Songs

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught

my heart to fear.

And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear

the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

we have already come.

T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far

and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be

as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years

bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to sing God's praise

then when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.

Bug Juice

Sing to the tune "On Top of Old Smokey"

At camp with the Boy Scouts,

they gave us a drink.

We thought it was kool-aid

because it was pink.

But the thing that they gave us

would gross out a moose,

for that great-tasting pink drink

was really bug juice.

It looked fresh and fruity

like tasty kool-aid

but the bugs that were in it

were murdered with raid.

We drank it by gallons.

We drank it by tons.

But, then the next morning

we all had the runs.

So if you drink bug juice

and a fly drives you mad

he's just getting even

'cause you swallowed his dad.

Fast Food Frenzy

Separate Scouts into groups by their favorite fast food chain (Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or McDonalds)
Show them the motions for each fast food chain:

A. Pizza Hut Scouts make the motion of a house above their heads

B. Kentucky Fried Chicken Scouts tuck their hands in their arm pits and make chicken wing motions

C. McDonalds Scouts start with both index fingers touching in front of their foreheads and make a large rounded M over their heads

Sing the song slowly with the motions
Repeat the song, daring the Scouts to go faster each time until they are worked up into a frenzy.

A Pizza Hut, a Pizza Hut

Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut

A Pizza Hut, a Pizza Hut

Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut

McDonalds, McDonalds

Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut

McDonalds, McDonalds

Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut

God Bless My Underwear

Sing to the tune "God Bless America"

God bless my under wear, my only pair

Stand beside them and guide them

Through the rips and the holes and the tears.

From the washer to the dryer

To the clothesline, in the air!

God bless my underwear, my only pair

God bless my underwear, or I'll be bare.

Road Kill Stew

Sing to the tune "Three Blind Mice"

Road kill stew,

Tastes so good,

Just like it should.

First you go down to the interstate,

You wait for a critter to meet its fate,

You take it home and you make it great,

Road kill stew,

Road kill stew.

Scout Vespers

Sing to the tune "Oh Christmas Tree"

Softly falls the light of day,

While our campfire fades away.

Silently each Scout should ask

Have I done my daily task?

Have I kept my honor bright?

Can I guiltless sleep tonight?

Have I done and have I dared

Everything to be prepared?

Listen Lord, oh listen Lord,

As I whisper soft and low.

Bless my mom and Bless my dad,

These are things that they should know.

I will keep my honor Bright,

The oath and law will be my guide.

And mom and dad this you should know,

Deep in my heart I love you so.

Tom the Toad

Sing to the tune "Oh Christmas Tree"

Oh Tom the Toad, Oh Tom the Toad,
