I'd Do Anything


I'd do anything for you, dear, anything
For you mean everything to me
I know that I'd go anywhere for your smile, anywhere
For your smile everywhere I'd see
Let the clouds of grey come along
Surely they won't stay very long
If you'll say --- You're mine alone
I'd risk everything for one kiss everything
Yes, I'd do anything, anything for you

I Don't Know Why


I don't know why, I love you like I do
I don't know why I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why you just do
You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why I just do

If


If I told you that I wanted you to belong to me
Would you say yes or would you tell me that you didn't know
Little darlin'
'N if I promised you forever that we'd always be together
Would you tell me that you love me like that I love you
Little darlin'
You know that I really love you and would do anything to bore you
Tell Tim to give me your answer, I'll say to you
Little darlin'
If you give your heart to only me I'll give my heart to only you
And you would be so happy, won't you say you will
Little darlin'
Dum dum dum da rum da rum
Dum dum dum pa rum pa rum
Rum dum dum da rum da rum
Rum da da da da da
Little darlin'
If you give your heart to only me I'll give my heart to only you
And you would be so happy, won't you say you will
Little darlin'
Dum dum dum da rum da rum
Dum dum dum pa rum pa rum
Rum dum dum da rum da rum
Rum da da da da da

If I Had a Hammer


If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land
I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land

If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening, all over this land

I'd ring about the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land

If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening, all over this land

All over this land

Well I've got a hammer, and I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing, all over this land
It's the hammer of justice, It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land

I Found a Million Dollar Baby


It was a lucky April shower
It was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
In a five and ten cent store
The rain continued for an hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million dollar baby
In a five and ten cent store
She was selling china
And when she made those eyes
I kept buying china
Until the crowd got wise
Incident'ly, if you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet a million dollar baby
From the five and ten cent store

If You Knew Susie


If you knew Susie, like I knew Susie
Oh, Oh, Oh what a girl

If you knew Susie, like I knew Susie
Oh, Oh what a gal

I Met a Bear

(Sipping Cider Through a Straw)

The other day, echo I met a bear, echo
Out in the woods, away out there Point
He looked at me, I looked at him
He sized up me, I sized up him
He says to me, "Why don't you run?"
"'Cause I can see, you have no gun"
I says to him, "That's a good idea"
"Now legs get going, get me out of here!"
I began to run, away from there
But right behind me was that bear
And on the path ahead of me
I saw a tree, Oh glory be
The lowest branch was ten feet up
I'd have to jump and trust to luck
And so I jumped into the air
But I missed that branch away up there
Now don't you fret, and don't you frown
I caught that branch on the way back down
That's all there is, there ain't no more
Unless I meet that bear once more

I Met a Polar Bear

(Sipping Cider Through a Straw)

The other day, I saw a bear
A big white bear, I had to stare
He stared right back, and seemed to grin
His long white fangs, hung to his chin
He move toward me, upon four paws
And those four paws, held six-inch claws
I couldn't move, my feet were froze
As I saw steam, shoot from his nose
But I was safe, because I knew
This polar bear, was at the Zoo!

I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles


I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky
Then like my dreams, they fade and die
Fortunes always hiding, I've looked everywhere
I'm forever blowing pretty bubbles in the air

I'm Happy When I'm Hiking


I'm happy when I'm hiking, pack upon my back
I'm happy when I'm hiking, on (off) the beaten track
Out in the open country, that's the place for me
With a true Scout friend, to the journey's end
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty miles a day
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp . . .

I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover


I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain
Third is the roses that grow in the lane
No need explaining the one remaining
Is somebody I adore
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before

I'm Sitting on Top of the World


I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, just rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song, just singing a song
"Glory Hallelujah", I just phoned the parson
"Hey Par, get ready to call"
Just like Humpty Dumpty, I'm going to fall
I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, just rolling along

I'm So Glad


I'm so glad we're meeting here tonight
I'm so glad we're meeting here tonight
I'm so glad we're meeting here tonight

I'm so glad we're brothers everyone . . .
I'm so glad we're travelling life's road . . .
I'm so glad we're happy to be here . . .

