LYRICS
Donut
Shop
Weeeell I walked around the corner
and I walked around the block
And I walked right in to the donut shop
And I picked up a donut and I licked off the
grease
And I handed the lady a five cent piece
Weeeeell she looked at the nickel and she
looked at me
And she said this donut is no good, you see.
There’s a hole in the nickes and it goes
right through,
I said, “Lady, there’s a hole in the donut
too!”
Thanks for the donut….. You bet!
My Old
Man’s a Sailor
My old man’s a sailor, whaddyathink about
that?
He wears a sailor’s collar and he wears a
sailor’s hat.
He wears a sailor’s raincoat, and he wears a
sailor’s shoes,
And every Saturday evening he read’s the
Sailor’s News.
And some d-a-y , if I c-a-n
I’m gonna be a sailor, just like my old man.
(Ask campers what their dads do for a living
then substitute it for the word sailor)
Challenge verse: Rootin tootin cotton pickin’
finger lickin’ ear flickin’ chicken plucker
The
Ladies of the Harem of the Court of King Arakatus
(Motions
are in parentheses)
The ladies (curvy body) of the harem (palms
together above head)
of the court
(palms flat like touching a basketball court)
of King Arakatus (make crown shape on head)
are just passing by (move hands along to show
progress)
The boys (bow forward at waist with arms in
front and back of it)
who put the powder (dip imaginary powder puff
in powder) \
on the noses (pretend to bang it onto nose)
of…(repeat first part)
The fascinating witches (ride a broomstick)
put the stimulating stitches (sew)
in the britches (smack your bottom) of…(repeat second then first part.)
So if you want to see (repeat all) It’s too
late, they just passed by.
Stay on
the Sunny Side of Life
Stay on the sunny side
Always on the sunny side
Stay on the sunny side of life
You will feel no pain as we drive you all
insane, so
Stay on the sunny side of life.
(Have a camper tell a joke, then repeat the
song)
I Was Going
to Kentucky
I was going to
Kentucky,
Going to the fair,
I met a senorita,
with flowers in her hair.
Oh, shake it, shake
it, shake it.
Shake it all you can.
Shake it like a
milkshake and like a rubber band
Oh, rumble to the
bottom, rumble to the top.
And turn around, and
turn around, until you holler stop!
Down by the Banks
Down by
the banks of the hankey pankey,
Where
the bullfrogs jump from bank to bankey
With an
oops, ops, soda pops,
He
missed the lily, and he went kerplop.
The
Nanner-Nanner Song
At a time like this (clap clap)
At a time like this (clap clap)
At a time like this (clap)
Oh, I need the Lord to help me
(Add an extra motion each time so it becomes
longer each time:
clap,
snap, nanner, whoop, womp, booga, buzz)
Head
Shoulders Knees and Toes
Head shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
Head shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Head
shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
Backwards:
Toes knees shoulders head, shoulders head
Toes knees shoulders head, shoulders head
Nose and mouth and ears and eyes
Toes knees shoulders head, shoulders head
Good Morning Song/Birdie Song
Way
up in the sky
The
little birds fly
Way
down in the nest
The
little birds rest
With
a wing on the left
And
a wing on the right
The
little birds sleep
All
through the night
Shhhhhhhhhhh
THEY’RE
SLEEPING! (yelled)
The
bright sun comes up
The
dew falls away
GOOD
MORNING, GOOD MORNING (yelled)
The
little birds say!
Dum Dum
Song
Verse 1
Sit right next to your neighbors. Start by slapping both hands on your own
thighs twice, then move one leg to the left so you are slapping someone else’s
right leg and your own left leg and slap twice, then slap your own legs again
twice, then move one leg to the right and slap twice. Repeat this process throughout the verse.
Dum dum dah
da, da
(repeat 6 more times)
Dum dum dum
Verse 2
Slap your own thighs, then clap twice, then
slap legs once, then make a fist and thump your chest with your right arm at a
diagonal as if doing the pledge, then slap thighs once again, then do thump
with other arm. Repeat this process throughout
the verse.
Dum dum dah
da, dah da dum (huh!) dum (huh)
(repeat 4 more times; the last time change
the end to three dums and slap thighs 3 times)
Verse 3
Cross arms Indian style, with left arm on top
of right arm, on the first dum. Then
straighten left arm straight out, parallel to the ground. Then straighten the other one. Then bend the
right one again. Then do the same with
the left arm to make crossed arms. Then
keep the left elbow connected while you raise your left arm like a hinge on the
(huh!s)
Use the same words as verse 2

Little
Bunny Foo Foo
Little bunny Foo Foo
Hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head
Down came the Good Fairy, and she
said
"Little bunny Foo Foo
I don't want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the
head."
I'll give you three chances,
And if you don't behave, I will turn
you into a Goon!"
(Repeat 3 times, subtracting a
chance each time.
The last time, she turns him into a
Goon.)
And the moral of the story is: Hare
today, goon tomorrow.
