1.
 IN THANKSGIVING (3 part round)
For health and strength*
.And daily food,*
We praise Thy name, O Lord.
 

2. JOHNNY APPLESEED
Oh the Lord is good to me,
And so I thank the Lord,
For giving me the things I need:
The sun and the rain and the apple seed,
The Lord is good to me.  Amen
 

.3. EVENING IS HERE
(Morning, Noontime, Evening) is here,
The board is spread.
Thanks be to God
Who gives us bread.  Amen
 

GOD HAS CREATED A NEW DAY
God has created a new day,
Silver and green and gold!
Life that the sunset may find us
Worthy His gift to hold.
 

4. THE DOXOLOGY
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him, all creatures here below.
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host.
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
 

FATHER IN HEAVEN
Father in Heaven, bless us we pray,
Teach us and guide us, all through the day.
Comfort and keep us, show us Thy will,
Be with us still at Heart O’ the Hills. Amen
 

5. GRACIAS A DIOS
Gracias a dios, alleluja!
Gracias a dios, alleluja!
Gracias a dios, alleluja!
Gracias a dios.
 

BACK O’ THE BREAD
Back o’ the bread is the grain
And back o’ the grain is the mill
And back o’ the mill is the wind and the rain
And my Father’s will.
 

6. MERCI, SENOR
Merci, Senor
Merci pour nous repast
Merci, Senor, alleluia!
 

CAMP FIRE GIRL’S GRACE
If we have earned the right to eat this bread,
Happy indeed are we;
But if unmerited thy gifts to us,
May we more faithfully be.
 

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING
Praise and thanksgiving let everyone bring,
Unto our Father, for every good thing.
All together, joyfully sing.
 

7.  MEMORIAL HYMN
We sing to you, our girl so true,
With your ideals fine,
As through life you climb,
And through the years,
Keep these moments near
They are memories dear,
They’ll make music in your heart.
We pledge our love,
Under stars above,
To you so kind
And to all things fine.
And may you live,
Never take, always give.
This is our prayer,
And our wish for you.
 

8. LONG, LONG TRAIL
There’s a long, long trail a-winding,
Into the land of my dreams.
Where the nightingales are singing,
And the white moon beams.
There’s a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true.
Till the day when I’ll be going
Down that long, long, trail with you…
 

9. LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY
With someone like you, a pal so good and true,
I’d like to leave it all behind and go and find,
Someplace that’s known to God alone.
Just a spot to call our own.
We’ll find perfect peace, where joys never cease.
Out there beneath the kindly sky, just you and I
We’ll build a sweet little nest Somewhere out in the west,
And let the rest of the world go by.
 

10. GREEN TREES
Green trees around us,
Blue skies above,
Friends all around us,
In a world filled with love.
Taps sounding softly,
Hearts beating true,
As The Heart says,
Good night to you.
 

11. TAPS
Day is done,
Gone the sun,
From the lakes,
From the hills,
From the sky.
All is well.
Safely rest.
God is nigh.
 

12. HEART O’ THE HILLS
Sing to our camp so dear,
Fond memories.
Days filled with joys and tears,
Beneath the cypress trees.
Friends that we’ve made here,
By waters still,
Join hands with love for thee,
Heart O’ the Hills!
 

13. FRIENDS WE ARE
Friends we are,
And friends we’ll always be.
Whoever wins
We’ll  follow faithfully.
Heart camp girls we’ll always be.
Till we meet again.
 (Hum through)
Heart camp girls we’ll always be,
Till we meet again.
 

14. ANNE MARIE
Anne Marie loves Jean Pierre
It’s written on the cafe sidewalks everywhere
Jean Pierre loves Anne Marie
It’s written on a heart that’s carved out on a tree.
Anne Marie, she said one day,
“I love you very much, so let us run away”
Jean Pierre, he said “oui, oui!”
And ran to tell his friends “I’m marrying Anne Marie”
They went down into the park
But they were getting hungry and it was getting dark.
They went home before too late
’Cause Anne Marie was seven,
and Jean Pierre was eight.
 

15. THE WEANIE MAN
I know a weanie man,
He owns a weanie stand,
He sells ’most everything
from hot dogs on down.
Someday I’ll change his life,
I’ll be his weanie wife,
Hot dog!  I love that weanie man!
Weanie man!  Weanie man!
Yeah, weanie man!
 

16. LITTLE GREEN FROG
A-ugh went the little green frog one day,
A-ugh went the little green frog,
A-ugh went the little green frog one day,
Till his A-ugh went ugh-A.
Asssp went the little green snake one day,
Asssp went the little green snake,
Asssp went the little green snake one day,
Till his asssp went Na Na Na Na Na …
Tweet tweet went the little brown bird one day,
Tweet tweet went the little brown bird,
Tweet tweet went the little brown bird one day,
Till he flew into a tree…Splat!

 

17. I SHALL NOT BE MOVED
I shall not be,
I shall not be moved.
I shall not be,
I shall not be moved.
Just like a tree,
That’s standing by the water.
I shall not be moved.
All the Ladies
All the Children
All the Englishmen
All the Russians
 

18-30
18. THE CANNIBAL KING

O, cannibal king with the big nose ring
Fell in love with the dusky maid.
And every night by the pale moonlight,
Sounded like this to me:
A-romp (wave), a-romp (wave)
A-romp-tid-i-a-di-ay.
A-romp (wave), a-romp (wave),
A-romp-tid-i-a-di-ay.
O, he hugged and kissed his pretty little miss,
Under the bamboo tree,
And every night by the pale moonlight,
Sounded like this to me:
A-romp (kiss kiss), a-romp (kiss kiss),
Etc.
The years went by, one, two, three,
And soon they raised a family,
And every night by the pale moonlight
Sounded like this to me:
A-romp (Mama), a-romp (Mama),
Etc.
The years went by, eight, nine, ten,
And soon they raised some grandchildren.
And every night by the pale moonlight,
Sounded like this to me:
A-romp (Grandma), a-romp (Grandma),
Etc.
 

