*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

Under the bamboo tree

And everynight on a pale moonlight

It sounded like this to me

Barump

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

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
