Scout Songs 4
Mighty Fine ... Scout Camp
The busses that you
ride in, they say are mightly fine,
But when they turn a corner, they leave the wheels behind.
Chorus:
Oh, I don't want no more of Scout Camp Life..
Gee, Mom, I want to go, but they won't let me go;
Gee, Mom, I want to go home.
The leaders that they have here, they say are mighty fine,
But when you get up closer, they look like frankenstein.
The first aid that they give you, they say is mighty fine,
But if you cut your finger, you're left with only nine.
The water that they have here they say is mighty fine,
But when you try to drink it, it tastes like turpentine.
The biscuits that they serve you, they say are mighty fine
But one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine
The spagetti that they serve you, they say is mighty fine
They rinse it the toilet and drain it on the line/
The cocoa that they serve you, they say is mighty fine
It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine.
The tents/cabins that you sleep in, they say are mighty fine
But whoever said this has never slept in mine.
The toilets that they have here are the best that they can get
Last night my tent mate had to go, they haven't found him/her yet.
Be Kind To Your . . . Scouting
Friends
[Tune: Stars and Stripes
Forever]
Be kind to your . . .
Scouting friends,
That's a pledge from one Scout to another.
Be kind to your leaders today,
'Cause for helping they don't get any pay.
Be kind to your neighbors and friends,
'Cause by caring you follow Scouting's letter.
. . . Scouting and friendship are grand,
And as we grow, the world will know,
We've made things better.
On my honor, I'll do my
best,
to do my duty to God.
On my honor, I'll do my best,
to serve my country as I may.
On my honor, I'll do my best,
to do my good turn each day,
to keep my body strengthened,
to keep my mind awakened,
to follow paths of righteousness,
On my honor, I'll do my best.
Silver on the sage,
Starlit skies above,
Aspen covered hills,
Country that I love.
Philmont Here's thee,
Scouting Paradise,
Out in God's country, tonight
Wind in whispering pines,
Eagles soaring high,
Purple mountains rise,
Against an azure sky.
Philmont here's to the,
Scouting Paradise,
Out in God's country tonight.
Softly falls the light
of day,
While our campfires fade away.
Silently each Scout should ask:
Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
Everything to be prepared?
Day is Done (Taps)
Day is done, gone the
sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.
While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.
We're the Boy Scouts of
America
Scouting for things anew.
Our activities lead to victories
in all we set out to do.
We're the Boy Scouts of America,
We plan hand in hand each day
To do better than need be done
till all our goals are won
champs with a winning way.
We're loyal tto purpose and integrity
Pledged to the Scout Oath eternally.
With verve and conviction we sing our song
to keep America strong.
We're the Boy Scouts of America
and this we have to say
Join us and we'll stand beside you,
beside you all the way.
The Boy Scouts of America
will stand beside you all the way.
I Am a Cub Scout
I am a Cub Scout
And a very happy boy.
With a uniform of blue and gold
And a den that gives me joy.
I am a Cub Scout
Earning badges one by one
I do my best and i meet the test
A god citizen i've become.
I help out other people when
I see they need a lot.
I do my chores around the house
And i feed my dog named spot.
I am a Cub Scout
Doing my duty willingly.
Someday i'll join a boy scout troop
And a fine man i will be.

The Mafeking Man
One day in Mafeking a
man
Besieged by Boers thought of a plan
To help the Nations youths lead better lives
"I'll teach them how to hunt and track
And all the parts of the Union Jack
And how to whittle wood with big sheath knives".
CHORUS
He collected kids from the corner of the streets
Little gutter rats
He collected kids from the upper class
Young aristocrats
And he taught them that they could
All live in Brotherhood
Wearing baggy shorts and a funny cowboy hats.
He wrote a book, did old B.P.
And very soon found that he
Had little time to spare in a day
So he left the army and began
To work upon his Scouting plan
And get things organized in his own way.
-- Thanks to Carol
