1 Hey Ho Heeey Hooo Kupugani's got soul SINGING Uh double up uh uh Whooh rock on [repeat once]

As Years Go By Are the ones we’ll never trade As years go by we meet again Now that we are home at last We turn around and find a trusting friend We will remember summers of the past Now that the summer’s in the air We show our love and trust in her Sun and fun is everywhere Kupugani is our home Think of camp and she'll be there We will never ever roam We have smiles We have smiles we have tears We have tears We have memories of the years We have memories of the years And the friends we have made And the friends we have made Are the ones we’ll never trade Goodnight Song Sing in a large circle with arms crossed right over left holding hands. Goodnight There are friendships to remember Goodnight So let’s say As the evening shadows fade into the night One more goodnight With each burning, glowing ember Goodnight Make New Friends Make new friends, We've been friends But keep the old, Right from the very start. One is silver, New made friends, And the other gold. Like new made wine A circle's round, Grow and mature, It has no end, To the end of the time. That's how long Friends like you, I want to be your friend, Are one of a kind, You hold me, Very special, And I'll hold you, And hard to find. Then together, Friends are real, We will make it through. And friends are true, I have a hand, If you love them, And you have another, They will love you too. Put them together, Cherish friendship, And we have each other. In your breast Sew good friends, New is good, Wherever you may roam, But old is best. You'll be welcome, Across the miles, In my heart and home. Across the sea A fire burns bright, Friends forever, It warms the heart, We will always be.

2 The Bear Song (This is a repeat after me song)

The other day, Now don't you fret, I met a bear, Now don't you frown, Out in the woods, Cause I caught that branch, A way out there. On the way back down. The other day I met a bear, Now don't you fret now don't you frown, Out in the woods a way out there. Cause I caught that branch on the way back He looked at me, down. I looked at him, I heard a crack, He sized up me, I heard a crunch, I sized up him. And I became, He looked at me I looked at him, That big bear's lunch. He sized up me I sized up him, I heard a crack I heard a crunch, He said to me, And I became that big bear's lunch. Why don't you run, The moral of, I see you ain't, The story be, Got any gun, Don't meet a bear, He said to me why don't you run? Without a tree. I see you ain't got any gun. The moral of the story be, And so I ran, Don't meet a bear without a tree. Away from there, But right behind, Me was that bear. And so I ran right out of there, But right behind me was that bear. Ahead of me, There was a tree, A great big tree, Oh, glory me. Ahead of me there was a tree, A great big tree oh glory me. The lowest branch, Was ten feet up, I'd have to jump, And trust my luck. The lowest branch was ten feet up, I'd have to jump and trust my luck. And so I jumped, Into the air, But I missed that branch, Away up there. And so I jumped into the air, But I missed that branch away up there.

Then I brush my teeth

And I run away

Cause then I'll fall asleep in the CWE

Then it all restarts in KUPUGANI

And the day goes on and on and on

And the day goes on and on and on

Singing A-oh, I miss that yellow
