1. Little Green Frog Song
Lyrics:
Eee Ah went the little green frog one day
Eee Ah went the little green frog.
Eee Ah went the little green frog one day
His eyes went Eee and Ah.
Honk, Honk, went the big blue bus one day
Squish, Squash, went the little green frog.
His eyes don’t go Eee Ah any more
‘Cause he got eaten up by a dog. Woof! Woof!
2. Littlest Worm Song
Like ‘I Met a Bear’. Repeat short line after leader, then everyone sings verse together.
Lyrics:
The littlest worm
I ever saw,
Was stuck inside
My soda straw.
everyone: The littlest worm I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda straw.
He said to me,
don’t take a sip.
For if you do,
I’ll surely slip.
everyone: He said to me don’t take a sip, for if you do I’ll surely slip.
I took a sip
and he went down
right through my pipes
he must have drowned.
everyone: I took a sip and he went down, right through my pipes he must have drowned.
I coughed him up
and he was dead.
I buried him
in my counselor’s bed.
He was my pal.
He was my friend.
But now he’s gone
and that’s the end.
3. Don’t Wear No Socks Song
(Instead of “Your Momma”, you could use “Camp Staff”, “Boy Scouts”, “Our Gang”, … whatever you want)
Your Mama don’t wear no socks
A ding dong
I saw ’em when she took ’em off
A ding dong
She threw them in the tree
A ding dong
Now the dogs refuse to pee
A ding dong dong dong dong
A ding dong dong dong dong
A ding dong
She threw them in the lake – the fish began to regurgitate.
She threw them on my bed – now my poor Teddy’s dead
She threw them in her bed – now dad sleeps in the shed
She threw them under the bed – left all the cockroaches dead
She served them up for lunch – but no one wanted much
She put them in the fridge – now we all live under a bridge
She threw them in the sky – now Superman refuses to fly
She threw them in the air – now Superman’s on medicare
She threw them over the fence – haven’t seen the neighbor since
She threw them on the wall – now Spiderman won’t crawl
She threw them on the ceiling – now the paint’s all peeling
She threw them in a boat – now that boat can’t float
She threw them at the cat – now the cat’s a welcome mat
She threw them on the clock – now the clock don’t tick or tock
She threw them up towards heaven – brought down a 7-4-7
She threw them in the garbage can – killed 3 rats and the garbage man
She threw them in the washing machine – now all the clothes are green
She threw them at a squirrel – made that poor squirrel hurl
She threw them at a rock – that rock got up and walked
She threw them at a bus – you should have heard it cuss
She threw them at a flower – now it’s praying for an April shower
She threw them in the fire – that made the fire expire
She threw them in my Coke – I took a sip and nearly croaked.
She threw them at the sun – Made the sun dial 911
She threw them on a telephone wire – Started the Chicago fire
She threw them in a hole – Wouldn’t touch ’em with a 10 foot pole
She thew them in outer space – That’s the end of the human race
She threw them at King Kong – That’s the end of this silly song

