Barges
Out of my
window looking in the night I can see the barges flickering light
Silently flows the river to the sea
And the barges too go silently
Chorus:
Barges I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the oceans blue
Barges have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light
Starboard shines green and port is shining red
I can see the barges far ahead
How my heart longs to go away with you
As I watch you sail the ocean blue
But here I sit beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here.

The Bear Song
(Have audience repeat each phrase)
The other day; I met a bear;
Out in the woods; a way up there.

I sized up him; he sized up me.

I see you ain't; got any gun.

Chorus:
Boom, boom ain't it great to be crazy (x2),
silly and foolish all day long, boom, boom ain't it great to be crazy.
1. Way up north in the ice and snow,
there lived a penguin by the name of Joe,
he got so tired of black and white,
that he wore pink socks to the dance last night.
2. Way down south where the bananas grow,
a fly stepped on an elephant's toe,
the elephant said with a tear in his eye,
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"
3. Way up on top of garbage hill,
there lived a man named dirty Bill,
he never took a bath and he never will, Phew! Dirty Bill.
4. A horse and a flea and three blind mice sat on a tombstone shooting dice.
The he horse he slipped and fell on the flea and the flea said "whoopsie, there's a
flea on me!"
5. 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care worn six months, boy did they need the
air!
6. Now I lay me down to sleep with a bag of peanuts at my feet.
If I should die before I wake, you'll know I died of a belly ache.

He tried and he tried to give the cat away but each time he did it came back the next day!
Ohhhhhhhh....
Chorus
The cat came back the very next day. Oh, the cat came back, they thought he was a goner,
but the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away, away, away, yeah, yeah, yeah!

best.
The train hit the curb and it jumped the rail, and no one was alive to tell the awful
tail, BUT....
2. He gave it to a man going up in a balloon. He told him to give it to the man on the
moon.
The balloon came down about 90 miles away, and were the man is today, I cannot say,
BUT....
3. He gave it to a boy, with a dollar note. He told him to take it to the river in a boat.
Tied a rock around it's neck, it musta weighted a hundred pounds,
and now there dragging the river for the rock that drowned, BUT...
4. Old man Johnson swore he'd shoot that cat on sight, so he loaded up his shotgun with 6
sticks of dynamite.
He waited on the corner for the cat to come around, but 97 pieces of man was all they
found....(slow)
The H-bomb fell just the other day, the A-bomb fell in the very same way
England went (boom), Russia went (boom), and then the U.S of A. (ca-blooo-wee),

CYO is
happiness, sunshine, and fun;
It means so many things to everyone;
Maybe going to crafts or shooting archery;
One thing that is certain noone wants to leave;
Swimming and nature the campers are learning;
Later at night the campfires are burning;
Songs and meals and games and friends;
Oh, don't you wish that this would never end;
Campers and counselors working together;
Rainy or sunny all kinds of weather;
Can't help loving this camp of mine;
Of mine of mine of mine;
CYO spirit will always live on in the lives of it's people as they move
along; Can't help loving this camp of mine; Of mine of mine of mine, of

You can;'t get to heaven. On a pair of skis. You'll shuss right through, Saint Peter's
knees.
You can't get to heaven, in a limousine, cause the Lord don't sell, no gasoline.
You can't get to heaven, with powder and pain, it makes you look, like what you
ain't.
That's all there is, there ain't no more, Saint Peter said, and he closed the door.
There's one thing more. I forgot to tell. If you don't go to heaven, you'll go to hell.
I 'll put my grief, up on the shelf, if you want some more, make 'em up yourself.

In A Cabin
In a cabin in the woods,
little old man by the window stood,
saw a rabbit hoppin' by, knocking at his door.
Help me! Help me! Help me! He said. For the hunter shoots me dead.
Come along and live with me, oh how happy we will be!

I Won't Grow Up
(Repeat) I won't grow up. I don't want to go to school. Just to

Chorus (together)
If growing up means it would be, beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up. Not me, not I, not me, so there,
nyaah!
I won't grow up. I don't want to wear a tie. Or a serious expression. In the middle of

And we know you might start to cry
But now it's time you realize camp's over, over

When you are getting on the bus
We'll look back on all these good times and smile, smile
We know you'll come back next year so wipe away those tears
And try to move on
You had to rest some time, but you had the best of time
And we were always there
Chorus:
Cause we want you to stay
And play another day
We gave it our all
When you leave we're gonna be blue forever
Is this all
Or will we stay friends
Is this how it ends with a simple bus ride home
You leave us here with no campers at all
Remember all those songs we sing
They have that oh familiar ring
We know them all by heart and you do know it, know it
There are times you look at us
And request songs that bug us
We sing them all anyway because we love you, love you
You know the green frong goes Ba Da Da Da Da Da

On top of Spaghetti
On top of Spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table, and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.
It rolled down the garden, and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush!
The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be,
And then the next summer it grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered, all covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs, all covered with sauce.
So if you have spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
Hold onto your meatball, 'cause someone might sneeze.

The
Unicorn Song
A long time ago when the earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
They'd run around free while the earth was being born
But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn
There was green alligators
And long necked geese
Some humpy back camels
And some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants
but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn
Now God seen some sinnin'
And it gave Him a pain
And He says, "Stand back!
I'm gone to make it rain."
He says, "Hey, Brother Noah,
I'll tell you what to do,
Build me a floating zoo.
And take some of them
Green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpy back camels and some e chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants
But sure as you're born
Don't you forget my unicorns."
Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark
Just as the rain started falling
He marched in the animals two by two
And he called out as they went through,
"Hey, Lord, I've got your green alligators,
And long necked geese
Some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees
Some Cats and rats and elephants
But, Lord, so forlorn,
I just can't see no unicorns."
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
Oh them silly unicorns
There was green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees
And Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain is pouring
And we just can't wait for them old unicorns."
The ark started moving, adrifting with the tides
Them un unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
And that's why you'll never see a unicorn to this very day
You'll see green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants
But sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorns.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to fetch her poor dog a bone,
but when she got there the cupboard was bare so she threw him out the window . . .

Zulu King
Oh, a Zulu King with a big nose ring, fell in love with a fair young
maiden.
And every night by the pale moon light across the lake he came.
With a hug and a kiss for his Zulu miss, underneath the old palm tree.
And whenever they met, they sang a duet, it sounded like this to me:
Ba-room, (smack lips), ba room ba di ody a-a-ay (x2).
Oh, we'll build a bungalow big enough for two, big enough for two, my honey, big enough
for two.
And when we're married, happy we'll be. Underneath the bamboo, underneath the bamboo tree.
Following is done slowly the first time and then fast the second
Boom (x8). If you'll be m-i-n-e, mine, I'll be t-h-i-n-e, thine, and I'll l-o-v-e
love you all the t-i-m-e time.
You are the b-e-s-t best of all the r-e-s-t rest and I'll l-o-v-e you all the t-i-m-e
time.
Rack 'em up, stack 'em up any old time, match in the gas tank.
Finish with
boom, boom. Shave and a haircut, two bits. Who was the barber? Tom Mix! How did he like
it? No kick! Good evening friends.
