Campfire Opener Hold it still, hit the flashlights This is it, the night of nights No more rehearsing or nursing the parts We know every part by heart!

Get the matches, light the fire As we sing songs, the flames will get higher And ohh! What heights they’ll hit! On with the campfire—this is it 9 Count on Me Bruno Mars

If you ever find yourself stuck in The middle of the sea I’ll sail the world, to find you If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see I’ll be the light, to guide you

We find out what we’re made of When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me Like 1, 2, 3 I’ll be there And I know when I need it I can count on you Like 4, 3, 2 You’ll be there ‘Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do Oh yeah

Oooooh Oooooh Yeah Yeah

If you’re tossin’ and you’re turnin’ And you just can’t fall asleep I’ll sing a song, beside you And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me Every day I will, remind you

We find out what we’re made of When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me Like 1, 2, 3 I’ll be there

10 And I know when I need it I can count on you Like 4, 3, 2 You’ll be there ‘Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do

Oooooh Oooooh Yeah Yeah

You’ll always have my shoulder when you cry I’ll never let go, never say goodbye

You know

You can count on me Like 1, 2, 3 I’ll be there And I know when I need it I can count on you Like 4, 3, 2 And you’ll be there ‘Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do

Oooooh Oooooh

You can count on me ‘cause I can count on you

11 Country Roads John Denver

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze

Chorus: Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mamma Take me home, country roads

All my memories, gather round her Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Chorus

Bridge: I hear her voice, in the mornin’ hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away Driving down the road I get a feelin’ That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Chorus (2X) Dragonfly I’m Mr. Dragonfly I’ve got sixteen thoooooouuuusand eyes And man, can I fly—REAL fast! I’ve got LONG DANGLY LEGS Like a basket under my belly And I’ll eat you Mr. Mosquito And I’ll eat you Mr. Fly ‘Cause I’m a dragonfly, oh yeah ‘Cause I’m a dragonfly, yeahhhh 12 13 Firework Katy Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag Drifting through the wind Wanting to start again?

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin Like a house of cards One blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there’s still a chance for you? ‘Cause there’s a spark in you

Pre Chorus: You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine Just own the night like the forth of July

Chorus: ‘Cause, baby, you’re a firework Come on show ‘em what you’re worth Make ‘em go, “Aah, aah, aah” As you shoot across the sky-y-y Baby, you’re a firework Come on let your colours burst Make ‘em go, “Aah, aah, aah” You’re gonna leave ‘em all in awe, awe, awe

You don’t have to feel like a wasted space You’re original, cannot be replaced If you only knew, what the future holds After a hurricane comes a rainbow

14 Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed So you could open one That leads you to the perfect road Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow And when it’s time you’ll know

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Boom, boom, boom even brighter than the Moon, moon, moon

It’s always been inside of you, you, you And now it’s time to let it through-ough-ough

Chorus

Boom, boom, boom even brighter than the Moon, moon, moon

15 Goodnight Song When the sun is slowly setting And the moon begins to shine There’s a song that I sing to my friends To keep them feeling fine

Chorus: Good, good night to you The whole night through May you dream of love, peace, and hope And may all your dreams come true

When you need someone to talk to Or you just need someone to hold You know you’ve got someone to turn to To help keep out the cold

Chorus

This world is so full of beauty But this world can still bring us pain If you need someone to turn to You can call, you can call my name

When the sun has long since vanished And the moon lights up the sky I’ll be thinking of all of my friends As I sing this lullaby

Chorus X2

16 Here Comes The Sun The Beatles

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right

Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right

Bridge: Sun, sun, sun, here it comes (4X)

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun It’s all right, it’s all right

17 If I Were Not A Counsellor If I were not a counsellor, I wonder what I’d be If I were not a counsellor...

A birdwatcher I’d be Hark a lark, flying through the park, SPLAT!

A plumber I would be Plunge it, flush it, look out below!

A mermaid I would be Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop!

A carpenter I’d be Two by four, nail it to the floor!

A typist I would be Ticka, ticka, ticka, ticka, ticka, ticka, ZING!

A hippie I would be Hey man! Cool man! Far out! Wow!

A farmer I would be Come on Betsy give... the baby’s gotta live

A laundry worker I would be Starchy here, starchy there, starchy in your underwear!

A cashier I would be Twenty-nine, forty-nine, here is your change, sir!

An electrician I would be Positive, negative bbzzzzt zap

A cyclist I would be peddle, peddle, peddle, peddle; ring, ring, ring!

A truck driver I’d be Oh dear, can’t steer, PUT THIS SILLY THING IN GEAR!

18 Little Red Caboose Little red caboose, chug, chug, chug Little red caboose, chug, chug, chug Little red caboose, behind the train, train, train Smokestack on it’s back, back, back, back Goin’ down the track, track, track, track Little red caboose behind the train Woo!

Part of Your World The Little Mermaid

Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think My collection’s complete? Wouldn’t you think I’m the girl The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove, treasures untold How many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around here you’d think Sure, she’s got everything

I’ve got gadgets and gizmos a plenty I’ve got whozits and whatzits galore You want thingamabobs? I’ve got twenty! But who cares? No big deal, I want more

I wanna be where the people are I wanna see, wanna see them dancing Walking around on those—what do you call ‘em?

