Camp Songs

Over the weekend, I was really hard pressed to sing to the girls. We did a lot of walking which I am sure would have gone a lot faster had I some songs to keep the marching going. Problem is, I don't know very many camp songs.

I did learn a new one for me called Black Socks.

Black Socks
They never get dirty
The longer you wear them
The blacker they get.

Sometimes
I think I should wash them
But something keeps telling me
"Don't do it yet!"
Not yet,
Not yet,
Not yet.

I actually tried to teach them Show Me the Way to Go Home which was made popular by the movie Jaws.


It didn't really stick. We ended up singing Knick Knack Paddy Wack.

I kind of think that maybe a popular song that I already know would be a better choice. This morning I was listening to the radio and Born To Be Wild came on. Couldn't you just see a group of 7 year old girls singing that? So I'm putting it out to you. If you have any ideas for popular songs that would make good camp songs, put it in the commments. I'll teach it to my Brownies if I can.

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild
