Cut him open, cut him open, cut him open, till its found
Sew him up, sew him up, have you seen my specs around

On Top of Spaghetti

(Tune of 'On Top of Old Smokey)

Actions: make appropriate finger and body actions for the words, and don't leave out a real, live sneeze

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 early next summer, It grew into a tree

The tree was all covered with beautiful moss
It grew lovely meatballs and tomato sauce

So if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese
Hold on to your meatballs, and don't ever sneeze

Taps

Day is done, gone the sun
From the sea, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh

Fading light, dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night

Thanks and praise for our days
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky
As we go, this we know, God is nigh

Sun has set, shadows come
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made

While the light fades from sight
And the stars gleaming rays softly send
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend

(Guide Taps - sung at the end of a meeting)

With a knick-knack, paddy-wack, give a dog a bone
This old man goes rolling home

Two-on my shoe. Tap shoe
Three-on my knee. Tap on knee
Four-on the floor. Touch the floor
Five-on my hive. Move hands as if brushing bees away from ears
Six-on my sticks. Tap knuckles of other hand
Seven-up to Devon. Shake fist
Eight-on my pate. Tap top of head
Nine-on my spine. Touch backbone
Ten-now and then. Raise hands shoulder high, open and close fists in rhythm

Don't be mistaken, don't be misled
They couldn't get to heaven so they all went to bed!

There'll be people there from evey nation

Dancing in the village square

Worms

Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me!
Think I'll go and eat worms

(Chorus Repeat after each verse)
Long, slim slimy ones,
Short, fat juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy, wuzzy worms.

First you get a bucket,
Then you get a shovel,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

First you pull the heads off,
Then you suck the guts out.
Then you throw the rest away

Down goes the first one,
Down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

Up comes the first one,
Up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

Everybody likes me,
Nobody hates me!
Why did I eat those worms?

Nobody knows
how I survive
On worms three times a day!

Worms (alternative version)

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go and eat worms,
Long slim slimy ones, short fat juicy ones,
Itsy bitsy ftlzzy wuzzy worms.

First you cut the heads off, then you suck the guts out
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm,
Long slim slimy ones, short fat juicy ones,
Itsy bitsy ftlzzy wuzzy worms.

Wiggle goes the first one, goosh goes the second one,
Sure don't wanna eat these worms,
Long slim slimy ones, short fat juicy ones

Itsy bitsy ftlzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one
Sure hate the taste of these worms
Long slim slimy ones, short fat juicy ones,
Itsy bitsy ftlzzy wuzzy worms.

Nobody hates me, everybody likes me
Never should've eaten those worms
Long slim slimy ones, short fat juicy ones,
Itsy bitsy ftlzzy wuzzy worms.

Up comes the first one, up comes the second one
Oh, how they squiggle and squirm
Long slim slimy ones, short fat juicy ones,
Itsy bitsy ftlzzy wuzzy worms.

Woodpecker's Yell

A man put his finger in a woodpecker's hole
The woodpecker said "Why, bless my soul
Take it out!
Take it out!
REMOVE IT!"

He removed his finger from the woodpecker's hole
The woodpecker said "Why, bless my soul
Put it back!
Put it back!
REPLACE IT!"

He replaced his finger in the woodpecker's hole
The woodpecker said "Why, bless my soul
Turn it round!
Turn it round!
ROTATE IT!"

He rotated his finger in the woodpecker's hole
The woodpecker said "Why, bless my soul
Turn it back!
Turn it back!
REVERSE IT!"
