SECTION 1

CAMPFIRE SING-A-LONGS

 

STAR TREKKIN'                      

                                     

This song tells a story, so it's very

important that the characters are ALL

represented in this order. Mister Sulu

is at the helm, Lt. Uhura monitoring the

sensors, Spock is turned to for analysis,

Dr. McCoy is asked "Is it Radiation, Dr.

McCoy? we then turn to the engineer, Mr.

Scott for more power, and finally Captain

James Tiberius Kirk is forced to lead a

landing party. Before beginning, the

audience is divided into six sections,

one for each character.     

 

Chorus:                                

                                       

Star Trekkin' across the universe,     

  on the Starship Enterprise, under Captain Kirk.                         

Star Trekkin' across the Universe,     

Always goin' forward, 'cause we can't find reverse!                  

                                       

Mr. Sulu:                              

                                        

The Enterprise is slowing down,        

  slowing down, slowing down.          

The Enterprise is slowing down,        

  slowing down, Jim!                   

                                       

Lt. Uhura:                             

                                        

There's Klingons on the starboard      

  bow, Starboard bow, starboard bow.   

There's Klingons on the starboard      

  bow, starboard bow, Jim!             

                                       

Mr. Spock:                              

                                       

It's life Jim, but not as we know      

  it, not as we know it, not as we     

  know it.                             

It's life Jim, but not as we know      

  it, not as we know it, Captain.      

                                       

Dr. McCoy:                             

                                       

It's worse than that, he's dead,       

  Jim. dead, Jim, dead Jim.            

It's worse than that, he's dead,        

  Jim.  Dead, Jim, dead!               

                                       

Engineer Scott:

(In your best Scottish accent)                       

                                       

You cannot change the laws of          

   physics, laws of physics,           

   laws of physics.                    

You cannot change the laws of          

  physics, laws of physics,            

  Jim!                                 

                                       

Captain Kirk:                           

                                       

We Come in Peace (shoot to kill!)      

Shoot to kill, shoot to kill.          

We Come in Peace (shoot to kill!)      

Shoot to kill, men!                    

                                        

BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM            

                                       

Mary had a little lamb,                

It's fleece was white as snow,         

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

And everywhere that Mary went, the     

  lamb was sure to go,                 

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

                                       

Chorus:                                

Hurrah for Mary, hurrah for            

  the lamb,                            

Hurrah for the teacher, who didn't     

  give a particle,                     

If all the lambs in Oregon came        

  marching into school,                

Shouting out the battle cry of          

  freedom.                             

                                       

Chorus                                 

                                       

Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece    

  was black as soot,                   

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

And everywhere that Mary went, it's    

  sooty foot he put,                   

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

                                        

Chorus                                 

                                       

Mary had a little lamb, she put it     

  on the shelf,                        

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                              

And every time it wagged it's tail     

  it spanked it's little self,         

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

                                       

Chorus                

                                        

Mary had a little lamb, she tied it    

  in the closet,                       

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

And every time it turned around, it    

  left a little deposit,               

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

                                       

Chorus                                 

                                       

Mary had a little lamb, she tied it    

  to the heater,                       

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

And every time it turned around, it    

  burned it's little seater,           

Shouting out the battle cry of          

  freedom.                             

                                       

Chorus                                 

                                       

Mary had a little lamb, you've         

  heard this tale before,              

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

But have you heard she passed the      

  plate and had a little more,         

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

                                        

Chorus                                 

                                       

SLOWER:                                

Mary had a little lamb, but now the    

  lamb is dead,                        

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

Poor Mary takes the lamb to school,    

  between two hunks of bread,          

Shouting out the battle cry of         

  freedom.                             

                                        

                                       

                                       

MY BOY SCOUT HAT            

                                       

To the tune of "Finiculee Finicula"    

                                       

One day I took with me upon the        

  subway,                              

My Boy Scout Hat, My Boy Scout Hat.    

I laid it down upon the seat beside    

  me,                                  

My Boy Scout Hat, My Boy Scout Hat.    

A big Scoutmaster came and sat upon    

  it.                                  

                                       

My Boy Scout hat, he squashed it       

  flat!                                

A big Scoutmaster came and sat upon            

  it.                                   

My Boy Scout Hat, he squashed it       

  flat!                                

Christopher Columbus! Now what do      

  ya' think of that?                   

