Hello, my name is Joe Hello, my name is Joe. I work in a button factory. I have a wife, a dog, and a family. One day, my boss came up to me and said:
Hey Joe, are you busy? I said no. He said turn the button with your “right hand” (Actions: At the end of the first verse, pretend you're turning a button with your right hand. Then repeat the chant, adding your left hand. Then one foot, then both feet, then your head are added. Final action is to collapse as if exhausted.)
“Left hand” - “right foot” - “left foot” - “head” - “tongue”
-
- “yes!”
(then collapse as if exhausted)
Bug Juice (similar tune to “On top of old Smokey�) At camp with the Cub 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 killed 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.
Bazooka Bubblegum (verses are repeat after me, chorus is all together)
My momma gave me a penny She told me to buy a henny But I didn’t buy no henny (Chorus)
Instead, I bought bubblegum. Bazooka-zooka bubblegum, Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
My momma gave me a nickel She told me to buy a pickle But I didn’t buy no pickle (Chorus)
My momma gave me a dime She told me to buy a lime But I didn’t buy no lime (Chorus)
My momma gave me a quarter She told me to buy some water But I didn’t buy no water (Chorus)
My momma gave me a dollar She told me to buy a collar But I didn’t buy no collar (Chorus)
My momma gave me a five She told me to stay alive But I didn’t stay alive (all together) Instead, I choked on bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum, Bazooka-zooka bubblegum

On Top of Spaghetti (Tune: On Top of Old Smokie)
On top of spaghetti, All covered with cheese. I lost my poor meatball, When somebody sneezed. It rolled off the table, And onto the floor. And then my poor meatball, Rolled out of the door. It rolled in the garden, And under a bush. And then my poor meatball, Was nothing but mush. The mush was as tasty As tasty could be, And early next summer It grew into a tree. The tree was all covered With beautiful moss, It grew lovely meatballs And tomato sauce. So if you eat spaghetti, All covered with cheese, Hold on to your meatballs And don't ever sneeze
Underwear Tune: "Over There"
Underwear, Underwear, How I itch in my woolen underwear. How I wish I'd gotten a pair of cotton, So I wouldn't itch everywhere. BVDs make me sneeze. When the breeze from the trees Hits my knees. Coming over, I'm coming over, In my gosh darned, itchy, Woolen underwear. Mom, Wash My Underwear Tune: "God Bless America"
Mom, wash my underwear, my only pair. We can find them, and move them, From the heap by the side of the chair. To the washer, to the clothesline, To my backpack, to my rear. Mom, wash my underwear, my only pair. Mom, wash my underwear, my only pair.
My Leader (Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
My leader fell into a pothole In a glacier while climbing an Alp. He's still there after 50 long winters, And all you can see is his scalp. Chorus: Bring back, bring back, O bring back my leader to me, to me. Bring back, bring back, O bring back my leader to me, to me.
My leader was proud of his whiskers, To shave them would give him the blues. They hung all the way to his ankles, And he used them for shining his shoes. Chorus
My leader had faith in a sailboat He had built from an old hollow tree. My leader set sail for Australia, Now my leader lies under the sea. Chorus
My leader made friends with hyenas, He gave them a ride on his raft. When a crocodile reached up and grabbed him, The hyenas just sat there and laughed. Chorus
My leader annoyed his dear parents They tossed him right out of the bus. And if we don't mend our behavior, Why that's what will happen to us. Chorus
Taps (Sing with reverence)
Day is done Gone the sun From the Lakes From the hills From the sky All is well Safely rest God is nigh. Fading light Dims the sight, And a star gems the sky, Gleaming bright, From afar, Drawing nigh, Falls the night. Thanks and praise, For our days, Neath the sun, Neath the stars, Neath the sky, As we go, This we know, God is nigh.
Mister Toad (Sung to the tune of Oh, Christmas Tree.)
Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? Is it because you didn't know That passing cars could hurt you so? Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? Is it because you didn't care? You look so peaceful lying there. Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? You used to be so green and fat But now you're red and oh so flat. Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad Why did you jump into the road? I see you took a heavy load, cause you are now part of the road. Oh Mister Toad, oh Mister Toad

I've Got That Cub Scout Feeling I've got that Cub Scout feeling up in my head, Up in my head, up in my head. I've got that Cub Scout feeling up in my head, Up in my head to stay. 2. I've got that Cub Scout feeling down in my feet. 3. I've got that Cub Scout feeling deep in my heart. 4. I've got that Cub Scout feeling all over me.
Softly Fall the light of day (All must stand, join hands and sway gently together)
Softly falls the light of day As our campfire fades away, Silently each Scout should ask “Have I done my daily task?” “Have I kept my honour bright? Can I guiltless sleep tonight? Have I done and have I dared, Everything to be prepared?” “I have kept my honour bright, I can guiltless sleep tonight, I have done and I have dared, Everything to be prepared”
