*Cannibal King*
A Cannibal King with a fat nose ring
Fell in love with a hula dame and
Everynight on a pale moonlight
Over the lake he came
He hugged and kissed his pretty little miss
Under the bamboo tree
And everynight on a pale moonlight
It sounded like this to me
Barump
Muack muack

And Ive got more left over for each star
That twinkles in the blue

Right in my head to stay.

*Pass it on*
It only takes a spark, to get the fire going
And soon all those around, can warm up in
Its glowing
That’s how it is with God’s love, once you
Experienced it
You’ll spread His love, to everyone
You want to pass it on
What a wondrous time is spring
When all the trees are budding
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start
Their blooming
That’s how it is with God’s love, once you
Experienced it
You want to sing, it’s fresh like spring
You want to pass it on
I wish for you my friend, the happiness that
I’ve found
You can depend on Him, it matter not
Where you’re bound
I shouted it from the mountain top, I want
The world to know,
The Lord of Love has come to me, I want
To pass it on
*Land of the Silver Birch*
Land of the silver birch
Home of the beaver
Where still the mighty moose
Wanders at will
Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more
Boom de de boom boom, boom de de boom boom
Boom de de boom boom, boom.
Down in the forest, deep in the lowlands
My heart cries out for thee, hills of the north
Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more
Boom de de boom boom, boom de de boom boom
Boom de de boom boom, boom
High on a rocky ledge, I ’ll build my wigwam,
Close to the water’s edge, silent and still
Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more
Boom de de boom boom, boom de de boom boom
Boom de de boom boom, boom
Land of the silver birch home of the beaver
Where still the mighty moose, wanders at will
Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more
Boom de de boom boom, boom de de boom boom
Boom de de boom boom, boom.
*Campfire’s burning*
Campfire’s burning, campfire’s burning
Draw nearer. Draw nearer
In the glooming, in the glooming
Come sing and be merry

Edelweiss
Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever

Bless my homeland forever
*Moonlight Bay and Silvery Moon*
We were sailing along (We were sailing along)
On moonlight bay (On moonlight bay)
We can hear the voices singing (Singing)
They seem to say (What did they say?)
You have stolen my heart (I have stolen your heart)
Now dont go away (I wont go away)
As we sing loves old sweet song on moonlight bay
By the light (Not the dark but the light)
Of the silvery moon (Not the sun but the moon)
I want to spoon (Not the fork but the spoon)
To my honey I croon love’s tune
Honeymoon (Honeymoon, Honeymoon)
Keep shining in June (Not in May but in June)
Those silvery beams
Will bring love’s dreams
We’ll be cuddling soon (Not too late but too soon)
By the silvery moon (Not the sun but the moon)
*Country Roads*
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
All my memories, gather round her
Modest lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Fun Fact:
Country Roads was chosen as the Year 4 Cohort performance for the Year 4 Farewell Ceremony 2018.
*By the Blazing Council Firelight*
By the blazing council firelight
We have met in comradeship tonight
Round about, the whispering trees
Guard our golden memories
And so before we close our eyes to sleep
Let us pledge each other that we’ll keep
Scouting friendship strong and deep
Till we meet again
*Goodnight brothers*
Goodnight brothers, goodnight sisters
Goodnight everyone
Until we meet again
