LEAH-AH-AH-AH,AH

Circle Game by JONI MITCHELL

C,F,C,F, G,C,F,C,F, C - (Chorus) - C,F,C,F,C,F,C,F,C,F,C

Yesterday a child came out to wonder. Caught a dragon fly inside a jar. Fearful when the sky was full of thunder and tearful at the falling of a star.

And the seasons they go round and round and the painted ponies go up and down, we're captive of a carousel of time. We can return we can only look behind from where we came and go round and round and round in the circle game.

Then the child moved ten times round the season. Painted over ten clear frozen streams. Tears like when you're older must appease him. And promises of someday make him dream.

Chorus And the seasons......

So the years spin by and now the boy is 20 . His dreams have lost some grandeur coming true, but there'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty before his last revolving year is through.

Chorus And the seasons......

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now cart wheels turn to car wheels through the town and they tell him take your time now till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

Chorus And the seasons......

Moondance

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heat-strings that play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Chorus: Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight I can't wait 'til the morning has come And I know that the time is just right And straight into my arms you will run And when you come my heart will be waiting To make sure that you're never alone There and then all my dreams will come true, dear There and then I will make you my own And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside And I know how much you want me that you can't hide

Chorus

Repeat 1st Verse

One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night La, la, la, la in the moonlight On a magic night Can't I just have one more dance with you my love

CHILDREN GO WHERE I SEND THEE Peter, Paul & Mary

Children go where I send thee How shall I send thee? Well, I'm gonna send thee one by one One for the little bitty baby Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem Said he was born, born, born in Bethlehem

THE CAT CAME BACK

Old farmer Johnson had troubles of his own, He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home He tried and he tried to get the cat away But the cat came back the very next day. Oh...

Chorus: The cat came back the very next day Oh, the cat came back They thought he was a gonner But the cat came back He just wouldn't stay away, away, away, away

The man around the corner swore he'd shoot that cat on site He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite He waited and he waited for the cat to come around But 97 pieces of the man was all they found and... (chorus)

He gave it to a man going up in a balloon And told him for to give it to the man in the moon Balloon came down 500 miles away But the cat came back the very next day, Oh... (chorus)

He gave it a man going way out west And told him for to give it to the one he loved the best First the train hit the track and then it jumped the rail And no one else was left alive to tell the gruesome tale, but... (chourus)

The A-bomb fell just the other day And H-bomb came in the very same way Russia went, Europe went and then the USA The human race was finished without a chance to pray BUT... THE... Cat came back...

FATHER AND SON (Cat Stevens, from _Tea for the Tillerman_, 1970?)

It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy You're still young that's your fault, there's so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy to be calm, when you've found something going on.

But take your time, think a lot, think of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

Chorus:

How can I try to explain? when I do he turns away again it's always been the same, same old story

From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen now there's a way and I know I have to go away and I know I have to go

Verse: (away) (away) It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly (I) (know) (I have) You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have (to make this) to go through (decision) (alone) Find a girl, settle down, if you want to you can marry (know) [no?] Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy (stay) (stay, stay) All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside (why?) (must) (you go and make this de- It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it. cision) (alone?) If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. Cat's In The Cradle Words and music by Harry Chapin and Sandy Chapin

My child arrived just the other day; he came into the world in the usual way. But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay. He learned to walk while I was away. And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it. And as he grew he'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, Dad. You know I'm gonna be like you."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you comin' home Dad?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Son. You know we'll have a good time then."

My son turned ten just the other day. He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play. Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today. I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay." And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed. It said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you comin' home Dad?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Son. You know we'll have a good time then."

Well, he came home from college just the other day, so much like a man I just had to say, "Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while?" He shook his head and he said with a smile, "What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys. See you later. Can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you comin' home Son?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad. You know we'll have a good time then."

I've long since retired, my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day. I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind." He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time. You see, my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu, but it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad. It's been sure nice talkin' to you." And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me, he'd grown up just like me. My boy was just like me.

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you comin' home Son?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad, we're gonna have a good time then."

IF I HAD A HAMMER (Seeger/Hayes)

If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land

I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning, I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters, all over this land.

If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning, I'd ring it in the evening, all over this land

I'd ring out danger, I'd ring out a warning I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters, all over this land.

If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning, I'd sing it in the evening, all over this land

I'd sing out danger, I'd sing out a warning I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters, all over this land.

