Camp Songs

Sing Your Heart Out!

Camp would not be complete without singing.  Whether around the campfire, in the dining hall, or along the trail, it's always time for a song.

We have included the words below to some of our camp favorites.  If you want more, check out our song book.

Silly Songs

BANANA SLUG SONG
Sung to the tune of ‘Twist and Shout’

You know I love my baby (love my baby)
I love the way that she hugs (way that she hugs)
Some people don’t understand it (don’t understand it)
She’s a banana slug (banana slug)

Chorus:
BA - NA - NA SLUG! SLUG! SLUG! SLUG!
Banana slug, banananananana, banana slug, banananananana

The way you wiggle your antennae
You know you give me such bliss
Come one come on come on banana slug
Won’t you blow me a kiss.

The way you slide through the forest
You know you look so fine
Come on come on come on banana slug
Won’t you show me your slime.

Chorus

He’s got just one foot
He ain’t got no toes
He hangs out in the forest
And helps it decompose.

On the side of her head
She’s got an all-purpose hole
She’s got just one foot
But plenty of soul.

Chorus

You know I love my baby
But he don’t need me
That’s because he’s hermaphroditic
That means he’s also a she!

Sticky as peanut butter
Shade of yellow
Looks like a banana
But oh so mellow!

Shake it up baby
Twist and slime
Come on come on come on banana slug
Oh you slime so fine.
​
ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Announcements, announcements, announcements
What a horrible way to die, a horrible way to die.
A horrible way to be talked to death,
A horrible way to die.
Announcements, announcements, announcements!

Have you ever seen a windbag,
a windbag, a windbag?
Have you ever seen a windbag,
A windbag like her?

Make the speeches nice and short,
Nice and short, nice and short.
Make the speeches nice and short,
We don’t like ‘em.

The window! The window!
The second story window.
With a heave and ho and a mighty throw,
We threw her out the window.

We sold our cow, we sold our cow.
We have no use for your bull now.

One little two, little three little announcements
Four little five little six little announcements.
Seven, little eight little nine little announcements
Ten little announcements more.

Rent a nag, rent a nag,
Rent a nag today.
Our directors are the best in each and every way!
THE BIRDIE SONG
Way up in the sky,
The little birds fly,
While down in their nests,
The little birds rest.

With a wing on the left
And a wing on the right,
The little birds sleep
All through the night
SHHHHHH! Their sleeping!

THE BRIGHT SUN COMES UP,
THE DEW FALLS AWAY!
Good morning, good morning
The little birds say!

Serene Serenades

THE BUTANO SONG
Lyrics by our very own E*C*H*O
​

Friendly gathering place,
Starlit skies above.
Redwood covered hills,
Outdoors that I love.
Butano, you’re for me,
Girl Scout paradise.
Here we’re truly free,
Tonight.

Wind in whispering wood,
Seagulls soaring high.
Wooden cabins rise,
Against a deep blue sky.
Butano you’re for me,
Girl Scout paradise.
Here, we’re truly free,
Tonight.
THIS PRETTY PLANET
Sung as a round
​

This pretty planet spinning through space, You're a garden, you're a harbor, You're a holy place.

Golden sun going down, Gentle blue giant spin us around.

All through the night, safe 'til the morning light
