Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral

Get family and friends to sing this song around the Campfire! Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral

(That's An Irish Lullaby) Over in Killarney, Many years ago, Me mother sang a song to me In tones so sweet and low. Just a simple little ditty, In her good old Irish way, And I'd give the world if she could sing That song to me this day. Too - ra - loo - ra - loo - ral, Too - ra - loo - ra - li, Too - ra - loo - ra - loo - ral, Hush, now don't you cry! Too - ra - loo - ra - loo - ral, Too - ra - loo - ra - li, Too - ra - loo - ra - loo - ral, That's an Irish lullaby. Oft, in dreams I wander To that cot again, I feel her arms a huggin' me As when she held me then. And I hear her voice a humin' To me as in days of yore, When she used to rock me fast asleep Outside the cabin door. Too - ra - loo - ra - loo - ral, Too - ra - loo - ra - li, Too - ra - loo - ra - loo - ral, Hush, now don't you cry! Too - ra - loo - ra - loo - ral, Too - ra - loo - ra - li, Too - ra - loo - ra - loo - ral, That's an Irish lullaby.

Take Me out to the Ballgame!

Sing this with friend and family while on your next camping trip! Everyone will love it.

Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out to the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and CrackerJacks,
I don't care if we never get back.
So it's root, root, root for the home team.
If they don't win it's a shame,
For it's 1, 2, 3 strikes you're out
At the old ball game!

On Top of Spaghetti

Here's a great song to sing with family and friends! Sing it on your next camping trip!

On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table
And onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball
Rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball
Was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer
It grew into a tree.

The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti
All covered with cheese,
Hold onto your meatball
Lest somebody sneeze.

Yellow Rose of Texas

Get family and friends to sing this around the campfire!

There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see.
No other soldier knows her, no soldier, only me.
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart.
And if I ever find her, we never more will part.

CHORUS

She's the sweetest rose of color, this soldier ever knew.
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your dearest May, and sing of Rosa Lee.
But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.

Where the Rio Grande is flowin' and the starry skies are bright,
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night.
She thinks, if I remember, when we parted long ago,
I promised to come back again and not leave her so.

CHORUS

Oh, now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe,
And we'll sing the song together, that we sang so long ago.
We'll play the banjo gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore,
And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forever more.

CHORUS

12 Days of Summer Camp

On the first day of [summer] camp my family sent to me,

A rubber raft in a pine tree.
2. skinned knees
3. Bic pens
4. flashlights
5. bathing suits
6. bars of candy
7. missing dollars
8. counselors sleeping
9. roasted marshmallows
10. noisy chipmunks
11. tubes of sun screen
12. giant mosquitoes

(This is just a sample; you can make up your own lyrics!)

I Met a Bear

The other day, I met a bear,
Out in the woods, away out there. [Point.]
He looked at me, I looked at him,
He sized up me, I sized up him.
He says to me, "Why don't you run?"
"'Cause I can see, you have no gun."
I says to him, "That's a good idea."
"Now legs get going, get me out of here!"
I began to run, away from there,
But right behind me was that bear.
And on the path ahead of me,
I saw a tree, Oh glory be.
The lowest branch was ten feet up,
I'd have to jump and trust to luck.
And so I jumped into the air,
But I missed that branch away up there.
Now don't you fret, and don't you frown,
I caught that branch on the way back down.
That's all there is, there ain't no more,
Unless I met that bear once more.

Oh, Susanna

I came from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee,
I'm goin to Louisiana,
My true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left,
The weather it was dry,
The sun so hot I froze to death,
Susanna, don't you cry.

Refrain

Oh, Susanna, oh don't you cry for me,
I've come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night
When everything was still;
I thought I saw Susanna
A - coming down the hill.
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth,
A tear was in her eye;
Says I, "I'm comin from the South,
Susanna, don't you cry."

Refrain

This Old Man

This Old Man This old man, he played one,
He played knick - knack on my thumb,
With a knick - knack paddy - wack
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played two,
He played knick - knack on my shoe,
With a knick - knack paddy - wack
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played three
He played knick - knack on my knee,
With a knick - knack paddy - wack
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
