A repeat after me!
There
was a moose (there was a moose)
Who liked to drink a lot of juice (who liked to drink a lot of juice)
There was a moose (there was a
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-oh,
way-oh, way-oh, way-oh (way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh)
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.
He drank his juice with care,
But he spilled some
in his hair.
Now he’s a sticky moose.
A moose covered in juice.
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:
Singing glug-glug-glug-glug
Now let's all count to five.
Fred the moose is back
alive.

The other day (The other day)
I met a bear (I met a bear)
Up in the woods (Up in the woods)
Away up there (Away up there)
The other day I met a bear
Up in the woods away up there.
He looked at me
I looked at him
He sized up me
I sized up him
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
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 came that bear
And so I ran away from there
But right behind me came that bear
Ahead of me
There was a tree
A great big tree
O Lordy me
Ahead of me there was a tree
A great big tree O Lordy me
The nearest branch
Was ten feet up
I’d have to jump
And trust to luck
The nearest branch was ten feet up
I’d have to jump and trust to luck
And so I jumped
Into the air
But I missed that branch
Away up there
And so I jumped into the air
But I missed that branch away up there
Now don’t you fret
Now don’t you frown
‘Cause I caught that branch
On the way back down
Now don’t you fret now don’t you frown
‘Cause I caught that branch on the way back down
That’s all there is
There ain’t no more
Unless I meet
That bear once more
That’s all there is there ain’t no more
Unless I meet that bear once more

On My Honor – Cindy Dasch
Chorus:
On my honor, I will try;
There's a duty to be done, and I say "Aye."
There's a reason here for a reason above,
My honor is to try and my duty is to love.
No one needs to know my name,
If I hurt someone, then I'm to blame.
If I’ve helped someone, then I've helped me.
And that's the way that it should be.
I've tucked away a song or two;
If you're feeling low, there's one for you.
If you need a friend, then I will come.
There's plenty more where I’ve come from.
Come with me where a fire burns bright,
We can even see better by its own light;
We can find more meaning in a campfire glow
Than we’ve ever found in a year or so.
We've a promise to always keep,
And sing "Day is Done" before we sleep.
We’re Girl Guides together, and when we're gone,
We'll still be a-trying and a-singing this song.
The Images
of Guiding – Myra Slind
When I think
back to days gone by, my heart plays a merry tune
Of dancing ‘round
the toadstool ring and campfire nights in June.
Chorus:
The images of
Guiding are precious, clear and strong.
I keep them ever
close to me, carried in a song.
There are time
that I remember well from Guiding days and yet
I know no matter
what I do, I never will forget.
On my honor and
my promise true, I go from day to day,
I do the best
that I can do; my Guiding leads the way.
Ev’ryone knows it, but how can
you show it,
That love is a wonderful thing.
Try to believe it, and then you will
live it
And see what the future will bring.
Chorus:
A-a-a-a-a-a-ah.
Ev’ryone knows it, but how can
you show it
That love is a wonderful thing.
Laughter or crying, there's no use
denying
That love holds each life in its hands.
So, do what you can to be living in
harmony,
Meeting what love may demand.
You've got a lot of it, so you must
share it,
Proving that love isn't cold.
Give it to everyone, don't miss out
anyone.
They'll give it back threefold.

Spark Closing - I Promise to Share and Be a Friend – Jaen Wanamaker
I promise to share and be a friend.
By showing we care it's love we send.
Tho'
the world is so wide
with love deep inside,
it's easy to be a friend, a friend!
O hear us now,
Your.children call.
Grant to us peace,
And bless us all.
Softly Falls the Light of Day
Softly falls the
light of day
As our campfire
fades away
Silently each Guide
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?
Daytime Taps – Lady Baden-Powell
Thanks and praise,
for our days,
‘Neath the sun,
‘neath the stars, ‘neath the sky.
As we go, this we
know – God is nigh.
