MARY HAD A WILLIAM GOAT
Tune: London Bridge 
Mary had a William goat,William goat, William goat;
Mary had a William goat,
‘Twas lined inside with zinc.
Chorus
Whoop-ti doodle, doodle, do Doodle do, doodle do,
Whoop-ti doodle, doodle do,
‘Twas lined inside with zinc.
It fed on nails and circus bills.
And relished hobble skirts.
One day it ate an oyster can
And a clothes-line full of shirts.
The shirts. can do no harm inside,
But the oyster can.
The can was filled with dynamite.
Which Billy thought was cheese.
He rubbed against poor Mary's side
For the pain to ease.
Now William's way up eating clouds,
And Mars with him too.
ANCHORS A-WEIGH
Anchors a-weigh, my boys,Anchors a-weigh.
Farewell to idle joys,
We sail at break of day, day, day, day.
Through our last night ashore,
Drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more
Here's wishing you a happy .voyage home.

Mammy's little baby loves short'nin' bread.
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Fill ma pockets full of short'nin' bread.

Stole de gal making short'nin' bread
Dey caught me wid de skillet,
Caught. me wid de lead,
Caught me wid de gal, makin' short'nin' bread;
Paid six dollahs for de skillet,
Paid six dollahs for de lead,
Spent six months in jail eatin' short'nin' bread.
THE TALE OF THE THREE GOOD TURNS
Tune: Polly Wolly Doodle
A Boy Scout hiked with a careless strideAlong a dusty road,
When out from a tree there hopped with glee
A big, fat, husky toad.
Chorus
Hike along, hike along,
Hike along with a stride so free,
But when you see an old, black bear,
Just let that old bear be.
Says the toad to the Scout, "Hello, my lad,
Where are you headed for?"
'I'm on my seven-mile hike," says he,
"And I've only one mile more."
"What have you done while on this hike?"
Says the fat old toad, says he.
"I've had some fun and I ate a bun
And I've done my good turns three."
"What were these good turns three, my Scout?
Says the fat old toad, says he.
"Well, I helped a man to catch a cow,
And I found a lost baby.
"That's only two," says the fat, old toad,
"And you told me you'd done three."
"Well, wait a while till I get my breath,"
Says the Second Class Scout, says he.
MERRILY, MERRILY
(Round)Merrily, merrily greet the morn:
Cheerily, cheerily sound the horn.
Hark to the echoes ! Hear them play,
O'er hill and dale and far away
MUSIC ALONE SHALL LIVE
(All things shall perish)All things shall perish from under the skies
Music alone shall live (3)
Never to die.
LITTLE PETER RABBIT
(Mimetic song) Tune: John Brown's Body
Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his ear; (Repeat three times.)
And he flipped it till it flew away.
Second time - the same and omit words "Peter Rabbit" and hold up "paws."
Third time - the same and omit the word "fly" and flutter the extended hands.
HOW DO YOU DO?
(Sing immediately after the guest is introduced)How-do-you-do, Mr.---------, how-do-you-do?
Is there anything that we can do for you ?
We are with you to a man,
We will help you all we can;
How-do-you-do, Mr. ---------, how-do-you-do?
MCNAMARA'S BAND
O, my name is MacNamara,I'm the leader of the band,
Altho' we're few in number,
We're the finest in the land.
Of course, I am conductor,
And we very often play
Before the great musicians,
That you hear of every day.
Chorus
The drums go bang, the cymbals clang,
The trumpets blaze away,
McCarthy pounds the big bass drum
While I the horns do play.
When Hennessy Tennessee tootles the flute,
The music is simply grand,
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's Band.
We play at wakes and weddings,
And at every fancy ball,
At every dead man's funeral,
We play the March from Saul.
When General Grant to Ireland came,
He took me by the hand,
Said he, There's none can beat the likes
Of MacNamara's Band.
(Chorus)
MARCH ALONG!
ChorusMarch along! March along!
Singing all the while,
Shouting out a rousing song
As we reel off mile on mile.
(Keep time there!)
March along! March along!
Spirits never fail
When again we're on our way
On the good old open trail!
When the campfire's lit,
And we're many miles from town,
Singing ringing songs,
Of the trails we've hiked along
Of happy days we've known.
On the good old open trail!.
Bound the fire we sit and sing
While the stars are looking down.
OLE FAITHFUL
Ole Faithful, we rode the range together,Ole Faithful, in every kind of weather.
When your round-up days are over,
There'll be pastures white with clover,
For you, Ole Faithful pal o' mine.
Hurry up ole feller, 'cause the moon is Yeller tonight,
Hurry up ole feller, 'cause the moon is mellow and bright.
There's a coyote howlin' to the moon above,
So carry me back .to the one I love,
Hurry up, ole feller, 'cause we gotta get home tonight.
THE BOY SCOUT DAY
(Tune. Perfect Day)When you come to the end of a Boy Scout day,
And you sit in the campfire light,
And the sky has turned from the blue to the grey,
With the shades of the coming night,
Do you think what the end of a good Scout day,
Can mean in a real boy's life,
When the bugle blows and the flag comes down,
And there's peace in the world of strife?
Well this is the end of a Boy Scout day,
Near the end of our journey, too,
And the days that are gone cannot be recalled
What have they meant to you?
For we've shared the same tent, and, side by side,
The streets of the old world trod.
In sun and rain we've done our best,
And we're closer grown to God.

Home On The Range
Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roamWhere the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Chorus
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
How often at night, when the heavens are bright
With the light from the glittering stars
I've stood there amazed, and asked, as I gazed,
If their glory exceeds that of ours.
Chorus
The air is so pure, and the zephyrs so free
And the breezes so balmy and light
I would not exchange my home on the range
For all the cities so bright.
Chorus

THE Q.M.'S STORES
There's cheese, cheese, with shocking dirty knees,in the stores, in the stores,
There's cheese, cheese, with shocking dirty knees
In the Quartermaster's Stores.
Chorus
My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I have not brought my specs with me,
I have not brought my specs with me.
There's Eggs - on little bandy legs.
There's Steak - that keeps us all awake.
There's Lard - they sell it by the yard.
There's Bread - like great big lumps of lead
There's Kippers - that go about in slippers.
There's Cake - that gives us tummy ache.
There's Beans - as big as submarines.
There's Pie - like bombs from out the sky.
There's Chops - that hobble clippety-clop.
There's Milk - that walks about on stilts.
There's Butter - the scrapings of the gutter.
There's Jam - that really ought to scram.

Chorus:
If I die before I wake
Angels watching over me my Lord
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Angels watching over me.
Chorus:
Keep me safely through the night
Angels watching over me my Lord
Wake me with the morning light
Angels watching over me.
Chorus:
The Campfire Trail
There's a long, long, trail a-winding
Into the camp of my dreams
Where the evening campfire's glowing
And the bright moon beams
There'll be long, long months of waiting
Until my dreams all come true
Tillthe day when I'll be going down
That Scout camp trail with you.
If you were the only girl in the world
If you were the only girl in the world,
And I was the only boy,
Nothing else would matter in the world today,
We would go on loving in the same old way.
A garden of Eden, just made for two,
With nothing to mar our joy.
I would say such wonderful things to you,
There would be such wonderful things to do,
If you were the only girl in the world,
And I was the only boy.