Inch Worm


Inch worm, inch worm
Measuring the marigolds
You and your arithmetic
You'll probably go far
Inch worm, Inch worm
Measuring the marigolds
Seems to me you'd stop and see
How beautiful they are
Two and two are four
Four and four are eight
Eight and eight are sixteen
sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two

In Dublin's Fair City

In Dublin's fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels,alive, alive-o"

Alive alive-o
Alive alive-o
Crying "Cockles and mussels
Alive, alive-o"

She was a fishmonger
And sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
They each wheeled their barrow
Throught streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels,alive, alive-o"

She died of a fever
And no-one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
But her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o"

I Never Picked Cotton


I never picked cotton
But my mother did, and my brother did, and my sister did
And my daddy die young workin' in a coal mine.
When I was just a baby too little for the cotton track

I played in the dirt while the others worked
And they couldn't straighten up their back
And I made myself a promise when I was big enough to run
That I'd never stay a single day in that Oklahoma sun
And ...

Folks said that I grew up early, and that the farm couldn't hold me then
So I stole ten bucks and a pick up truck and I never went back again
Then it was fast cars and whiskey, long haired girls and fun
I had ev'rything that money could bring and I took it all with a gun
And ...

It was Saturday night in Memphis when a redneck grabbed my shirt
And he said go back to your cotton sack, I left him dyin' in the dirt
And they'll take me in the mornin' to the gallows just outside
And in the time I've got there ain't an awful lot that I can look back on with pride
And ...

In My Father's House


Oh come and go with me (allelujah)
To my father's house (allelujah)
To my father's house (allelujah)
To my father's house
Oh come and go with me (allelujah)
To my father's house
Where there's peace (forever) peace (forever peace)
There's sweet communion there ...
There'll be no parting there ...

In the Evening by the Moonlight


In the evening, by the moonlight, you could hear those campers singing
In the evening, by the moonlight, you could hear those echoes ringing
How the campers would enjoy it! They would sit all night and listen
As we sang in the evening, by the moonlight (Rawdy-do-dah!)

Second time through: Group responds to each "ing" word and "moonlight" with "rawdy-do-dah" (except for "evening" in the last line)

In the Good Old Summertime


In the good old summer time, in the good old summer time
Strolling through the shady lanes with your baby mine
You hold her hand and she holds yours, and that's a very good sign
That she's your tootsey wootsey in the good old summertime

I've Got a Sausage

I've got a sausage
A bonny bonny sausage
If you put it in the oven it will swell
If you prick it with a thistle
The blooming thing will whistle
Bonny my Scots blue gall

Irish Lullaby


Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra, Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra, Hush, now don't you cry
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra, Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra, That's an Irish Lullaby

I'se the B'y


I'se the b'y that builds the boat
And I'se the b'y that sails her
I'se the b'y that catches the fish
And takes 'em home to Lizer

Hip yer partner, Sally Tibo
Hip yer partner, Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour
All 'round the circle

Sods and rinds to cover yer flake
Cake and tea for supper
Codfish in the spring of the year
Fried in maggoty butter

I don't want your maggoty fish
That's no good for winter
I could buy as good as that
Down in Bonavista

I took Lizer to a dance
And faith, but she could travel
And every step that she did take
Was up to her knees in gravel

It Ain't Gonna Rain No More

It aint gonna rain no more no more
It aint gonna rain no more
So how the heck can I wash my neck
If the soap's in the house next door

OR

It aint gonna rain no more no more
It aint gonna rain no more
How the hell can the old folks tell
If it aint gonna rain no more

Mary had a little Lamb
She fed it castor oil
And everywhere that Mary went
it fertilized the soil

Mary had a little Lamb
She also had a duck
She put them on the windowsill
To see if they would fall off

Mary had a little watch
She swallowed it one day
And so she took some castor oil
To pass the time away

The castor oil it did not work
The watch refused to pass
So if you want to know the time
Just look up ... at the clock

Mary had a little Lamb
It followed her to school
They tied a brick around its neck
And drowned it in the pool.

Mary had a bicycle
She rode it back to front
And every time she turned a bend
The spokes went up her leg

Mary had a little Lamb
She took it to the zoo
It got raped by an elephant
And had a kangaroo

Mary had a little Lamb
Her father shot it dead
She still takes the lamb to school
Between two bits of bread

Mary had a little Lamb
You've heard that tale before
But have you heard she passed her plate
And had a little more

Mary had a little lamb
She tied it to a pylon
10 000 volts shot up its ...leg
And turned its wool to nylon

Mary had an little lamb
It danced in skips and hops
It danced into the road one day
And ended up as chops

Mary had a little lamb
She also had a bear
I've often seen her little lamb
But I've never seen her bare

Mary had a little dress
Its seam was split up high
And every where that Mary went
The boys could see her thigh

Mary had another dress
Its seam was split up front
But she never wore that one!

