
What can make him walk for more than a mile?
It's not a tune on the old violin
Or listening to the whistling wind
That's not what hippos do!
They ooze through the goose without any shoes
They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue
That's what hippos,
Yes, that's what hippos,
Yes, that's what hippos do!
White Coral Bells
White coral bells upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the valley deck my garden walk
Oh don't you wish that you could hear them ring?
That will happen only when the fairies sing.
Wings of an Aeroplane
Open your songbooks to page 13 !
If I had the wings of an aeroplane- aeroplane?
Up to the sky I would fly, would fly
If I had the wings of an aeroplane- aeroplane?
I'd fly 'til the day I would die, would die.
Chorus.