19. COMIN’ ’ROUND THE MOUNTAIN
She’ll be comin’ ’round the mountain
When she comes, etc.  (Toot, toot)
She’ll be driving six white horses
When she comes, etc.  (Whoa, Maud)
We will all go out to meet her
When she comes, etc. (Hi, Babe!)
She’ll be wearing red pajamas
When she comes, etc.  (Whistle)
She will have to sleep with Grandma
When she comes, etc.  (Snore, snore)
We will kill the old red rooster
When she comes, etc.  (Hack, hack)
We will have chicken and dumplings
When she comes, etc.  (Yum, yum)
 

20. LOVE GROWS UNDER THE WILD OAK TREE
Love grows under the wild oak tree,
Sugar flows like candy.
Top of the mountain shines like gold,
And you kiss your little fellow sorta handy.
Dreams, dreams, sweet dreams,
Under the wild oak tree.  Hey!
Dreams, dreams, sweet dreams,
Enough for you and me.  Hey!
 

21. HEART TRIBE (NAIROBI)
Oh, we’re from The Heart Tribe,
And our team’s a good one!
We play the Watusis,
They’re seven feet tall!
The cannibals may eat us,
But they’ll never beat us,
’Cause we’re from The Heart Tribe,
And we’re on the ball!
Singing umgawa, umgawa, umgawa, umgawa,
Umgawa, umgawa, umgawa-wa!


22. BOOM BOOM
(Chorus)
Boom boom, ain’t it great to be crazy!
Boom boom, ain’t it great to be crazy!
Jolly, laughing all day long.
Boom boom, ain’t it great to be crazy!

A horse, a flea, and three blind mice,
Sittin’ on a table shootin’ dice.
The horse slipped, fell on the flea—
“Whoops!” said the flea,
“There’s a horsie on me!”  Boom boom,…

I love myself, I love me so!
I took myself to the picture show.
I wrapped my arms around my waist,
I got so fresh, I slapped my face!  Boom boom,…

’Way down South where bananas grow,
A grasshopper stepped on an elephant’s toe.
The elephant said with tears in his eyes,
“Pick on somebody your own size!”  Boom boom,…


23. THREE BLUE PIGEONS
Three blue pigeons,
Three blue pigeons,
Three blue pigeons sitting on a fence.
(Chorus)
Oh, look! One has flown away!
What a shame!

Two blue pigeons,
Two blue pigeons,
Two blue pigeons sitting on a fence.  (Chorus)

One blue pigeon,
One blue pigeon,
One blue pigeon sitting on a fence.  (Chorus)

Oh, look! One has returned!
Let us rejoice!

One blue pigeon,
One blue pigeon,… etc.


24. FATHER ABRAHAM
Father Abraham had seven sons
And seven sons had Father Abraham.
They didn’t laugh,
They didn’t cry,
All they did was go like this
With a right (arm)…
With a left…
With a right (foot)…
With a left…
Nod your head…
Turn around…
Sit down!
 

25. IF ALL THE RAINDROPS
If all the raindrops
Were lemon drops and gumdrops,
Oh, what a rain it would be!
I’d stand outside
With my mouth open wide
Ah ah-ah-ah  ah-ah-ah  ah-ah-ah
If all the raindrops
Were lemon drops and gumdrops,
Oh, what a rain it would be!

If all the snow flakes
Were Hershey bars and milk shakes
Oh, what a snow it would be! Etc.

If all the hailstones
Were turkey breasts and ham bones,
Oh, what a hail it would be! Etc.


26. IN A COTTAGE IN THE WOODS
In a cottage in the woods,
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by,
Knocking at his door.
“Help me, help me, help me” he said,
“’Fore the hunter shoots me dead”.
Little rabbit come inside,
Safely to abide.


27. LITTLE PAD IN THE  FOREST GREEN
Little pad in the forest green,
Little Herbie by the window screen
Saw a rabbit hopping by,
K-knocking at his door.

Like-help! Like-help me please!
Before the farmer exterminates me!
Little rabbit come inside,
Safely to abide.


28. HEART O’ THE HILLS IN TEXAS
Oh let me go to the camp I know,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
It’s so much fun swimming in the sun,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The Shawnees play!  The Pawnees stay!
Deep in the heart of Texas.
It’s plain to see, the camp for me
Is Heart O’ the Hills in Texas!


29. THE PEPPIEST GIRLS
The peppiest girls I ever saw,
They never came a-poking.
If I was to tell you the pep they had,
You’d think I was a-joking.
It’s not the pep in a pepper pot,
Or the pep in a popcorn popper,
It’s not the pep in a mustard jar,
Or the pep in a vinegar stopper.
It’s good old-fashioned P-E-P.
Pep you cannot down.
HEART PEP, HEART PEP,
The peppiest camp around,  Hey!
 

30. DOG, CAT, FISH
My doggie goes bow wow wow wow
My cat he goes me-ow
But what is hazy, drives me crazy’s
When my fish goes…
