Camp songs

[BostonTeaParty]

Hmmm, not much of a camper, but Kum By Yah comes to mind.

[Sam I Am]

i went to Camp Dellwood (Girl Scout day camp) for 6 years and Camp Riley (12 day overnight camp for disabled children) for 8 years so I have LOTS but I'll give my favorites

"Hello Mother Hello Father"- the words are "hello mother, hello father, here I am at Camp Granada"



"Linger"- "I want to linger a little longer, a little longer with you" it always made me cry because it was only sung at closing camp fire



"If I weren't a camper"-

"If I weren't a camper,

I'll tell you what I'd be,

If I weren't a camper,

a farmer I would be

Give, Bessie, Give,

The baby's gotta live(while doing cow milking motions)"

We did it as a skit for talent night,

it was my job to custom write all 10 verses,

one for each girl in my cabin including a girl who was deaf and mute, her's was Ghandi (he held silent protests)!

Great one Ann! We love to camp. The first one is from my childhood camp and the second one we sing with DS when we camp.

Weenie Man
I know a weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
Froim hotdogs on down, down, down ,down
One day I'll join his life
I'll be his weenie-wife
HOT DOG! I love that weenie man
A-weenie, weenie, weenie
And a bun, bun, bun
And mus-tard too!
A-weenie, weenie, weenie
And a bun, bun, bun
And mus-tard too! HUH!

Three Fishies Song
Down in a meadow in an itty-bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
"Swim," said the mama fishie. "Swim if you can."
And they swam and they swam
Right over the dam
Boom-boom fishie-fishie
Why don't you?
Boom-boom fishie-fishie
Why don't you?
Boom-boom fishie-fishie
Why don't you?
And they swam and they swam
Right over the dam
"Look," said the mama fishie. "Look at that whale!"
Quick as they could they turned on their tails
Back to the meadow in the itty-bitty pool
And they swam and they swam
Right over the dam
Boom-boom fishie-fishie
Why don't you?
Boom-boom fishie-fishie
Why don't you?
Boom-boom fishie-fishie
Why don't you?
And they swam and they swam
Right over the dam

Okay, Girl Scout Leader and Lifetime Member here, so I have tons and tons, but I will give you my faves.

The Dellwood Song (Dellwood is our local Day Camp)
There are camps to the east and
camps to the west, but
DELLWOODS' GIRLS ARE THE VERY BEST
rah, rah, Camp Dellwood, Dellwood
rah, rah, Camp Dellwood, Dellwood
rah, rah, camp Dellwood, Dellwood rah!
There's Camps from the North and
Camps to the South, but
DELLWOODS' GIRLS HAVE THE LARGEST MOUTH
(refrain)

The Weinie Man (learned in a parade, sung for over 3 hours!)

I know a weinie man,
he owns a weinie stand,
he sells most anything from hotdogs on down,
One day I'll be his wife,
eat wienies all my life (older girls find this funny?)
hotdog, I love that wienie man, WIENIE MAN!

And how about Capmtown races sing this song DoDa DoDa.</font>

[*Pixie*Dust*]

I hated camp, Laurel Ridge, and this is the only song I remember:

I'm from Laurel Ridge oh pity me
There's not a boy in the vicinity
And every night at 9 they lock the doors
I don't know why the heck I ever came before
I'm gonna pack my bags and homeward bound
I'm gonna turn this camp upside down
I'm gonna smoke and drink and neck and peck
And what the heck
The heck with the whole darn camp

[Colexis Mom]

We always used to sing:

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly, I don't know why she swallowed a fly, perhaps she'll die ......yada yada yada

[GoofyMom]

We always sing "Fire's Burning" as an echo song.

Fire's burning
(Fire's burning)
Draw nearer
(Draw nearer)
In the glowing
(In the glowing)
Come sing and be merry
(Come sing and be merry)