6. Be a Good Scout Song
Deanna Durbin sang this in the 1938 movie “That Certain Age”.
Lyrics:
Be a good Scout, and always wear a smile,
Be a good Scout, be cheerful all the while,
It’s the creed, yes indeed, that a Scout must practice gaily.
Help those in need – do a Good Turn daily,
Be a good Scout – be Loyal, Clean and Brave,
Never say die, just let your banner wave,
On your honor, do your best
When they put you to the test.
And always be a good scout.
7. Ain’t No Bugs on Me Song
Oh, there ain’t no bugs on me, on me.
There ain’t no bugs on me
There may be bugs on some of you mugs
But there ain’t no bugs on me.
Oh there ain’t no flies on me, on me.
There ain’t no flies on me.
There may be flies on some of you guys
But there ain’t no flies on me.
Well, the Juney bug comes in the month of June
The lightning bug comes in May
Bed bug comes just any old time
But, they’re not going to stay
Well, a bull frog sittin’ on a lily pad
Looking up at the sky
The lily pad broke and the frog fell in
He got water all in his eye.
There ain’t no frogs on us.
There ain’t no frogs on us.
There might be frogs on some of you dogs,
But there ain’t no frogs on us.
Mosquito he fly high
Mosquito he fly low
If old mosquito lands on me
He ain’t a gonna fly no mo’
A peanut sittin’ on a railroad track
His heart was all a flutter
Along come a choo-choo on the track
Toot! Toot! Peanut butter!
A cow walked on the railroad track,
the train was coming fast.
The train got off the railroad track
to let the cow go past!
As I went walking through the woods
Humming a tune so gaily
The wind come whistling through the trees
And froze my ukelele
8. Boom Boom Ain’t It Great to be Crazy Song
This Song is meant for Cub Scouts.
Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.
The Tune:
Lyrics:
Chorus:
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy? (or Camping, or Scouting, or …)
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone shooting dice
The horse he slipped and fell on the flea
‘Whoops,’ said the flea, ‘There’s a horse on me!’
– Chorus
Way down South where bananas grow
A grasshopper stepped on an elephant’s toe
The elephant cried, with tears in his eyes
‘Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?’
– Chorus
Way up North where there’s ice and snow
There lived a penguin and his name was Joe
He got so tired of black and white
He wore pink pajamas to the dance last night!
– Chorus
Eli, Eli had some socks
A dollar a pair and a nickel a box
The more you wear ’em the better they get
And you put ’em in the water and they don’t get wet!
– Chorus
Late last night, I had a real strange dream,
Ate a nine-pound marshmallow my mom gave me,
When I woke up, I knew somethinf was wrong,
I looked around and saw my pillow was gone!
– Chorus
9. All the Raindrops Song
Lyrics:
If all the raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
If all the raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be!
If all the snowflakes
Were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
If all the snowflakes
Were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be!
If all the sunbeams
Were bubblegum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
If all the sunbeams
Were bubblegum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be!
10. Akela’s Trail Song
Lyrics:
It’s a world of fun, it’s a world of joy,
And a smile comes easy to every boy.
Things that we’ve learned today,
Lead along Akela’s way.
We are Cub Scouts after all.
Chorus:
We are Cub Scouts after all,
To all Cub Scouts send the call.
Show Akela we stand tall,
We are Cub Scouts after all.
Take his trail it goes Wolf, Bear, Webelos.
As our doodles show, it’s not far to go.
Now our goal is in sight,
It’s the Arrow of Light.
We are Cub Scouts after all.
– Chorus
When we seek our quest, we will do our best,
On Akela’s trail, we will never fail.
And without any doubts,
We will be loyal Scouts.
We are Cub Scouts after all.
– Chorus
11. All God’s Critters Song
Lyrics:
Chorus:
All God’s critters got a place in the choir
Some sing lower and some sing higher
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
And some just clap their hands or paws,
Or anything they got now.
Listen to the bass, it’s the one on the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big t’do
And the old cow just goes moo.
The dogs and the cats they take up the middle
While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles,
The donkey brays and the pony neighs
And the old coyote howls.
Chorus
Listen to the top where the little birds sing
On the melodies with the high notes ringing,
The hoot owl hollers over everything
And the jaybird disagrees.
Singin’ in the night time, singing in the day,
The little duck quacks, then he’s on his way.
The ‘possum ain’t got much to say
And the porcupine talks to himself.
Chorus
It’s a simple song of living sung everywhere
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,
The grumpy alligator the the hawk above,
The sly raccoon and the turtle dove.
12. Battle Hymn Scouting Verses Song
The Weekend
I have seen the sky in darkness, I have seen it in the sun,
I have felt the rain upon me, I’ve enjoyed the snowy fun.
When the weather isn’t cloudy or the wind it doesn’t blow.
It isn’t only raining, it’s the weekend too, you know.
Glory, glory, it’s the weekend!
Glory, glory, it’s the weekend!
I can tell because it’s raining and it’s 42 below,
As we Scouts go marching on.
Ode to a Den Leader
After raising six sweet daughters, I was glad to have a son.
I thought of all the games we’d play, the picnics, hikes and fun.
I thought of how we’d sit and talk for hours when day is done.
Oh, wasn’t I the foolish one.
Chorus:
Glory, glory, I’m a leader.
How’d I get to be a leader?
All I ever wanted was to have a little fun
Cub Scouting with my son.
I tried to make excuses and their pleas to ignore.
I said, ‘I’m not equipped!’ they said, ‘Oh, yes you are, what more,
We will train you in the basics and outfit you for the corps.’
And they shoved me out the door.
Chorus
They taught me how to sing a song and how to tie a knot.
They taught me how to do a skit, make puppets on the spot.
They taught me all I’d need to know, at least that’s what I thought.
‘Til a Cub came in with a snake that he’d caught!
Chorus
The time arrived for hiking, just my Webelos den and me.
They say the woods are full of many sights for you to see.
I know we sure were sights when we were found, eventually.
And I do this all for free.
Chorus
But even though I mumble and I grumble and I pout
And many times I wonder what’s the best way to get out.
When all is said and done there really isn’t any doubt.
I’m glad to be a scout!
Glory, glory, I’m a leader!
I’m so glad to be a leader!
When all is said and done and then they lay me to my rest,
They’ll say I did my best!
13. Bug Juice Song
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
because you swallowed his dad.
14. Call a Scout Song
When you’re down and feeling blue,
Call a Scout.
They will know just what to do,
Call a Scout.
If you’re ever in a hurry,
Don’t take the time to worry,
All you have to do is shout,
Call a Scout.
If you need a helping hand,
Call a Scout.
They’ll take your garbage out,
Call a Scout.
If the traffic that you meet,
Has you scared to cross the street,
They’ll be there to help you out,
Call a Scout.
Now the Scouts are always helpful,
Don’t you see.
They will lend a helping hand,
To you and me.
For they’re wise in what they do.
They are kind and cheerful too.
And they always help you out.
Call a Scout.
15. Beaver Dance Song
Beavers One, Beavers All,
Let’s all do the Beaver crawl!

(Do crazy dance and Nah, Nah, Na-nah singing of Hammer Time song)
16. Aardvark Song
I love my Aardvark

‘Neath the cottonwood tree
My little aardvark goes

I’ll be a Webelos.
So if you want to come with me,
There’s magic in the air.

Search, Discover, and Share.
There’s a lot to do
And we’ll share it with you!
We’ve really got the knack
Of having fun in our Cub Scout Pack.
24. All Things Beautiful
Cub 1: All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Cub 2: Each little flower that opens,
The river running by,
The morning and the sunset,
That lighteth up the sky.
Cub 3: The tall trees in the greenwood,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them, every one.
Cub 4: He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who hath made all things well.
