Head, shoulders, knees & toes, knees & toes,
I was working with my test tubes, Head, shoulders, knees & toes, knees & toes,
In my laboratory fine. Eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
When one day I broke my glasses, Head, shoulders, knees & toes, knees & toes.
And I made poor Frankenstein.

And I nailed his hand on tight. Sarasponda
Oh, his teeth were sharp and pearly,
And his eyes came out at night. Sarasponda, sarasponda, sarasponda, ret-set-set,

Oh, his nose, I made it quickly, Ah-do-ray oh!
From a rotten apple core. Ah-do-ray-boom-day oh!
And his tongue was nice and purple, Ah-do-ray-boom-day ret-set-set,
And it hung down to the floor. Ae-say-paw-say oh!

He said, "Fangs", I said, "You're welcome", Seven bottles o' pop, pop!
And he still is running south.
Don't put your trash in my backyard,
Frankenstein helped in the kitchen, My backyard, my backyard
He was baking up a cake. Don't put your trash in my backyard,
When he fell into the mixer, My backyard's full!
And got whipped up by mistake.
Fish and chips and vinegar, vinegar, vinegar
Cooking nicely in the oven, Fish and chips and vinegar,
Oh, the cake it came out fine. Pepper, pepper, pepper, pot!
I told my friends that they were raisins,
But those lumps were Frankenstein!

Make new friends, but keep the old in a most convenient place.
One is silver and the other's gold. I'm sure you couldn't guess it
A circle is round, and never ends, if you guessed a long, long while.
That's how long you should keep your friends. So I'll take it out and put it on
it's a great big Brownie smile.
Peace
Girl Scouts Together
Peace I ask of the , o river,
Peace, peace, peace. Girl Scouts together, that is our song.
When I learn to live serenely Winding the old trails, rocky and long.
Cares will cease. Learning our motto, living our creed.
From the hills I gather courage, Vision of the day to be. Girl Scouts together in every good deed.
Strength to lead and faith to follow,
All are given unto me. Girl Scouts together, happy are we.
Peace I ask of thee, o river, Friendly to neighbors far o'er the sea.
Peace, peace, peace. Faithful to country, loyal to home.
Known as true Girl Scouts wherever we roam.
Taps

All is well, safely rest, We are glad to meet you.
God is nigh. We are glad to greet you.
Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Today Linger
Chorus: Mmm, I want to linger,
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine, Mmm, a little longer,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine. Mmm a little longer here with you.
A million tomorrows shall all pass away,
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today. Mmm, it's such a perfect night,
Mmm it doesn't seem quite right,
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover Mmm, that this should be our last with you.
You'll know who I am by the song that I sing.
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover, Mmm, when come September,
Who cares what the morrow shall bring. Mmm, we'll all remember,
(Chorus) Mmm, our camping days and friendships true.
I can't be contented with yesterday’s glory, Mmm, and as the years go by,
I can't live on promises winter to spring. Mmm, we'll think of you and sigh,
Today is my moment and now is my story, Mmm, this is goodnight and not goodbye.
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.
(Chorus) (repeat first verse)

Chorus: Can a woman be a lawyer? Yes she can, yes she can.
Change the world, come with me, Can a woman fix an engine? Yes she can, yes she
Time to let our dreams fly free. can.
And it comes so easily, that is our way. Can a woman be a drummer? Can a woman be a plumber?
Every moment we're alive, Can she play ball in the summer? Yes she can, yes she can.
It's our love that will survive,
In the Girl Scouts, together, we change the world. Can a woman be a doctor? Yes she can, yes she can.
Can a woman drive a tractor? Yes she can, yes she can.
Sisters of every color, Can a woman lead a nation? Can she run a TV station?

We all make the difference,
When we show the world we care. Just you wait until we're older, then you'll see.
The Girl Scouts are our family, We'll be women in tomorrow's history.

And I believe, together, we change the world. We can sing out loud and clear.

Yes we can, yes we can!
In America, we have so much to give,
To our sisters around the world,

Reach out your hand and someone's there, Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
And I believe, together, we change the world. Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.

To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally.
Can a woman fly an airplane? Yes she can, yes she can. Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.

Can a woman fight a fire? Can a woman change a tire?
On My Honor Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
On my honor, I will try,
There's a duty to be done and I say "Aye". Out of my window looking in the night,
There's a reason here for a reason above, I can see the barges flickering light.
My honor is to try and my duty is to love. Starboard shines green and port is glowing red,
I can see the barges far ahead.
People don't need to know my name, (Chorus)
If I've done any harm, then I'm to blame.
If I've helped another, I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see. If I Had a Hammer
I've tucked away a song or two, If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning.
If you're feeling low, there's one for you. I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land.
If you need a friend, then I will come, I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning,
There's many more where I come from. I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
Come with me where a fire burns bright,
We can even see better in a candle's light. If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning.
And we get more meaning in a campfire's glow, I'd ring it in the evening, all over this land.
Than we'd ever learn in a year or so. I'd ring out danger, I'd ring out a warning,
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters,
We've made a promise to always keep, All over this land.
And we sing 'Day is Done' before we sleep.
We'll be Girl Scouts together, and when we're gone, If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning.
We'll still be a trying and singing this song. I'd sing it in the evening, all over this land.
I'd sing out danger, I'd sing out a warning,
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters,
Barges All over this land.
Out of my window looking in the night, Well I've got a hammer, and I've got a bell.
I can see the barges flickering light. And I've got a song to sing, all over this land.
Silently flows the river to the sea, It's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of freedom,
And the barges too go silently. It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you.
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
The More We Get Together America the Beautiful
The more we get together, together, together, O beautiful for spacious skies,
The more we get together, the happier we'll be. For amber waves of grain,
For your friends are my friends, For purple mountain majesties,
And my friends are your friends. Above the fruited plain.
The more we get together, the happier we'll be. America! America!
God sheds His grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
This Land is Your Land From sea to shining sea.
Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land.
From California, to the New York island.
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters.
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway,
I saw below me that golden valley,
This land was made for you and me.
(Chorus)
When the sun came shining, then I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,
A voice was chanting, as the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.
(Chorus)
My Country Tis' of Thee
My country tis' of thee, Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, Land of the Pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside, Let freedom ring!

G-I-R-L Scouts
(tune: YMCA)
Young girl, there's no need to feel down, I said
Young girl, pick yourself off the ground, I said
Young girl, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.
Young girl, there's a place you can play, I said
Young girl, after school you can stay, I said
Young girl, you can meet some new friends
And they'll be there until the end.
Chorus:
And it's all at G-I-R-L Scouts,
Ya know ya wanna be a G-I-R-L Scout
We can go camping, and we'll have lots of fun
Just playin' outside in the sun!
Girl Scouts, we are calling on you, I said
Girl Scouts, come and join in the fun, I said
Girl Scouts, take a hike in the woods
It's a blast to be on campout!
Girl Scouts, we will sing with our friends, I said
Girl Scouts, join the campfire fun, I said
Girl Scouts, we will stay up all night
We will drive our leaders crazy!
(Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus lines 1 and 2)
