Oh Sister Girl Guides
(Air - Grandfather's Clock)

Oh sister girl guides will you lend us an ear,
Have you e'er had a problem like ours.
Our uniforms you see used to be untidy,
And our captain would nag for hours.
She would nag, nag, nag, how I wish she wore a gag,
She would nag, and she'd moan and she'd groan,
And she'd stop, when, at twenty-five to ten,
When the guides went home.

'Your stockings are torn, nag, nag, nag, nag,
'Your brown shoes are worn, nag, nag, nag, nag,
And she'd stop, when, at twenty-five to ten,
When the guides went home.

Now the meeting was long and the nagging went on,
Till it drove us nearly mad.
So we said we'd reform, and we'd press our uniforms,
And she'd have no excuse to nag.
So when our plan was made and we turned out for parade,
Our hearts nearly bursting with pride,
And each and every one, with her badges all sewn on,
Said I'm such a neat girl guide.

Captain …………… turned around, nag, nag, nag, nag,
She started to frown, nag, nag, nag, nag,
She turned rather white when she saw the great sight,
And she passed away with fright.

I'm Glad that I'm a Girl Guide

I'm glad that I'm a Girl Guide, a Girl Guide I'd like to be,
For if I weren't a Girl Guide……………………

1. An Ice Cream Maker I'd be
Uga Chaga, Uga Chaga, Good Ice Cream (2)

2. A Hairdresser I'd be
Snip, Snip, Snip, Oh what a pity (2)

3. A Carpenter I'd be
Two by four and nail it to the floor, can you dig it (2)

4. A Plumber I'd be
Flush, flush, flush, look out below (2)

Here’s your coffee, here’s your tea, here’s your plastic bag (2) 

Brush your teeth, go to bed, lights are out by nine (2)

7. I would just be me.

I don’t want to join the Girl Guides

They say that in the girl guides

The food is very fine

You ask for mast potatoes

They give you balls of twine.

  Chorus:

Oh I don’t want to join the Girl Guides

Gee Ma I want to go

But they won’t let me go

Gee Ma I want to go home.  

They say that in the girl guides

The uniforms are fine

But me and my best friend

Could both fit into mine

Chorus:

They say that in the girl guides

The beds are very fine

They give you half a blanket

To cover your behind

Chorus:

They say that in the girl guides

The bread is very fine

A loaf fell of the table

And killed a friend of mine

Chorus:

They say that in the girl guides

The Leaders are very fine

You ask for Captain ………..

They give you Frankenstein

Chorus:

Down in Fernhill Wicklow

Down in Fernhill Wicklow, right beside the Sea,

There stands a big old camp house, for everyone to see

Its bricks are gray in colour, and the door is panted green,

And right beside the camp house there runs a steam.

In the morning when we rise, wash the sleep from our eyes,

We have corn flakes for our breakfast, just to satisfy our appetites.

And when breakfast is over and we are feeling trim,

We go down to the harbor, for our morning swim.

And when our swim if over and we are feeling fine,

We march back to the camp house, it’s almost dinner time.

Mash potatoes for dinner, bread and jam for our tea,

And we don’t get any supper, so we go to bed still hungry

And our weekend over and we are feeling low,

We pack our bags & cases and down the drive we go,

Were going back to Dublin feeling very low,

Cause we have had a jolly good time in Fernhill Wicklow.

GUIDE LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME

 (Tune:  This Land is your Land)

As I was searching, for Fun and Friendship,

I saw before me, some small girls playing,

As I got closer, I heard them say-ay-ing,

Come share and be a friend to me.

Chorus

This land is your land, This land is Guide Land,

A global sisterhood, Together we stand,

For love and friendship, and caring you can see,

Guide Land was made for you and me.

I continued down the path, to the Magic Forest,

There in the clearing, stood a large toadstool,

Brownies were dancing, beside a cry-stal pool,

Singing, come and Lend and Hand with me.

I saw a warm glow in the distance,

And the sound of laughter, and a campfire roaring,

Guide songs were merry, my heart was soar-oar-ing,

They said, come learn to Be Prepared like me.

Walking through the woods, came the Pathfinders,

Cadets, Rangers & Junior Leaders, they did follow,

They've learned much here, they'll be the leaders of tomorr-orr-ow,

Guide Land's done so much for you and me.

  ROUNDABOUT

Roundabout the blazing campfire light

Here we sit in comradeship tonight

While above the whispering trees

Guard our golden memories

And before we close our eyes to sleep

Let us pledge each other we will keep

Guiding friendships true and deep

'Till we meet again

World Centre Song

(To the tune of If you're happy and you know it)

Just to visit a world center is a thrill

Though the distance may deter us, go we will

We can meet old friends and new

Share our faiths and customs too

Where, though far from home we may be happy still.

Our Chalet is in the mountains it is Swiss

It is one place you should never give a miss

Climb a mountain, ski back down

You will never wear a frown

When you gather in a lovely home like this.

Come to London on the way to anywhere

Pax Lodge is here for everyone to share

See the great historic sites

Or the theaters at night

Knowing you've a home to greet you that will care

Our Cabana stands in Mexico - Ole!

And whoever goes to visit wants to stay

Theres' a welcome there for all

Secret friends on you may call

So that this is home for you in everyway

There's an Indian experience come along

"Come together" here in Sangam with a song

Light a candle for our friends

And at last when daylight ends

We're together in our home where we belong.
