Bumble Bee Song

I'm taking home a baby bumble-bee,       one hand cupped over other palm

Won't my mummy be surprised at me?

I'm taking home a baby bumble-bee,       one hand cupped over other palm

Ow - it's stung me!                                 take hand away suddenly

I'm squashing up a baby bumble-bee,       squash hands together

Won't my mummy be surprised at me?

I'm squashing up a baby bumble-bee,       squash hands together

Urrrrr - blood!                                             look at both palms, horror on face

I'm licking up a baby bumble-bee,          lick palms

Won't my mummy be surprised at me?

I'm licking up a baby bumble-bee,          lick palms

Yuck - no salt!                                       pull sour face

I'm bringing up a baby bumble-bee,        hold stomach, pretend to vomit

Won't my mummy be surprised at me?

I'm bringing up a baby bumble-bee,        hold stomach, pretend to vomit

Oo - what a mess!                                   wipe hands down side

I'm washing off a baby bumble-bee,        pretend to wash hands, wipe trousers

Won't my mummy be surprised at me?

I'm wiping off a baby bumble-bee,         pretend to wash hands, wipe trousers

Hey mum - What's for tea?

C

Coca Cola                     

Coca Cola, Coca Cola,                               to tune of Frere Jacques

Burp, burp, burp.

Down by the Banks of the Hanky Panky

Important - Do not rehearse this song with the Beavers! It will spoil the surprise on the day

All leaders stand at the front to perform this totally stupid song. Beavers to gradually pick up the words and actions

Down by the banks of the Hanky Panky,          move alternate foot sideways to meet other foot

Where the bullfrogs leap from bank to bank-ee,     jump to and fro

With a Hey, Ho, Hi, Hum,                                       arms up, down, up, down

Hey, sock it to me,                                                 turn slowly round swinging arms

With a                                                                  stand up straight

Ker-plop!                                                              right arm across waist, bow down

Down in the Jungle

Stand up to start

Down in the jungle where nobody goes,

A little washer woman is washing her clothes,

With a rub-a-dub here and a rub-a-dub there, clench fists, push back & forwards at
                                                                                               alternative sides

That's the way she washes her clothes.

Chorus:

High, low,                                              hands above head to left, hands down to right knees

Boogie, woogie, woogie,                           twist your hips and bended arms

High, low,                                                              (see above)

Boogie, woogie, woogie,                                           (     "     )

High, low,                                                              (     "     )

Boogie, woogie, woogie,                                           (     "     )

That's the way she washes her clothes.            clench fists, push back & forwards at alternative
                                                                                     sides

Down in the jungle where nobody goes,

A little Beaver Scout is picking his nose,

With a pick, lick, roll and flick,                      finger up nose, lick finger, roll in palm, flick palm

That's the way he picks his nose.

Chorus

That's the way he picks his nose.                     finger up nose, lick finger, roll in palm, flick palm

Everywhere We Go   

Leader sings a line, Beavers repeat it, etc

Every where we go-oh,                    Every where we go-oh,

People always ask us,                       People always ask us,

Who we are,                                   Who we are,

Where we come from,                      Where we come from,

So we tell them,                              So we tell them,

We're the Fylde Beavers,        We're the Fylde Beavers,

Mighty, mighty Beavers,                  Mighty, mighty Beavers,

And if they can't hear us,        And if they can't hear us,

We sing a little louder!                   We sing a little louder!

Repeat verse, getting progressively louder

Ging Gang Goolie

Ging gang goolie, goolie, goolie, goolie, watcha,     arms on right-hand neighbour's
                                                                                                  shoulders, walk forward

Ging gang goo, ging gang goo.

Ging gang goolie, goolie, goolie, goolie, watcha,     arms on left-hand neighbour's shoulders,
                                                                                                  walk forward

Ging gang goo, ging gang goo.

Hayla, hayla shayla,                                                     join hands, go into centre, raising arms

Hayla shayla, hayla, hoo-oo,                                       return backwards to original circle

Hayla, hayla shayla,                                                       "            "           "

Hayla shayla, hayla, hoo.                                                 "            "           "

Shally wally, shally wally, shally wally, shally wally,   shake hands in air above head, turning
                                                                                                  around

Oompah, oompah, oompah, oompah.                               bob up and down

repeat...

start in a large circle

if too many people, form a second, inner, circle which goes in the opposite direction

if done without the actions, can do as 2-part round - after 1st run through, one side keeps up the "oompah, oompah" while other side starts song again. At end, change over.

Goodnight Beavers                  

Goodnight Beavers, Goodnight Beavers,

Goodnight Beavers, we're going to go on home

Merrily we swim on home, swim on home, swim on home,

Merrily we swim on home, down the Beaver pond.

Sweet dreams Beavers, sweet dreams Beavers,

Sweet dreams Beavers, we're going to leave you now.

Merrily we swim on home, swim on home, swim on home,

Merrily we swim on home, down the Beaver pond.

Graveyard Song

Important - Do not rehearse this song! It will spoil the surprise on the day

Leader sings a line, audience replies with the eerie "oo-oo-oo-oo, ah-ah-ah-ah"

A woman stood at a churchyard door                              oo-oo-oo-oo, ah-ah-ah-ah

Many a woman had stood before                                     oo-oo-oo-oo, ah-ah-ah-ah

Saw three corpses carried in                                         oo-oo-oo-oo, ah-ah-ah-ah

Very pale, very thin                                                      oo-oo-oo-oo, ah-ah-ah-ah

The worms crawled in and the worms crawled out            oo-oo-oo-oo, ah-ah-ah-ah

In at the ears and out at the snout                                 oo-oo-oo-oo, ah-ah-ah-ah

Woman to the corpses said                                            oo-oo-oo-oo, ah-ah-ah-ah

Will I be like you when I'm dead?                                 oo-oo-oo-oo, ah-ah-ah-ah

Corpses to the woman said.......YES!!!

Bellow out the final YES