Well I got a hammer, and I got a bell, and I got a song to sing, all over this land.

It's the hammer of Justice, it's the bell of Freedom, it's the song about Love between my brothers and my sisters, all over this land.

It's the hammer of Justice, it's the bell of Freedom, it's the song about Love between my brothers and my sisters, all over this land.

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE (John Denver)

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go I'm standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breakin', its early morn The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.

(Chorus)

So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go. I'm leavin' on a jet plane I Don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down So many times I've played around I tell you now, they don't mean a thing Every place I go, I think of you Every song I sing, I sing for you When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.

(Chorus)

Now the time has come to leave you One more time let me kiss you Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way. Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times, I won't have to say.

(Chorus)

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND (Woody Guthrie)

(Chorus) This land is your land, this land is my land, From California, to the New York Island, From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters, This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was singing This land was made for you and me!

(Chorus)

As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me those golden valleys This land was made for you and me!

(Chorus)

As the sun was shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting, a voice was saying* This land was made for you and me!

(Chorus)

Mockingbird

Mock, yeah. Ing, yeah. Bird, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Mockingbird now everybody. Have you heard? He's gonna buy me a mockingbird. A mockingbird. And if that mockingbird don't sing, he's gonna buy me a diamond ring. A diamond ring. And if that diamond ring don't shine. Ring don't shine. It will surely take that heart of mii-ee-ii-ee-ine and that's why I keep on tellin' everybody sayin' yeah yeah whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh oh oh oh. Mama. (Big musical bridge here.) So everybody have you heard, he's gonna buy me a mockingbird. A mockingbird and that's why I keep on telling everybody sayin' yeah yeah whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh.

I think that's it but there might be another verse.

MOCKINGBIRD

Hush little baby, don't say a word Pappa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

If that mockingbird don't sing Pappa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

If that diamond ring turns brass Pappa's gonna buy you a lookin' glass

If that lookin' glass gets broke Pappa's gonna buy you billy goat

If that billy goat don't pull Pappa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

If that cart and bull turns over Pappa's gonna buy you a doggie named Rover

If that dog named Rover don't bark Pappa's gonna buy you a horse and cart

If that horse and cart fall down You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

SWIMMING SWIMMING

I make no promises or guarantees on the spelling. Remember, each line gets repeated. Swimming, Swimming. In the Swimming Pool, When days are hot, When days are cold, In the Swimming Pool, Breast Stroke, Side Stroke, Fancy Diving Too, Now don't you wish that you had nothing else to do! There are also some very cool hand movements that go with this song.

SWIMMING SWIMMING (another version) swimming swimming in the swimming hole..when days are hot, when days are cold in the swimming hole, breast stroke, side stroke, fancy diving too.. wouldn't it be nice if we could go swimming too... then you repeat the whole thing but each time deleting a line and humming it instead!

THE TITANIC

Oh they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue, and they thought they had a ship that the water would never leak through, but the lord’s almighty hand knew this ship would never stand. It was sad when that great ship went down...

I was sad it was sad, it was sad when the great ship went down to the bottom of the... uncles and aunts, little boys lost their pants, it was sad when the great ship went down.

Oh, they sailed from England, and were almost to the shore, When the rich refused to associate with the poor, So they put them down below, where they were the first to go.

The boat was full of sin, and the sides about to burst, When the captain shouted, “A- women and children first! Oh, the captain tried to wire, but the lines were all on fire.

Oh, they swung the lifeboats out over the deep and raging sea, When struck up with, “A-nearer My God to Thee.” Little children wept and cried, as the waves swept over the side.

Oh, they built another ship called the SS92 and the stern was red and the bow blue and the christened it with gin and the whole damn thing went in.

THE TITANIC COMMENTS

Of course Camp Leah had a few special lyrics of it's own. As noted, our chorus was : Uncles and aunts, little boys/girls lost their pants But the real chorus is Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives Real lyric: the captain shouted, “A-women and children first!" Camp lyric: the captain shouted, "My wife and I go first!" Real lyric: they christened it with gin and the whole damn thing went in. Camp lyric: they christened it with beer and it sank right off the pier Camp lyrics may not be historically accurate but are much more entertaining!

Rise and shine

Rise and Shine and give god your glory glory, Rise and Shine and give god your glory glory rise and shine and give god your glory glory, children of the lord.

The lord said to Noah there going to be a floody floody, The lord said to Noah there going to be a floody floody Get those children out of the muddy muddy, children of the lord

So Noah he built him, he built him an arkie arkie, Noah he built him, he built him an arkie arkie He made it out of hickory barkie barkie, children of the lord

The animals they came on they came on by twoseys twoseys, animals they came on they came on by twoseys twoseys, Elephants and kangaroosees roosees, children of the lord

It rained and rained for forty daysies daysies, it rained and rained for forty daysies daysies, drove those animals nearly crazy crazy, children of the lord.

The sun came out and dried up the landy landy, The sun came out and dried up the landy landy, everything was fine and dandy dandy, children of the lord.

HEAD SHOULDERS KNEES AND TOES

Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, Knees and Toes, Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes, and Eyes and Ears and Mouth and Nose; Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes.

THE MARVELOUS TOY (Tom Paxton)

When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy, My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy. A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.

(Refrain) It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped, "Whirrr" when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.

The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons That looked like big green eyes I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid And when I set it down again, here is what it did:

(Refrain)

It first marched left, and then marched right And then marched under a chair And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find, When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.

(Refrain)

The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy: His eyes nearly popped right out of his head And he gave a squeal of glee! Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!

It still goes... (refrain)

DAY IS DONE (Peter Yarrow)

Tell me why you're crying, my son I know you're frightened, like everyone Is it the thunder in the distance you fear? Will it help if I stay very near? I am here.

(Refrain)

And if you take my hand my son All will be well when the day is done. And if you take my hand my son All will be well when the day is done.

Day is done, Day is done Day is done, Day is done

Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son? You shall inherit what mankind has done. In a world filled with sorrow and woe If you ask me why this is so, I really don't know.

(Refrain)

Tell me why you're smiling my son Is there a secret you can tell everyone? Do you know more than men that are wise? Can you see what we all must disguise through your loving eyes ?

(Refrain)

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE (Pete Seeger)

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing? Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago? Where have all the flowers gone? Young girls have picked them everyone. Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh when will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing? Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago? Where have all the young girls gone, gone for husbands everyone. Oh when will they every learn? Oh when will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing? Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago? Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards, everyone. Oh, when will they every learn? Oh when will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing? Where have all the graveyards gone, lone time ago? Where have all the graveyards gone? Gone to flowers, everyone. Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh when will they ever learn?

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing? Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago? Where have all the flowers gone? Young girls have picked them everyone. Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh when will they ever learn?

THE GIRLS CAME BACK (TO THE TUNE OF THE CAT CAME BACK)

We all were campers on senior side watching Armstrong land on the moon with pride panty raids, schmutz hunts, bunks open to the weather Thirty years later and we are still together and the girls came back the very next year But when the girls got back Edalia changed to Leah but the girls came back we just couldn't stay away away away away

The art budget was tight but we just didn't care leaf mobiles, painted rocks, ribbons in our hair Canoe trips were fun, they'd drop us off and run we made it down the Delaware without drowning anyone. and girls came back year after year oh the girls came back who would have thought it but the girls came back we just couldn't stay away away away away

On the field we ran through the toxic bug spray it's amazing we don't have 3 eyes today who would have thought it could have caused our death thank god half the time we held our breath and the girls came back year after year oh the girls came back each year a little smarter but the girls came back we just couldn't stay away away away away

We all have memories about Teen Rock getting caught with a joint or a smoke on the dock they'd drag us to the office, make us stay all day we're so happy that they never told Jay. and the girls came back year after year oh the girls came back who would have thought it but the girls came back we just couldn't stay away away away away

To get away from counselors We'd hang out in the johns We'd talk about the boys and learn to use tampons Practicing for oneg really was a drag But we really liked the socials after Sadie Hawkins tag and the girls came back year after year oh the girls came back who would have thought it but the girls came back we just couldn't stay away away away awa

LTG side was really the best Annie Get Your Gun-- our play about the west we'd hike to Lake Welch and hitch a ride back leaving all the others to carry our pack but the girls came back year after year oh the girls came back who would have thought it yes--the girls came back we just couldn't stay away away away away

{Karen's solo...} Life girl year was a great one for me It's here I lost my virginity {Rita's solo...} My mom said I couldn't go-- the fee was too steep so I hitched up the parkway at least once a week but the girls came back year after year but the girls came back who would have thought it but the girls came back we just couldn't stay away away away away

{Rachel's solo...} Staff on senior side was lots of fun We could get drunk until a quarter to one {Donna's solo} We'd mix up the vodka and the funny face we'd be late for round up and they'd get on our case {all together now...} but the girls came back year after year and the girls came back who would have thought it but the girls came back we just couldn't stay away away away

Now were very grown up with stories to tell to our kids about the camp that we loved so well No computers, no TV, no electricity no flush toilets for you and me. Now we can't go back, year after year no we can't go back, although we'd really love to we can't go back, but our memories WON'T fade away, away, away, away..

