They are sneaking thru the swamps and they are lurking in the logs. You can hear their mournful croaking through the early morning fog. The frogs keep hopping on. Chorus: Ribbet, ribbet, ribbet, croak, croak. Ribbet, ribbet, ribbet, croak, croak. Ribbet, ribbet, ribbet, croak, croak. The frogs keep hopping on. They've hopped into the living room and headed down the hall. They've have trapped me in the corner and my back's against the wall. And when I opened up my mouth to give a warning call, This was all I heard. (Chorus) The frogs have grown in numbers and their croaking fills the air. There's no place to escape because the frogs are everywhere. They've eaten all the flies and now they're hungry as a bear. The frogs keep hopping on. (Chorus)

CABIN IN THE WOOD In a cabin in the woods, a little old man by the window stood; Saw a rabbit hopping by, Knocking at the door. “Help me, help me, help me” he cried “Before hunter shoots me dead” “Come little rabbit, come with me. Happy we will be.” In a pad in a forest green- - - - crazy Herman was surveyin’ the scene. - - - - Saw a hare-man truckin’ by, rappin’ at his door. - - - - “Like help, like help” came his plea, - - - - “Before the farmer exterminates me” - - - - “Hey hare-man don’t you jump and shout. Come in and we’ll hang out.”

IN MY POCKET Oh, I bet you can’t guess what I’ve got in my pocket Bet you can’t guess what I got. Oh I’ll bet you’ll never guess, Oh I know you’ll never guess, So I guess I’ll have to tell you what I’ve got. I’ve got: keys and a ring for everything, my lucky rabbits foot; a ball and whistle and a feather and a thistle and a map of Connecticut. I’ve got balls and jacks and a few thumb tacks, a stick and a paper bag; some tap shoe taps and some bottle caps and a paint encrusted rag. Oh, I bet you can’t guess what I’ve got in my pocket Bet you can’t guess what I got. Oh I’ll bet you’ll never guess, Oh I know you’ll never guess, So I guess I’ll have to tell you what I’ve got. I’ve got: string and a cord, a rope and a board all tied up in a knot; some piece of metal from a real old kettle and a pit from an apricot. Oh why do I carry all this stuff around with me? It’s just that I’ve become attached to it you see. And with all this stuff in my pocket, there’s no need for me to lock it with a key. So I bet you can’t guess what I’ve got in my pocket Bet you can’t guess what I got. Oh I’ll bet you’ll never guess, Oh I know you’ll never guess, So I guess I’ll have to tell you what I’ve got. I’ve got: bicycle chains and a model airplane and a bone from and old spare rib; an umbrella handle and a melted candle and my baby brother’s bib. I’ve got piles of sand and a rubber band and ruler and a fountain pen; a jar full of moss and aluminum foil, and a calendar from who knows when? Oh, I bet you don’t know what I’ll do in a minute. Bet you don’t know what I’ll do. Gonna empty out my pockets when we finish up our talk, Cause with all this stuff it’s really hard to walk.

AMERICA My country! ‘tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died! Land of the pilgrims’ pride, From ev’ry mountain side, let freedom ring. My native country, thee, land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, thy woods and templed hills, My heart with rapture thrills, like that above. Let music swell the breeze, and ring from all the trees, Sweet freedom’s song; Let mortal tongues awake, let all that breathe partake, Let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong. Our fathers’ God to thee, author of Liberty, to thee we sing; Long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light, Protect us by thy might, great God, our King.

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER O say can you see by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets’ red glare the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there! O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

GOD BLESS AMERICA God Bless America Land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with her light from above. From the mountains to the prairies To the oceans white with foam. God Bless America My home sweet home, God Bless America My home sweet home.

AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL O, beautiful for spacious skies For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain. America! America! God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. O, beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern impassioned stress, A thoroughfare for freedom beat, Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law! O, beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more that self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine! O, beautiful for patriot dream, That sees beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears. America! America! God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.

COMMERCIAL MIX-UP [Tune: Farmer in the Dell] Last night I watched TV, I saw my favorite show. I heard this strange commercial, and I can't believe it's so. Feed your dog Chiffon. Comet cures the cold. Use S-O-S pads on your face to keep from looking old. Mop your floors with Crest. Use Crisco on your tile. Clean your teeth with Borateem, it leaves a shining smile. For headaches take some Certs. Use Tide to clean your face. And do shampoo with Elmer's Glue, it holds your hair in place. Perhaps I am confused, I might not have it right. But one thing that I'm certain of, I'll watch TV tonight!

CLEAN THE WORLD [Tune: Yankee Doodle] You’ve heard your mom say clean your room, It looks just like a pig pen. Well, now the cry is clean the world So it stays nice to live in. Keep the air and water clean Gather up the litter Use things over and over again Then all of us are winners.

GHOST CHICKENS IN THE SKY [sung to the tune of “Ghost Riders In the Sky”] A Chicken farmer went out one dark and dreary day. He rested by the coop as he went along his way. When all at once a rotten egg hit him in the eye. It was the sight he dreaded: Ghost Chickens in the Sky! Chorus: Bok, Bok, Bok, Bok. Bok, Bok, Bok, Bok. Ghost Chickens in the Sky! The Farmer had raised chickens since he was 24, Workin’ for the Colonel for 30 years or more, Killing all those chickens and sending them to fry. Now they want revenge….Ghost Chickens in the sky. Chorus Their feet were black and shiny. Their eyes were burning red. They had no meat or feathers. These chickens all were dead. They picked the farmer up and he died by the claw. They cooked him extra crispy, and ate him with cole slaw. Chorus

TRAIN SONG tune: Yankee Doodle I met an engine on a hill, all hot and broken hearted, And this is what he said to me as up the hill he started: I think I can, I think I can, At any rate I'll try I think I can, I think I can, At any rate I'll try. He reached the top and looking back to where he stood and doubted, He started on the downward track and this is what he shouted: I knew I could, I knew I could, I never should have doubted I knew I could, I knew I could, I never should have doubted And so to all you Cubs and Scouts, whenever you're downhearted, Remember what the engine said as up the hill he started: I think I can, I think I can, at any rate I'll try it. And very soon you too will find that you have gone and done it!

Non-Elimination Musical Chairs San Gabriel Valley, Long Beach, & Verdugo Hills Councils The object of the game is to keep everyone in the game even though chairs are systematically removed. The music is played and more and more chairs are removed each time the music stops. In this version, however, more and more boys team up together, sitting on parts of chairs or on each other to keep everyone in the game. At the end, boys are perched on one chair rather than there being only one winner on one chair. Musical Hoops San Gabriel Valley, Long Beach, & Verdugo Hills Councils This game is similar to Non-Elimination Musical Chairs, except it is played with hula- hoops. You will need a hulahoop for each player except one. Spread the hula-hoops out onto the floor. If there are eight players, you will need seven hoops. Have each boy stand in a hula-hoop, then start the music and remove one hoop. When the music stops the boys must all find a hoop to stand in. Continue removing a hoop each time. At the end, everyone will be trying to fit into one hoop. Name That Tune Run Ons Cub # 1: My brother has been playing the guitar for ten years now. Cub # 2: He must be pretty good.
