Campfire rocks!!! Here are some of our favourite campfire songs, or maybe just the ones that we remember. Feel free to send nasty e-mails to Moose if these aren't written properly or they're missing a verse or something like that. Oh, and if you happen to know any other good ones......
Fire's burning/Fire's not burning
Fire's
(not) burning, fire's (not) burning,
Draw
nearer, draw nearer,
In
the (not) glowing, in the (not) glowing
Come
sing and be merry!
Leaving
on a Jetpane
All
my bags are packed. I'm ready to go.
I'm
standing here outside your door,
I
hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But
the dawn is breaking, it's early morn.
The
taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn,
Already
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
(Chorus)
So
kiss me and smile for me,
Tell
me that you'll wait for me,
Hold
me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause
I'm leaving on a jet plane (zoom!)
Don't
know when I'll be back again -(crash!)
Oh
Babe, I hate to go.
There's
so many times I've let you down,
So
many times I've played around,
I
tell you now, they don't mean a thing.
Every
place I go, I'll think of you,
Every
song I sing, I'll sing for you,
When
I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.
(Chorus)
Now
the time has come to leave you,
One
more time let me kiss you,
Then
close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream
about the days to come.
When
I won't have to leave alone,
About
the times I won't have to say ...
(Chorus)
Sanctuary
Lord
prepare me,
To
be a sanctuary
Bright
and holy,
Tried
and true,
With
thanksgiiving,
I
want to be a liiving,
Sanctuary,
Fo-ooorr
you.
Grand Old Duke of York
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
The
grand old Duke of York,
he
had ten thousand men.
He
marched them up to the top of the hill,
and
he marched them down again.
And
when you're up you're up,
and
when you're down you're down,
and
when you're only halfway up,
you're
neither up nor down!
The Princess Pat (the right way...we hope)
The
Princess Pat,
Light
infantry,
She
sailed across,
The
seven seas,
They
sailed across,
The
channel two,
And
they took with them,
A
rick-a-dandoo!
Chorus:
A
rick-a-dandoo!
Now
what is that?
It's
something made,
By
the Princess pat!
It's
red and gold,
And
purple too!
That's
what it's caaaaalllllllled,
A
rick-a-dandoo!
Now
Captain Jack,
And
his mighty fine crew,
They
sailed across,
The
ocean blue.
Their
ship did sink,
And
yours will too!
If
you don't take,
A
rick-a-dandoo!
CHORUS
The
Green Grass Grows all Around
500
bonus trivia points to whoever tells Moose how this song really starts
first.
Once
upon a time, there was a hole... and in that hole, there was a tree.
Now
on that tree,
There
was a branch,
The
cuuuuutest little branch,
That
you ever did see!
And
the branch was on the tree
And
the tree was in the hole
And
the hole was in the ground
Chorus:
And
the green grass grew all around all around!
And
the green grass grew all around, yeehaw!
Now
on that branch,
There
was a twig,
The
cuuuuutest little twig,
That
you ever did see!
And
the twig was on the branch
And
the branch was on the tree
And
the tree was in the hole
And
the hole was in the ground
(Chorus)
Continue
using nest, egg, bird, wing, feather, flea, bikini, and polka dot
until
you run out of breath and collapse into a heap on the floor.
