If it's raining and you know it clap your hands (Clap,Clap)

If the temperature is falling, and your spirits are appalling
If the temperature is falling, rub your hands (Rub, Rub)

I Hear Thunder

(Tune Frere Jacques)

What's the weather?

What's the weather?

What's the weather like today?

Is it rainy?

Is it windy?

Are their clouds or is there sun?

Cub Scout Hiking Song
(Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)
Circle 10 Council

Oh, we can sing out loud and we can sing out oh so strong,

For we’re a group of Cub Scouts just traveling along.

And when you see us coming,

You will know that we are here

For miles around you’ll hear is

As we sing so loud and cheer.

CHORUS:

Yes, we are a group of Cub Scouts,

Yes, we are a group of Cub Scouts,

Yes, we are a group of Cub Scouts,

Just listen and you’ll hear our shouts.

Take Me Out To The Forest
(Tune: Take Me Out to the Ball Game)
National Capital Area Council

Take me out to the forest.
Let me hike in the wild.
Show me a skunk and a few bear tracks.
I won't care if I never come back.

But it's look, look, at your compass.
And if it rains, then it pours.
And it's ouch, slap, sting and your bit
In the great outdoors!

To The Woods
National Capital Area Council

Hi ho, hi ho, it's to the woods we go.
To catch some snail on backwoods trails.
Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's in the woods we go.
To gaze at stars, won't hear no cars.
Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's through the woods we go.
To search the skies for butterflies.
Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho.

Hi ho, hi ho, out of the woods we go.
We'll pitch our tent, our legs are spent.
Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho.

Tarzan Of The Apes
National Capital Area Council
(Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)

I like bananas, coconuts and grapes. (3X)

That's why they call me Tarzan of the Apes!

(When you are singing 'I like bananas, coconuts and grapes, bend over with arms swinging in front of you like an ape.  Say  very loudly and stand up and beat your chest).

The Flying Birds
National Capital Area Council
(Tune: The Flying Trapeze)

They fly through the air

with the greatest of ease.

Those big flocks of pigeons

and gulls from the seas.

No dog on the ground

or big snakes in the trees,

Can fly high like the ducks and the geese.

I once had a duck,

and that duck's name was Phil.

One morning he woke

with a terrible chill.

The dew was too heavy,

he drowned on the hill,

Yes, he died from an over dew bill.

Once just for a joke

me and Tim, my big brother,

Caught fifteen wild geese

who were downed by the weather.

We poured on some glue,

and found birds of a feather,

In fact really do stick together.

Oh cows have no feathers,

and zebras can't fly.

And aardvarks and beavers

can't zoom through the sky.

And I can't take off

although I always try,

I guess I'll be an earth bound guy.

Middle Tennessee Council
Scout Wetspers
(Tune: "O Tannenbaum")

Softly falls the rain today
As our campfire floats away.
Silently each scout should ask
"Did I bring my SCUBA mask?
Have I tied my tent flaps down?
Learned to swim, so I won't drown?
Have I done and will I try
Everything to keep me dry?"
(Lyrics by Chuck Bramlet, GCC)