A big Scoutmaster sat upon my hat.     

My hat he broke, and that's no          

  joke!                                

My hat he broke and that's no          

  joke!...                             

Cristopher Columbus! Now what do       

  ya' think of that?                   

                                       

                                        

                                       

I'VE GOT SIXPENCE           

                                       

I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly        

  sixpence,                            

I've got sixpence to last me all my    

  life.                                

I've got tupence to spend and          

  tupence to lend, and tupence to      

  send home to my wife, poor wife.     

                                       

CHORUS:                                 

No cares have I to grieve me,          

No pretty little girls to              

  deceive me,                          

I'm happy as a lark, believe me,       

As we go rolling rolling home.         

Rolling home, (rolling home),          

Rolling home, (rolling home),          

By the light of the silvery moon,      

Happy as the day, that we line up      

  for our pay, as we go rolling,       

  rolling home.                        

                                       

I've got fourpence, jolly, jolly       

  fourpence,                           

I've got fourpence to last me all      

  my life.                             

I've got tupence to spend and          

  tupence to lend, and no pence to     

  send home to my wife, poor wife.     

                                       

CHORUS                                 

                                       

I've got tupence, jolly, jolly         

  tupence, I've got tupence to last    

  me all my life.                       

I've got tupence to spend and no       

  pence to lend, and no pence to

I've got no pence to spend and no      

  pence to lend, and no pence to

HAPPY WANDERER             

                                       

I love to go a-wandering along the     

  mountain track,                      

And as I go, I love to sing,            

My nap-sack on my back.                

                                       

Valderee, valderah, Valderee,          

  valderah ha ha ha ha ha.             

Valderee, valderah, my nap-sack on     

  my back.                             

                                        

I love to wander by the brook that     

dances in the sun.                     

So joyously it calls to me,            

Come join my happy fun.                

                                       

Valderee, valderah, Valderee,          

  valderah ha ha ha ha ha.             

Valderee, valderah, my nap-sack on     

  my back.                             

                                       

I wave my hat to all I meet, and       

  they wave back to me,                 

And blackbirds call so loud and        

  sweet, from every greenwood tree.                  

                                       

Valderee, valderah, Valderee,

Valderee, valderah, my nap-sack on     

  my back.                             

                                       

Oh, may I go a-wandering, until the    

  day I die,                           

Oh may I always laugh and sing,        

Beneath God's clear blue sky.           

                                       

Valderee, valderah, Valderee,          

  valderah ha ha ha ha ha.             

Valderee, valderah, my nap-sack on     

  my back.                             

                                       

                                          

 

TRAIL THE EAGLE                

                                       

(Tune:"On Wisconsin")                  

                                       

Trail the Eagle, Trail the Eagle,      

Climbing all the time.                 

First the Star, and then the Life,     

Will on your bosom shine.              

                                       

Keep climbing!                         

                                       

Blaze the trail and we will follow,    

Hark the Eagle's call;                                       

On, brothers, on until we're Eagles    

  all.                                 

                                       

                                       

GREEN GROW THE RUSHES, HO           


                                       

For this song the leader sings the     

first line and the audience answers    

back with the question. Then the       

leader answers with the new verse      

followed by the previous ones as in    

the "twelve days of Christmas.         

I'll sing you one ho.                  

                                       

Green grow the rushes, ho, what is     

your one ho?                           

                                        

One is one and all alone and ever      

more shall be it so!                   

                                       

I'll sing you two ho.                  

                                       

Green grow the rushes, ho, what is     

your two ho?                           

                                       

Two, two lilly white boys clothed      

all in green, ho. And one is on and    

all alone and ever more will be it     

so!

QUARTERMASTER'S STORE             

                                        

There are snakes, snakes, snakes,      

Big as garden rakes,                   

At the store, at the store.            

There are snakes, snakes, snakes,      

Big as garden rakes,                   

At the Quartermaster's Store           

                                       

CHORUS:                                

My eyes are dim, I can not see, I      

  have not brought my specks with      

  me.                                  

I have not brought my specks with      

  me.                                  

                                       

There are mice, mice, mice,            

Running through the rice...            

                                       

There are rats, rats, rats,            

As big as alley cats...                

                                       

There are spiders, spiders,            

  spiders,                             

Swimming in the cider...               

                                       

There are fleas, fleas, fleas,         

Landing on the cheese...       &nb
