Songs

Whether it's during 集合s or at campfires, we sing many songs in Guides. Here is a list to get started!

Guiding Light
(This is the guiding light of mine          
I'm going to let it shine x3)
Let it shine all the time
Let it shine.

这是我童军的火焰,
我要让它燃 (x 3)
让它燃,永远的让它燃

My Bonnie
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
O bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
I dreamed that my Bonnie was dead.
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me.

Peace like a River
I’ve got peace like a river, (x3)
In my soul (in my soul)
repeat
I’ve got joy overflowing (x3)
In my soul (in my soul)
repeat
I’ve got live everlasting, (x3)
In my soul (in my soul)
repeat
I’ve got peace like a river,
I’ve got joy over flowing,
I’ve got life everlasting
In my soul (in my soul)

Kookaburra
Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra laugh, Kookaburra
Gay your life must be

Three Little Ducks
Three little ducks that I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones, two by two
And the one little duck with a feather on its back
He ruled the other with a quack quack quack

Down by the river they would go
Wibble wobble wibble wobble to and fro
But the one little duck with a feather on its back
He ruled the other with a quack quack quack

BP Spirit
I've got the BP spirit (where?)
Right in my head (where?) (x3)
I’ve got the BP spirit
Right in my head to stay

I’ve got the BP spirit (where?)
Deep in my heart (where?) (x3)
I’ve got the BP spirit
Deep in my heart to stay

I’ve got the BP spirit (where?)
All round my feet (where?) (x3)
I’ve got the BP spirit
All round my feet to stay

I’ve got the BP spirit (where?)
All over me (where?) (x3)
I’ve got the BP spirit
All over me to stay

Cannibal King
A cannibal king with a fat nose ring
Fell in love with a hula dame
And every night on a bright moonlit night
Over the lake he came
He hugged and kissed his pretty little miss
Under the bamboo tree
And every night on a bright moonlit night
It sounded like this to me
(Arum censored, arum censored
Arum dee da dee day eh eh x2)

Rock-a-my Soul
Rock a my soul in the bosom of Abraham (x3)
O rock a my soul
Too high, I can’t get over it
Too low, I can’t get under it
Too wide, I can’t get over it
O rock a my soul
Rock my soul~ (x3)
O rock a my soul

We are Girl Guides
We are Girl Guides (x2)
We are Girl Guides through and through
Keep your promise, wear your badges
Put the law in front of you
On with Guiding, cheerful Guiding
When there’s danger never mind,
Keep on trying, keep on smiling
That’s the spirit, sister mine.

Jamaican Farewell
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

*But I’m sad to say, I’m on my way
Won’t be back for many a days
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl at Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

Repeat *

Gingerbread
Gingerbread was a very fat man,
His face was like a frying pan
He used to hide behind his clothes
And in his pocket was a big cockroach

When I was sick I lay in bed
The doctor said that I was dead
He brought me a coffin to put me in
But I jumped out and he jumped in

Titanic
They built a ship Titanic to sail the ocean blues
And they thought they built a ship that the waters can’t go through
But Lord O Mighty knows
That the ship will never land
It was sad when the great ship went down
Oh it was sad boo hoo (x2)
Oh it was sad when the great ship went down
To the bottom where the husbands and wives
And the children lost their lives
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Ging Gang Goolie
(Ging gang
goolie, goolie, goolie, goolie
Washa ging gang goo, ging gang goo x2)              

(Hayla, oh hayla shayla
Oh hayla shayla-ayla oh~, x2)  
Shalli-walli, shalli-walli, shalli-walli, shalli-walli
Oompa, oompa, oompa oompa....

Silvery Moon
By the light (by the light by the light)
Of the silvery moon (not the sun but the moon)
I want to spoon (not the fork but the spoon)
To my honey I croon love’s tunes
Honey moon (lots of honey on the moon)
Keeps on shining in June (not in May but in June)
Your silvery beams will bring love dreams
We’ll be cuddling soon (not now but soon)
By the silvery moon

Moonlight Bay
We were sailing along (we were sailing along)
On Moonlight Bay (on Moonlight Bay)
We would hear the voices singing (singing)
They seem to say (they seem to say)
You have stolen my heart (I have stolen your heart)
But don’t go away (but don’t go away)
As we sing the old sweet songs on the Moonlight Bay

Gako the Frog
Kaeru no yomawari
Gako gako geko piong piong
Hapaluke hapaluke
Gako geko piong
Gako piong geko piong
Gako geko piong

Gako gako ga
Piong piong piong
Geko geko ge
Piong piong piong
Gako piong geko piong
Gako geko piong

Little Green Frog
Mm Hmm, there’s a little green frog one day
Mm Hmm, there’s a little green frog
Mm Hmm, there’s a little green frog one day
And the frog went mm hmm

Ah, but we know frogs go
(Clap) Sha-la-la-la-la (x3)
But we know frogs go
(Clap) Sha-la-la-la-la (x3)
Frogs don’t go mm hmm

The Window Song
*(The window, the window
The second storey window
With a heave and a hoe
And a mighty throw
Throw them out the window)

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And soon they had a daughter

Repeat *

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men
Throw them out the window

Repeat *

三轮车,跑得快
上面坐个老太太
要五毛,给一块
Throw them out the window

Repeat *

Banana Cheer
Peeping through the window,
What do people see?
If you want to ‘jia gim jio’,
Do it the proper way.

