Camp Song, Girl Scouts

This song teaches a lesson about
minding your own affairs.
It was taught to me by a group of Junior Girl Scouts.
Oh I stuck my head in a little skunk hole
And the little skunk said, "Upon my soul!
Take it out, take it out, take it out, remove it!"
Well, I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you were dead.
TAKE IT OUT, TAKE IT OUT, TAKE IT OUT !!!"
Shhhh....(squirt sound )
I removed it.

Camp Songs, Girl Scouts

This song was taught to me
by a Girl Guide Troop from England
It is sung to the tune of O'Christmas Tree
or O'Tannenbaum
O'Tom the toad, O'Tom the toad
Why are you lying in the road?
O'Tom the toad O'Tom the Toad
Why are you lying in the road?
You did not see the truck ahead.
And now you're marked with tire tread.
O'Tom the Toad O'Tom the Toad
That's why you're lying in the road.
