Classic Camp Songs

Three Bears

Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme
There were the 3 bears
Cha cha cha cha cha cha
They all went a-walkin in the woods and a-talkin
And along came a little girl
With long flowing golden curls
Her name was Goldilocks
And up upon the door she knocked
She didn’t care
That no one was there
She walked right in
Home came those 3 bears
“Someone’s been eating my porridge” said the papa bear
Said the papa bear
“Someone’s been eating my porridge” said the mama bear
Said the mama bear
“Hey bob a ree bear”, said the little wee bear,
“Someone has broken my chair”, HUH!
Goldilocks she woke up, she broke up the party
She beat it outta there
She beat it outta there
“Bye bye bye bye bye”, said the papa bear
Said the papa bear
“Bye bye bye bye bye”, said the mama bear
Said the mama bear
“Hey bob a ree there”, said the little wee bear,
“bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye” HUH!

Herman the Worm

Sittin’, on my fence post chewin’ my bubble gum(Chomp! Chomp! Chomp! Chomp!)
Playin’ my yo-yo, (Do Whop! Do Whop!)
Along came Herman the worm
And he was this big
So I said: “Herman, what happened?!?”
And he said:
 I ate my brother …(Chorus)
 I ate my sister…(Chorus)
 I ate my mother…(Chorus)
 I ate my father …(Chorus)
 I burped!

Lil Cabin

Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
“Help me, help me, sir”, he said
Or the hunter will shoot me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely you will hide

Linger
Mmm mmm I wanna linger
Mmm mmm a little longer
Mmm mmm a little longer here with you
Mmm mmm it’s such a perfect night
Mmm mmm it doesn’t seem quite right
Mmm mmm that it should be my last with you
Mmm mmm and in September
Mmm mmm I will remember
Mmm mmm my happy camping days with you
Mmm mmm and as the years go by
Mmm mmm I’ll think of you and sigh
Mmm mmm this is so long and not good bye

Boy and a girl in a little canoe

Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe
With the moon shining all around
As he glides his paddle
So you couldn’t even hear a sound
And they talked and they talked
‘Till the moon grew dim
He said you better kiss me or get out and swim
So what you gonna do in a little canoe
With the moon shinin’ all around

Repeat until
…moon shinin’ all a’
boy’s paddlin’ al a’
girl’s swimming all around
Get out and swim!?

Green Grass
There was a hole
The prettiest little hole that you ever did see
And the hole was in the ground
And the green grass grew all around and around
And the green grass grew all around [clap clap]

And in that hole, there was a tree
The prettiest little tree that you ever did see
And the tree was in the hole
And the hole was in the ground
And the green grass grew all around and around
And the green grass grew all around [clap clap]

Repeat and add on
On the tree, branch
On the branch, twig
On the twig, nest
In the nest, egg
On the egg, bird
On the bird,

(last verse)
The prettiest little bird
That you ever did see
And the bird was on the egg
And the egg was in the nest
And the nest was on the twig
And the twig was on the branch
And the branch was on the tree
And the tree was in the hole
And the hole was in the ground
And the green grass grew all around and around
And the green grass grew all around [clap clap]

There was a great big moose
He liked to drink a lot of juice
There was a great big moose
He like to drink a lot of juice

(Chorus)
Singin’ way-o way-o
Way-o way-o way-o way-o
Way-o way-o
Way-o way-o way-o way-o

The moose’s name was Fred
He liked to drink his juice in bed
The moose’s name was Fred
He liked to drink his juice in bed

He drank his juice with care
But he spilled it in his hair
He drank his juice with care
But he spilled it in his hair

There was a great big moose
On the loose
Full of juice

Tarzan

Tarzan
Swinging on a rubber band
Tarzan
Smacked into a frying pan
Oooo that’s hurts
Now Tarzan has a tan
And I hope he doesn’t peel
Like a banana

Jane
Flyin’ in her airplane
Crashed into the fast lane
Now Jane has a pain
And Tarzan has a tan
And I hope he doesn’t peel
Like a banana

Cheetah
Bouncing to the Beetah
Cheetah
Eatin by an amoeba
Now Cheetah is velveeta
And Jane has a pain
And Tarzan has a tan
And I hope he doesn’t peel
Like a banana
Like a banana
Froggy
Snakey
Shamu

The Hippo Song
What can make a hippopotamus smile?
What can make him walk for more than a mile?

It's not a party with a paper hat.
Or cake and candy that will make him fat.
That's not what hippos do!
They ooze in the gooze without any shoes.
They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue.
That's what hippos do!
What can make a hippopotamus smile?
What can make him walk for more than a mile?
It's not the song on the old violin.
Or listenin' to the whistlin' wind.
That's not what hippos do!
They ooze in the gooze without any shoes.
They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue.
That's what hippos do!