SARGE, I'M ONLY 18

I'm just a typical boy From an anti-Vietnam town I believe in God And Senator Dodd And kepping old Castro down But when it came my time to serve I knew better red than dead So I went to my local draft board seargent And this is what I said

Saaaaaaarge I'm only 18, I've got a ruptured spleen And I always carry a purse. I've got eyes like a bat and my feet are flat And my asthma's getting worse. Well, think of my career, my sweetheart dear, My poor old invalid aunt. `Sides I ain't no fool, I'm a going to school And I'm working in a defense plant.

I got a dislocated disk, got a wracked up back, I'm allergic to flowers and bugs And when the bombshell hits I get epileptic fits, I'm addicted to 1000 drugs. I got the weakness woes can't touch my toes, can't hardly reach my knees and if the enemy gets close to me, they'll probably start to sneeze.

(Chorus)

So I wish you well Sarge, give em hell, kill me a thousand or so. And if you ever get a war without blood and gore well I'll be the first to go. Yee Haaaa.

Rocky Raccoon:

Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon And one day his woman ran off with another guy Hit young Rocky in the eye. Rocky didn't like that He said I'm gonna get that boy So one day he walked into town Booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room Only to find Gideon's bible Rocky had come equipped with a gun To shoot off the legs of his rival His rival it seems had broken his dreams By stealing the girl of his fancy Her name was Magill and she called herself Lil But everyone knew her as Nancy. Now she and her man who called himself Dan Were in the next room at the hoe down Rocky burst in and grinning a grin He said Danny boy this is a showdown But Daniel was hot and he drew first and shot And Rocky collapsed in the corner (Ahhhh, Da da da da da Da da da da da doo doo doo doo doo...) Now the doctor came in stinking of gin And proceeded to lie on the table He said Rocky you met your match And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch And I'll be better, I'll be better Doc as soon as I am able.

Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room Only to find Gideon's bible Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt To help with good Rocky's revival. (Ahhhh, yeah, yeah, Doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo) Come on Rocky.... Come on Rocky.... Sorry, Rocky.

Camp in Bear Mtn

There is a Camp in Bear Mtn in which we all know. So it boggles the mind that we still all go. What you are about to hear is a camper's own story. About the legend of Leah in all of its glory. I just got finished with lousy school. It is summer time so things are really cool. Until Dad and this woman in bed I found. The next thing I knew I was Leah bound.

(Chorus: In Leah you may not have any fun. But we all learned how to run. And you know what happens if we're slow. Look at that camper go!! Another runaway. )

We have the cleanest windows you ever saw. And the beds are made of the finest straw. But you can't watch TV cause there kind of dim. So we watch the naked girls after general swim. We're told to make are bed from day to day so the counselor and his girl have a place to lay. Did I tell you that the counselors are really nice. Except for the day my head was full of lice.

(Chorus)

The kitchen has pros right up to the boss. They know my heart Mcdonalds secret sauce. And you always get a balanced meal. A fifty, fifty chance you'll live through the veal.

(chorus)

We got no bear hunting, we got no bear, but we do have Monty some where out there. And if I said we rode horses I would be a liar, but we do get to set caterpillars on fire. The wildlife is always easy to sight, cause the bats enjoy flying in your face all night. I can watch raccoons all evening you know. I have little choice because they chew on my toe.

(Chorus)

The bus is now leaving this camp up state. I have to go right now I can't be late, But I'll always remember this place I been, cause for the last 3 weeks I been holding it in

(Chorus and "come back bus!!!)

Okay I'm going back to sleep now I'm getting older that took alot out of me. Love to all.

The oatmeal they serve is really good. For cubbies and anything made of wood, and the meatloaf they say is aok as long as you forget they cleaned the johns today - Then chorus.
