Pirate Ship

When I was one, I had some fun hold 1 finger up

Chorus

The day I went to sea make wavy horizontal motion with arm

I climbed aboard a Pirate ship do hornpipe, pulling down imaginary ropes

And the captain said to me salute

We going this way, that way lean left, lean right

Forwards, backwards lean forwards, backwards

Over the Irish Sea make wavy horizontal motion with your arm

A bottle of rum make out drinking from bottle

To warm my tum rub tum

And that’s the life for me wave arm downwards in swash-buckling style

When I was 2, I waved to you hold up 2 fingers, wave

The Wee Wee Song

All participating leaders stand at front and sing to Beavers. We will bob up and down as we sing it. Since we won't keep in time with the bobbing we will look pretty stupid.

When I was a wee wee tot,

They took me from my wee wee cot,

Put me on my wee wee pot,

To see if I would wee or not.

When they saw that I would not,

They took me from my wee wee pot,

Put me back in my wee wee cot,

And there I wee wee'd quite a lot.

When I was a Beaver Scout in my prime,

I seemed to wee wee all the time,

(slowly) But now I'm a Leader, old and grey, (we're not actually!)

(faster) I only wee wee twice a day.
