As everyone knows
there's nothing better than a good old campfire after dark when
you are on camp, and at Guestwell we like to think that we can
put on a pretty good one.
Below are a selection
of our favourites, just click on the name of the song and it
will take you to the words.
We went to the animal fair,
the birds and the bees were there,
The big baboon by the light of the moon was combing his auburn
hair.
The monkey fell out of his bunk , and slid down the elephants
trunk,
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees,
And what became of the monkey! (monkey, monkey, . . . etc.)
Alice the camel has 10 humps,
Alice the camel has 10 humps
Alice the camel has 10 humps, so go, Alice, GO!!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
[Continue with 9, 8, 7 . . . humps, until . . . ]
Alice the camel has no humps, Alice the camel has no humps
Alice the camel has no humps, ‘cause Alice is a HORSE!!
Be kind to your web footed
friend,
For a duck may be somebody's mother
She lives in a hole in a swamp
Where the weather is always damp
You may think that this is the end:
Well it is, but to prove that we're all liars
We're going to sing it again,
But only this time we will sing a little higher
There was a farmer had a dog
and Bingo was his name-o’
B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o.

the name BINGO; second time, clap the ‘B’ and spell out the last
four letters; third time, clap the ‘B’ and the ‘I’
and spell out
the last three letters; etc., until all five letters are clapped

There was a crazy moose (There
was a crazy moose)
Who liked to drink a lot of juice (Who liked to drink a lot of
juice)
There was a crazy moose (There was a crazy moose)
Who liked to drink a lot of juice (Who liked to drink a lot of
juice)
(Chorus)
Singing way-oh, way oh (Singing way-oh, way-oh!)
Way-up, way-up, way-up way-up(Way-up, way-up, way-up. way-up)
Way oh, way oh (Way oh, way oh)
Way-up, way-up, way-up, way-up (Way-up, way-up, way-up way-up)
The moose's name was
Fred...... he liked to drink his juice in bed
He drank his juice with
care......but he spilt some in his hair
All his hair went
stiff.......so he combed it in a quiff
His friends began to
laugh......so he had to take a bath
As the water went
down......Fred the moose began to drown
(chorus this time only:)
Singing glug-glug-glug-glug etc.
Now let's all count to
five......Fred the moose is back alive
Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them is a bow?
Can you sling them over your shoulder like a regimental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
With this song, the leader
sings a line and everyone sings it back or repeats it, like an
echo and gradually gets louder until you are shouting as loudly
as you can, last line is 'they must be deaf"

When I was one, I had just
begun
The day I went to sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me,
“We’re going this way, that way, forward and back
Over the Irish Sea.
A bottle of Rum to soothe my tum,
And that’s the life for me.
When I was two, I tied my shoe . . .
When I was three, I bumped my knee . . .
When I was four, I shut the door . . .
When I was five, I was still alive . . .
When I was six, I gathered sticks . . .
When I was seven, I was almost in heaven . . .
When I was eight, I closed the gate . . .
When I was nine, I was feeling fine . . .
When I was ten, I started over again . . .
She sat beneath the laics and
played her guitar,
Played her guitar, strummed her guitar.
She sat beneath the liacs and played her guitar,
Played her gui-ta-a-a-ar.
He sat down beside her and
smoked his cigar...
Smoked his cigar, smoked his cigar
He sat down beside her and smoked his cigar
Smoked his cig-a-a-a-ar,
He said that he loved her but, oh! How he lied...
They were to be married but
somehow she died...
He went to her funeral but
just for the ride...
He went to her grave site and
laughed 'til he cried...
The grave stone fell over and
squish-squash he died...
She went up to heaven and
flittered and flied...
He went to the other place and
sizzled and fried...

Over hill, over dale
As we hit the river trail
And the trek cart keeps rolling along.
In and out hear us shout
Gee, I'm glad that I'm a scout,
And the trek cart keeps rolling along.
CHORUS:
Singing Hi, Hi, He,
That's the life for me
Start the day and end it with a song
Where ever you go, you will always know
That the trek cart is rolling along,
All our kits a heavy load,
still we take the open road
And the trek cart keeps rolling along.
Down the lane, mind that drain, never mind those spots of rain
And the trek cart keeps rolling along.
Forget the car, the four wheel
drive, let's keep our boyhood dreams alive
And the trek cart keeps rolling along.
No care of fuel or mpg, we run all day on a cup of tea
And the trek cart keeps rolling along.
We are the Red Men, tall and
quaint,
In our feathers and war paint :
Pow-wow, pow-wow,
We're the men of the Old Dun Cow.
All of us are Red Men,
Feathers-in-our-head-men,
Down-among-the-dead-men,
Pow-wow,
Pow-wow.
We can fight with sticks and
bones,
Bows and arrows, slings and stones,
Pow-wow, pow-wow,
We're the men of the Old Dun Cow.
All of us are Red Men,
Feathers-in-our-head-men,
Down-among-the-dead-men,
Pow-wow,
Pow-wow.
We come back from hunts and
wars,
Greeted by our long-nosed squaws,
Pow-wow, pow-wow,
We're the men of the Old Dun Cow.
All of us are Red Men,
Feathers-in-our-head-men,
Down-among-the-dead-men,
Pow-wow,
Pow-wow.
