Make New Friends (Round Song)





Make new friends, but keep the old


One is silver and the other is gold.

A circle's round, it has no end

That's how long I want to be your friend

I have a hand, and you have another

Put them together and we have each other.
~

Each Campfire Lights Anew




Each campfire lights anew

The flame of friendship true.

The joy we've had in knowing you

Will last our whole life through.



~

Cuckoo




Oh I went to Peter's flowing stream

Where the water's so good

And I heard there the cukoo

As she called from the woods



Ho-li-ah, ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah, Ho-le-rah cukoo.

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah, Ho-le-rah cuckoo.

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah, Ho-le-rah cukoo

Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah-ho.




A - Patter on knees; 1 - slap knees; 2 -clap hands; 3 -snap fingers.

Vreneli





O Vreneli, my pretty one

Pray tell me where's your home?

My home, it is in Zwitzerland

It's made of wood and stone

My home, it is in Zwitzerland

It's made of wood and stone.




Yo, ho, ho, Tra la, la (7x)

Who Made All ...?



Who made all the birds that fly

Birds that fly, birds that fly?

Who made all the birst that fly?

God in heaven above.



Who made all the flowers that bloom?

Who made all the fish that swim?

Who made all the dogs that bark?

Who made all the bunnies that hop?

Who made both of you and me?

She'll Be Coming Down the Mountain



She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes (whoo whoo)

She'll be comin' round the mountain

Blowin' steam off like a fountain,

She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes. (whoo whoo)

Girl Scouts Together


Girl Scouts together, that is our song.

Winding the old trails, rocky and long.

Learning our motto, living our creed.

Girl Scouts together in every good deed.

Girl Scouts together, happy are we.

Friendly to neighbors, for o'er the sea.

Faithful to country, loyal to home.

Known as true Girl Scouts, wherever we roam.
