CAMPSONG ACROSS THE STILLNESS
ACROSS THE STILLNESS OF THE LAKE, WE SEND OUR CALL OF WO-HE-LO,
THEN ALL THE SILVERY ECHOES WAKE TO ANSWER BACK WO-HE-LO.
ACROSS THE SILENCE OF THE YEARS, OUR THOUGHTS OF JOY AND OF SORROW,
GOOD DEEDS OR EVIL, HOPES OR FEARS, STILL ECHO BACK TOMORROW.
OH YE WHO BEAR THE LOFTY TORCH, THINK THOUGHTS OF EVIL NEVER,
BE MINDFUL THAT EACH SONG YE SING, GOES ON AND ON FOREVER.
WHEN WE HAVE PASSED OUR TORCH SOMEDAY AND OTHERS SING WO-HE-LO,
GRANT US DEAR GOD SUCH LIVES AS MAY STILL ANSWER BACK WO-HE-LO.
WO-HE-LO.

Submitter comment:
Melanie says that this song is used by girls to introduce
themselves to one another. The game is sung primarily by girls on
the playground or at lunch. It gives new girls a chance to let other
girls know their grade, interest, and names.

Submitter comment:
My mother learned this from her mother. My grandmother told my
mother this story because she never liked to visit her friends.
The story was to let my mother know her friends would not be around
forever so she had better see them while she can.

Hungry Song
During a twenty-two week training period for the Navy Seals,
every time the men went to breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they were
forced to sing the "Hungry Song" before they were allowed to eat. The
song is to the tune of "Are You Sleeping, Brother John?," and the
words are as follows: "We are hungry, we are hungry, feed us now,
feed us now. Hungry little tadpoles, waiting for their dinner
(breakfast, lunch), feed us now, feed us now."
Where learned: United States Navy Seals