Mary had a little lamb
The doctor was surprised
But when Old McDonald had a farm
He couldn't believe his eyes

Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was black as soot
And everywhere that Mary went
Its sooty foot he put

Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
Maar 'n ram het die lam gevang
En kyk hoe lyk hy nou!

They sat upon the grassy bank
And she was all a-quiver...
He undid her suspender belt
And her leg fell into the river!

Mary had a little lamb
and tied it to the heater
every time it turned around
it burned its little peter!

Mary had a little lamb
She ate it with mint sauce
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb went too, of course

Mary had a little lamb
And it was always grunting
She tied to the garden fence
And kicked it's ... favourite soccerball

Mary is a proper girl
She goes to church on Sundays
She prays that she will have the strength
To chase the boys on Mondays

A peanut sat on a railroad track
His heart was all a-flutter
A chooka train came round the bend
TOOT TOOT Peanut butter

A hen and a chicken went for a walk
Just to stretch their legs
A motorcar came round the bend
TOOT TOOT Ham and eggs

Oh! the night was dark and dreary
The air was full of sleet
The old man stood out in the storm
His shoes were full of feet

Oh! Mosquito he fly high
Mosquito he fly low
If old man 'Skeeta light on me
He ain't gonna fly no more

Oh, of all the fishes in the sea
My favorite is the bass
He climbs up in the seaweed trees
And slides down on his hands and knees

An old man lay down by a sewer
And by a sewer he died
Now, at the coroner's request
They called it sewer-side

A golf ball sailin' thru the air
Whizzed by a man a hummin'
He heard a caddy holler, "Fore!"
An' he thought three more were comin'

"The way to tell the twins apart"
The proud father said
"I put my finger in Willie's mouth
If he bites it, then it's Ned"

When boating, never quarrel
For you'll find, without a doubt
A boat is not the proper place
To have a falling out

"The coffee is exhausted, Sir"
The diner was advised
Says he, "It's been so weak of late
I'm really not surprised"

There's a gal up in the hills
She's awfully shy and meek
She undresses in the dark
Because the mountains peak

Mary had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Mary went to heaven
The steamboat went "Toot, toot"

When Mary had a little lamb
The doctor almost cried
But when Ol' MacDonald had a farm
The doctor almost died

Said baby tern to mother tern
"Can I have a brother"
"Yes" said mom to baby tern
"One good tern deserves another"

Oh for a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldon is heard a discouraging word
For what can an antelope say?

Itched Up


(John Brown's Body)


The Mosquitoes wore tuxedoes
And the blackflies wore black ties,
The bride she was a spider
And the groom he was a snake,
They w;re going to a wedding
In my Aunt Lucy's bedding,
And she was the wedding cake.

Glory, glory, hallelujah,
You don't feel itchy, Aunty, do ya?
Glory, glory, hallelujaih,
The bugs marched down the aisle.

The little honeymooners
Were nice and cozy in her bloomers,
And the guests all took their places
In Aunt Lucy's pillowcases.
The little beasts had such a feast,
They danced and flew and soared,
All while Aunt Lucy snored.

It Hurts To Be In Love


I hurts to be in love when the only one you love
Turns out to be someone who's not in love with you
It hurts to love her so when deep down inside you know
She will never want you, no matter what you do.
And so you cry a little bit (to be in love)
Oh I cry a little bit (to be in love)
Day and night, night and day, It hurts to be in love this way
How long can I exist, wanting things I never get?
She gives all her kisses to everybody else
She thinks I'm just a friend
Though it hurts, I must pretend
The only way to keep her is to keep it to myself
And so I cry a little bit (to be in love)
Day and night, night and day, It hurts to be in love this way
And so I cry a little bit (to be in love)
Oh I die a little bit (to be in love)
Day and night, night and day, It hurts to be in love this way
It hurts to be in love
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love night and day, day and night
It hurts to be in love

It's a Good Time to get Acquainted

(Tipperary)

It's a good time to get acquainted
It's a good time to know
Who is sitting close beside you
And to smile and say "Hello"
Goodbye, chilly feeling
Goodbye, glassy stare
If we all join hands and pull together
We're sure to get there

It's a Long Way to Tipperary


It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know
Goodbye Piccadilly
Farewell Leicester Square
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there