Oh, feet

Flipping your fins you don’t get too far Legs are required for jumping, dancing Strolling along down a what’s that word again?

Street

Up where they walk Up where they run Up where they stay All day in the sun Wandering free Wish I could be Part of that world

22 What would I give if I could live Out of these waters? What would I pay to spend a day Warm on the sand? Betcha’ on land they’d understand Bet they don’t reprimand their daughters Bright young women sick of swimming Ready to stand

And I’m ready to know what the people know Ask ‘em my questions and get some answers What’s a fire and why does it—what’s the word? Burn? When’s it my turn? Wouldn’t I love, love to Explore that shore up above? Out of the sea, wish I could be part of that world

23 Siesta Time Canoeing, kayaking, and archery Drama, arts & crafts, and waterski Adventure, team challenge Swimming, fishing, and sports

When we go to pottery We could make a pot Jump into the water When the weather gets hot And run back to our cabin To change into our shorts

But ohhhhh I need a little rest Ohhhhhh An hour at best If I could rest My tired head I’d feel just fine How long Till siesta time?

Siesta time, siesta time Like a fiesta in my mind Shhhhhh Siesta time

Siesta time, siesta time Like a fiesta in my mind Shhhhhh

Siesta time

24 25 Sweet Caroline Neil Diamond Where it began I can’t begin to knowin’ But then I know it’s growing strong Was in the spring And spring became the summer Who’d have believed You’d come along

Hands, touchin’ hands Reachin’ out Touchin’ me Touchin’ you

Chorus: Sweet Caroline (ba ba ba) Good times never seemed so good I’ve been inclined (ba ba ba) To believe they never would

But now I...

Look at the night And it don’t seem so lonely We fill it up with only two

And when I hurt Hurtin’ runs off my shoulders How can I hurt when holding you?

Warm, touchin’ warm Reachin’ out Touchin’ me Touchin’ you

Chorus

Oh, no, no Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed So good Sweet Caroline I believe they never could Sweet Caroline 26 Taps Day is done Gone the sun From the lakes From the hills From the sky

All is well Safely rest Camp is nigh

Thanks for the day, Campers! There’s A Hole In My Bucket There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza? With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, with what?

There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole 27 This is My Place Ed Robertson & Jim Creeggan

There’s a lake, and there’s a boat In that water I can float There’s a forest with a trail I can learn to navigate, and learn to sail

There’s a kid who’s just like me When we sing around the campfire we feel free You won’t believe what I just did I climbed right up to the forest top like any other kid

Pre-Chorus: Sing OH - WAY - OH (Oh - Way - Oh) OH - WAY - OH (Oh - Way - Oh) OH - WAY - OH (Oh - Way - Oh OH - WHOA - OH (Oh - Oh - Oh)

Chorus: Hear my voice, sing my song Come with me, we won’t be long Call my name, see my face These are my friends, and this is my place

There’s a beach, and there’s a dock It’s summertime so we get sun till 9 o’clock There are turtles, and there are frogs There are snakes and salamanders under logs

I don’t mind if it rains I brought a deck of cards and we’ll play games There’s a hike that won’t take long Where there’s a waterfall so loud That you can barely hear this song

Pre-Chorus + Chorus

Stars shine, and fireflies light up the sky Sparks rise, and drift away from you and I My, my … this could be a perfect night If the marshmallows are roasted just right

Pre-Chorus + Chorus (2X) 28 Together Wherever We Are When you’re off at camp When you’re off at camp Or when you’re in your home Or when you’re in your home There’s no need to feel There’s no need to feel Like you are on our own Like you are on our own When it comes to friends When it comes to friends Apart is not alone Apart is not alone, near or far Near or far Together, wherever we are Together, wherever we are When you’re nervous or excited Together, together And you’re feeling kinda blue We’re better together Friends are always near to share a smile Together, wherever we are To sing a song or two Nothing’s gonna come between us You and me to - gether No stretch of earth or length of time Wherever we are I’ll be here for you It’s so much better And you’ll be there for me Whether you’re at camp or home No mountain we can’t climb You’re not alone, near or far Together, wherever we are Chorus: Together, wherever we are You and me to - gether Together, wherever we are Wherever we are Together, wherever we are It’s so much better Even though we’re far a – way It’s safe to say, near or far Together, wherever we are

Camp is more than just the cabins More than lakes, or hills, or skies It’s that magic that surrounds us all You can see it our eyes

Chorus

29 Wagon Wheel

Headed down south to the land of the pines I’m thumbing my way into North Caroline Staring up the road and I hope that I see headlights I made it down the coast in seventeen hours Pickin’ me a bouquet of dogwood flowers And I’m a-hopin’ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

Chorus:

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel Rock me momma any way you feel Hey, momma rock me Rock me momma like the wind and the rain Rock me momma like a southbound train Hey, momma rock me

Runnin’ from the cold up in New England I was born to be a fiddler in an old time stringband My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down Lost my money playin’ poker so I had to leave town But I ain’t turnin’ back to livin’ that old life no more

Chorus

Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke Caught a trucker out of Philly told a nice long joke But he’s a heading west from the Cumberland gap To Johnson City, Tennessee And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun I hear my baby callin’ my name and I know that she’s the only one And if I stay in Raleigh at least I will be free

Chorus (2X)
