CUBBING ALONG TOGETHER

Cubbing along together,
Working on the old Chief's dream,

Working as a well-knit team,
Singing along the highway,
Keeping the Vision, wide,
A happy song and a Cubby smile,

Our Promise true, and our Law so bright,
To guide us day by day,

Life is wonderful, side by side.

CUBBING
Tune: Bicycle Built for Two

Cubbing, Cubbing, that is the game for me,
Real true Cubbing, life that is good and free,
With outings and hiking pleasure,
To fill our hours of leisure,
For lots of fun, when work is done,
In our Cubbing, there's lot to see.

A Bicycle Built for Two

There is a flower Within my heart,
Daisy, Daisy!
Planted one day By a glancing dart,
Planted by Daisy Bell!
Whether she loves me Or loves me not,
Sometimes it's hard to tell;
Yet I am longing to share the lot -
Of beautiful Daisy Bell!

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

We will go 'tandem'
As man and wife,
Daisy, Daisy!
'Peddling' away
Down the road of life,
I and my Daisy Bell!
When the road's dark
We can both despise
P'licemen and 'lamps' as well;
There are 'bright lights’
In the dazzling eyes
Of beautiful Daisy Bell!

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

I will stand by you
In 'wheel' or woe,
Daisy, Daisy!
You'll be the bell(e)
Which I'll ring you know!
Sweet little Daisy Bell!
You'll take the 'lead'
In each 'trip' we take,
Then if I don't do well,
I will permit you to
Use the brake,
My beautiful Daisy Bell!

ALL PULL TOGETHER
Tune: Ranger's Song

We'll all pull together,
Comrades, birds of a feather,
Happy Cubs, Snappy Cubs,

For all of our Pack are jolly. proud
To know they belong to the finest
Cub Pack of them all.

BEST GAME
Tune: Sidewalks of New York

Eastward, Westward, look where'er you may,

Happy times for folk, have made.

GOOD LUCK
Tune: Give Yourself a Pat on the Back

So, here's Good Luck to all of our Pack,
All of our Pack, All of our Pack,

If we all plan happiness for to-morrow,

You're one of the Best, we wish you success,
We've had a good day to-day.

SCOUTER'S SMILE
Tune: When Irish Eyes are Smiling

When Scouters all are smiling,
Sure it's like a morn in Spring,
For amid their joy and laughter,
You can hear the music ring;
When all the crowd are happy,
And the night seems bright and gay,
With that fine old Scouting spirit,
Sure it wins you right away.

STOUT HEARTED MEN
Tune: Give Me Ten Men

Give me some Cubs, who are stout-hearted Cubs,
Who work for the Pack they belong,
Start me with four and we'll soon have some more,
Till the whole of the Pack's going strong
Then, shoulder to shoulder, and bolder and bolder,
They grow as they go with a song,
For there's nothing in the world- can halt or mar a plan,
When stout-hearted Cubs can stick together man to man.

SCOUTING
Tune: Bells of St. Mary's

The songs we are singing
Fond mem'ries are bringing,
Of camps by the rivers,
Of trails o'er the hills,
In sunshine or shadow,
Good weather or bad, Oh,
The Scouting life's the happy life,
The life that thrills.

SMILE AWHILE

Smile awhile and give your face a rest,
Stand up straight and elevate your chest;
(Everyone up--expand chest)
Reach your hands up to the sky (over head)
While you wag your head so freely, (Shake noodle from side to side)
Limber up and stamp your foot a bit (stamp)
As you were, now just before you sit,
Reach right out to someone near,
Shake his hand and SMILE.

This Little Light of Mine

This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Gonna let my little light shine.

On Monday, he gave me the gift of love;
On Tuesday, peace came from above.
On Wednesday told me to have more faith;
On Thursday, gave me a little more grace.
On Friday, told me to watch and pray
On Saturday, told me just what to say,
On Sunday, gave power divine
Just to let my little light shine. (oh)

This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Gonna let my little light shine.

Now some say you got to run and hide.
But we say there's no place to hide.
And some say let others decide,
But we say let the people decide.
Some say the time's not right,
But we say the time's just right.
If there's a dark corner in our land,
You got to let your little light shine. (oh)

This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Gonna let my little light shine.


I MET AN ENGINE ON A HILL
Tune: Yankee Doodle

I met an engine on a hill,
All hot and broken hearted,
And this is what he said to me
As up the hill he started.
I think I can, I think I can,
At any rate I'll try. (Repeat)
He reached the top and looking back
To where he stood and doubt,
He started on the downward track,
And this is what he shouted.
I knew I could, I knew I could,
I never should have doubted. (Repeat)
And so to all you Cubs and Scouts,
Whenever you're downhearted,
Remember what the engine said
As up the hill he started.
I think I can, I think I can,
At any rate I'll try it,
And very soon you'll find out
That you have gone and done it.

CHURCH IN THE WILDWOOD

There's a church in the valley by the wildwood,
No lovelier place in the dale;
No spot is so dear to my childhood,
As the little brown church in the vale.

Refrain:
O, come, come, come, come,
Come to the church in the wildwood,
Oh, come to the church in the dale;
No spot is so dear to my childhood,
As the little brown church in the vale.

How sweet on a bright Sabbath morning,
To list to the clear-ringing bells,
Its tones so sweetly are calling,
Oh, come to the church in the vale.

Refrain

There, close by the church in the valley,
Lies one that I loved so well;
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, ’neath the willow,
Disturb not her rest in the vale.

Refrain

There, close by the side of that loved one,
To trees where the wild flowers bloom,
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb.

Refrain

From the church in the valley by the wildwood,
When day fades away into night,
I would fain from this spot of my childhood
Wing my way to the mansions of light.

Refrain

I've been working on the railroad

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the old banjo, and singing

Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o

Strumming on the old banjo