It's an Insect World

It's Magic


You sigh, the song begins
You speak and I hear violins, It's magic
The stars desert the skies
And rush to nestle in your eyes, It's magic
Without a golden wand or mystic charms
Fantastic things begin
When I am in your arms
When we walk hand in hand
The world becomes a wonderland, It's magic
How else can I explain those rainbows
When there is no rain, It's magic
Why do I tell myself
These things that happen are all really true?
When in my heart I know,
The magic is my love for you

It was Friday Night when we Set Sail (The Mermaid)


It was Friday night when we set sail
And we were not far from the land
When the captain spied a lovely mermaid
With a comb and a brush in her hand, her hand, her hand
With a comb and a brush in her hand

Oh! the ocean waves may roll, may roll
And the stormy winds may blow, may blow-o
But we poor sailors go skipping to the tops
While the land-lubbers lie down below, below, below
While the land-lubbers lie down below

Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
And a fine old man was he
Saying, "This fishy mermaid has warned us of our doom
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea!"

Then up spoke the mate of our gallant ship
And a well spoken man was he
"I've married a wife in Salem Town
And tonight she a widow will be, will be, will be
And tonight she a widow will be"

Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
And a RED HOT cook was he
"I care much more for my kettles and my pots
Than I do for the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea
Than I do for the bottom of the sea

Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship
And a scurvy little rascal was he
"I've nary a soul in Salem Town
Who will care what happened to me, to me, to me
Who will care what happened to me

(Slowly) Then three times round, went our gallant ship
Then three times round went she
Then three times round, went our gallant ship
And she sank to the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea
And she sank to the bottom of the sea

It Was Love


Alone at the corner table, he was watching me watching her
I was singing about an old flame burning, he was hanging on every word
I was pouring out my feelings, he was pouring out the wine
Through the smoke and the beer it was perfectly clear
That we were judging each others mind

It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms with that look in her face
Flyin' somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love, just ten feet away.

I just knew my closing song would do it, I knew that I was heaven bound
I could tell she was moved, but before I was through me
This stranger walked up and sat down
He was trying his best to impress her, but she never took her eyes off
When he got up and left, I said to myself; Woe a o what a night this will be

I've Been Working On The Railroad


I've been working on the railroad
All the live long day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away
Can't you hear the whistle blowing?
Rise up so early in the morn
Don't you hear the captain shouting
"Dinah, blow your horn"
Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the old banjo, and singing
"Fee-fi, fiddle-e-i-o, Fee-fi-fiddle-e-i-o
Fee-fi-fiddle-e-i-o," strumming on the old banjo

I-Vee

(My Bonnie)

My body has calomine lotion
My body's as sore as can be
The flowers I gathered for Granny
Turned out to be poison I-Vee
Don't touch, don't touch
You'll get a rash from I-Veee
It will, itch bad
And it looks worse than ac-nee

I've Got Sixpence


I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly sixpence
I've got sixpence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and twopence to lend
And twopence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

No cares have I to grieve me, no pretty little girls to deceive me
I'm as happy as a lark, believe me. As we go rolling, rolling home
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home to my home by the sea, boom, boom, boom
Happy as the day when our leaders get their pay
As we go rolling, rolling home

I've got fourpence, jolly, jolly fourpence
I've got fourpence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and twopence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

I've got twopence, jolly, jolly twopence
I've got twopence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

I've got no pence, jolly, jolly no pence . . .
I've got no pence, to last me all my life
I've got no pence to spend, and no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

I've Got That Scouting Spirit


I've got that Scouting spirit up in my head, up in my head, up in my head
I've got that Scouting spirit up in my head, up in my head to stay

2. I've got that Scouting spirit deep in my heart
3. I've got that Scouting spirit down in my feet
4. I've got that Scouting spirit all over me

I've Got the Joy


I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart
Down in my heart, down in my heart
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart
Down in my heart to stay
And I'm so very happy, I've got the love of Jesus in my heart
And I'm so happy, so very happy
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart

I Whistle a Happy Tune


Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune, so no one will suspect I'm afraid
While shivering in my shoes, I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune, and no one ever knows I'm afraid
The result of this deception is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people I fear, I fool myself as well!
I whistle a happy tune and every single time
The happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid
Make believe you're brave, and the trick will take you far
You may be as brave as you make believe you are

I Wish I Was

(If You're Happy)
