Trash Rap

(Chant to a rap beat.)
Sandy from various resources

We’re Pack ____ , comin’ on through

Recycling trash and we’re doing it for you!

We don’t claim to have the whole solution

We’re just trying to stop the pollution!

We pick up the trash and pick up the litter

We tell our parents and the baby-sitter:

“Garbage is a mess, it makes the world dirty

If we keep this up, by the time we’re thirty

We’ll be sitting on piles of non-decaying plastic,

Disposable diapers and pieces of elastic,

Broken glass and old tin cans;

Clean up the world!  That’s the name of this plan.”

We don’t claim to have the whole solution,

We’re just trying to stop the pollution!

The water is filthy; it’s not fit to drink

And the air around us, it really stinks!

We have to start now to clean up our act

Or we’re gonna kill the Earth and that’s a fact!

The government is working to pass some legislation,

To make the Earth fit for future generations.

But, you’ll agree that it’s not enough          

It’s up to us and we’ve got to be tough!

We’re Pack ____ , comin’ on through

Recycling trash and we’re doing it for you!

We don’t claim to have the whole solution

We’re just trying to stop the pollution!

Try this one as a round.

Make It Better
(Tune: "Frere Jacque")
Baden-Powell Council

We are looking, we are looking,

Around our world, yes we are.

Trying to make it better.

Trying to make it better.

For everyone - everyone.

Litterbugs Beware
(Tune: Auld Lang Syne)
Heart of America Council

We are the folks who hunt the bugs,

That litter up our streets,

With papers, bottles, old tin cans,

And wrappers off their sweets.

Chorus:

No litterbugs, No litterbugs,

No Litterbugs for us.

Let’s start today to do our share.

No litterbugs for us.

We want to keep our playground clean,

Without a lot of fuss,

Let’s start today to do our share.

No litterbugs for us.

Good Health Rag
(Tune: Ball and Jack, words by Pat Miller)
Heart of America Council

First you stand up and touch your nose,

Then you bend right down and touch your toes,

Straighten back up with your arms out straight,

Then you move your arms in circles around in space.

And you start your feet a marching in a Cub Scout stride,

Just keep up the movement and don’t you sag,

This is what we call the Good Health Rag!

Around Us
Tune: There is a Tavern in the Town)
Heart of America Council

There are some Cub Scouts in the town, in the town;

And they are looking all around, all around;

To make our town a better place to be,

Each hopes to plant and raise a tree!

This Land Is Your Land
Circle 10 Council

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.

As I went walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me the endless skyway.
I saw below me the golden valley,
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,
All around me a voice was sounding,
This land was made for you and me.

When the sun came shining, then I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,
A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.

This Land Is Our Land
(Tune: This Land Is Your Land)
Circle 10 Council

This land is our land,
We must protect it.
A careless camper
Could put her in danger
So let’s all practice
Remember the outdoor code
This land needs help from you and me.

Trash Song
By Carol Mellott, sung to: "London Bridge"
National Capital Area Council

Trash is blowing all around,
All around, all around.
Trash is blowing all around,
All around the town.

Let's get busy and pick it up,
Pick it up, pick it up.
Let's get busy and pick it up,
All around the town.

Put the trash in a big trash bag,
Bit trash bag, big trash bag.
Put the trash in a big trash bag,
All around the town.

Birds in the Wilderness Song
Tune: "The Old Grey Mare'
National Capital Area Council

Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,
Birds in the wilderness,
Birds in the wilderness,
Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,
Waiting for our food.

The Tree Toad
(tune: Auld Lang Syne)
National Capital Area Council

A tree toad loved a fair she toad
That live up in a tree
She was a fair three-toed tree toad
But a two-toed toad was he
The two-toed tree toad tried to win
The she toad's friendly nod
For the two-toed toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree toad trod

Now three-toed tree toads have no care
For two-toed tree toad love
But the two-toed tree feign would share
A tree home up above

In vain the two-toed tree toad tried
He couldn't please her whim
In her tree toad bower with veto power
The she toad vetoed him!