Meet me tonight by the moonlight,
Meet me tonight all alone,
I’ve got something to show you,
Something that’s yellow and long  (hey!)

(One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Five banana, six banana, many many more x2)
Many many more, many many more,
Many many more (hey!)

on a side note, jia gim jio means to eat bananas in Hokkien XD

抓泥鳅
池塘的水慢了,雨也停了
田边的细腻里,到处是泥鳅
天天我等着你,等着你捉泥鳅
大哥哥好不好,咱们去捉泥鳅
小牛的哥哥咱们去捉泥鳅
大哥哥好不好,咱们去捉泥鳅

南屏晚钟
我匆匆地走入森林中,
森林它一丛丛,
我找不到他的行踪,
只看到了树摇风

我匆匆地走入森林中,
森林它一丛丛,
我找不到他的行踪,
只听到那南屏钟。

南屏晚钟,随风飘送,
它好像是敲呀敲在我心坎中,
南屏晚钟,随风飘送,
它好像是催呀催醒我的相思梦,
它催醒了我的相思梦,
相思有什么用,
我走出了丛丛的森林,
又看到了夕阳红。

马车夫之恋
达板城的石路硬又平啦
西瓜大又甜啦
那里有位姑娘辫子长啊
两个眼睛真漂亮 (漂亮!)
如果你要嫁人
不要嫁给别人
一定要你嫁给我(臭美!)
带着你的嫁妆
领着你的妹妹
赶着那马车来

最高峰
让我们踏上云端,
更接近那蓝蓝的天,
最高山峰在眼前眼前眼前,
地上弯弯流水,
好像一条银项链,
我们在高山上,度过快乐的一天。

*我们爬得高(嘿嘿)
我们看得远,
把欢乐和美妙的歌声,
散布在山水间。

小燕子飞在身边,
它不停在呢喃,
欢迎来到大自然自然自然,
你看阳光灿烂,
太晒红了我的脸,
我们在高山上,度过快乐的一天。

Tipperary
It’s a long way to Tipperary,
It’s a long way to go,
It’s a long way to Tipperary,
To the sweetest girl I know
Goodbye Singapura,
Farewell Raffles Square
It’s a long way to Tipperary
But my heart lies there.

A Thousand Legged Worms
Said a thousand-legged worm,
As he gave a little squirm
Have you seen a little leg of mine?
If it can’t be found
I shall have to hop around
On my nine hundred and ninety-nine

Hop around, hop around
Have you seen a little leg of mine?
If it can’t be found
I shall have to hop around
On my nine hundred and ninety-nine

She’ll be coming round the Mountain

Red River Valley
From this valley they say you are going (you are going)
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile (and sweet smile)
For they say you are taking the sunshine
Which has brightened our pathways a while.
Come and sit by my side if you love me;
Do not hasten to bid me adieu,
But remember the Red River Valley,
And the girl that has loved you so true.

Edelweiss
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to greet me
Blossoms of snow, may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

Father Abraham
Father Abraham has seven children
Seven children have Father Abraham
Some of them are tall
Some of them are short
But none of them were bright

…Raise your right (hand)
…Raise your left (hand)
…Stamp your right (foot)
…Stamp your left (foot)
…Nod your head
…Stick out your tongue

Pass it On
It only takes a spark, to get the fire going.
And soon all those around, can warm up in its glowing
That’s how it is with God’s love,
Once you’ve experienced it,
You’ll spread his love, to everyone,
You’ll want to pass it on.

By the Blazing Council Firelight
By the blazing council firelight
We have met in comradeship tonight
Round about the whispering trees
Guard our golden memories
And so before we close our eyes to sleep
Let us pledge each other that we’ll keep
Guiding friendship strong and deep
Till we meet again

Goodnight sisters
Goodnight brothers
Goodnight sisters
Till we meet again

Auld Lang Syne
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

友谊万岁
生平良朋不能相忘
别后常相怀念
生平良朋不能相忘
友谊地久天长

友谊万岁良朋友谊万岁
举杯痛饮同声歌颂
友谊万岁

Merrily we Row Along
Merrily we row along
Row along, row along
Merrily we row along
Over the deep blue sea

Linger
Mmhmm I want to linger here
Mmhmm A little longer here
Mmhmm A little longer here with you
Mmhmm It’s such a perfect night
Mmhmm It doesn’t seem quite right
Mmhmm This is our last night here with you
Mmhmm Then comes September
Mmhmm I will remember
Mmhmm Our guiding days and friendships true
Mmhmm. And as the years go by
Mmhmm I think of you and sigh
Mmhmm Its just good night and not goodbye
