Space Derby
Song
(Tune: Camp town Races)
National Capital Area Council
Cub Scouts all join in the song,
Doo-dah, doo-dah!
Space ship wire is mighty long.
Oh, doo-dah day!
Chorus:
Going to fly so fast,
Going to get ahead.
Bet my money on a blue spaceship,
Somebody bet on the red.
Spaceships - red, blue, green, and gray,
Doo-dah, doo-dah!
Running on the wire today.
Oh, doo-dah day!
Chorus
They're the pride of all the lads,
Doo-dah, doo-dah!
Built by Cub Scouts, Moms and Dads.
Oh, doo-dah day!
Chorus
Song for A Space Theme
(Tune: Clementine)
National Capital Area Council
On the launch pad, on the launch pad,
We can see for miles around.
In a second we have lift-off
With our ship high off the ground.
Chorus:
Into space now, into space now
Heading for the great unknown.
Shooting stars with tails blazing.
This could be the twilight zone.
Chorus:
Total darkness now surrounds us
And our bodies have no weight.
Oh my goodness! There's my napkin,
Cup and saucer and my plate.
Chorus:
There's the moon now right before us
Glowing silvery and gray.
How I long to tale a picture
But my camera floats away.
Chorus:
Moving onward through the darkness
Where the stars so brightly shine.
I'm amazed at what's before us.
So I continue down the line.
Chorus
“The Grand Ole Captain Kirk”
Tune: The Grand Old Duke of York
Crossroads of Amerca Council
This is an action song. When you sing UP everyone stands.
When you sing DOWN everyone sits down. When you sing HALFWAY UP gets in a
squatting position. Repeat the song several times. This can also be done in a
round.
The grand ole captain Kirk,
He had ten thousand druids
He beamed them up to the ship
Then he beamed them down again.
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only halfway up
They were neither up or down.
The grand ole captain Kirk,
He had five thousand quarks
He beamed them up for fun
Then he beamed them down again.
And when they were up, they were hot,
And when they were down, they were cold,
And when they were only halfway up
They were neither hot nor cold.
HA! For those who followed instructions sit down!
Moon Walk
(Tune: La Cucaracha)
York Adams Area Council
I have a spaceship,
I have a spaceship,
and I will fly it to the moon.
I have a spaceship,
I have a space ship,
and I will go there very soon.
And when I get there,
and when I get there,
I will walk upon the moon.
And I will see it,
and I will like it.
Oh it will be so very cool!
Stars and
Planets
York Adams Area Council
(Tune: Swanee River)
Way up among the stars and planets,
Far, far in space.
That's where we'll find the life and knowledge,
To live out there some day.
If you search the Milky Way,
You may find life there.
Way up among the stars and planets,
Far out in Outer Space.
Spacemen
York Adams Area Council
(tune: Down by the Station)
Down by the rockets
Early in the morning.
See the spacemen waiting
For the time to go.
Rockets fueled and ready
Pushing all the buttons
Roar! Roar! Woosh! Woosh!
Off they go.
The Astronaut’s Plea
(tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
York Adams Area Council
I went for a ride in a spaceship,
The moon and the planets to see.
I went for a ride in a spaceship,
And listen to what happened to me.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back by spaceship to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my spaceship to me.
I went for a ride on a spaceship
The capsule was crowded and I
Developed a cramp in my muscles.
So I took a walk in the sky.
I went for a walk In my spacesuit
The ship was controlled from the ground
And someone In charge down at NASA
Forgot I was walking around.
Chorus
Life on other Planets
"World of Tomorrow"
(tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
York Adams Area Council
Last Night as I lay on my pillow,
And drifted off slowly to sleep.
I thought of the world of tomorrow
These thoughts through my mind did creep.
A computer will do all my homework,
A robot will do all the chores,
If I spend the whole day just playing,
I fear that I may become bored.
Chorus: Bring back, bring back
O bring back the old days to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back the old days to me.
My jet powered bike will be speedy,
I'll fly in my spaceship to Mars,
But what if I get lost in space,
And can't find my way through the stars?
Chorus
My parents will have their own rocket,
We'll travel through space very quick,
I'm not sure I'll like that fast travel,
I may even get space sick.
Chorus
Our family might move to Venus,
I don't know what we would find there,
I'd sure miss my friends back on Earth,
They're the best friends I'll find anywhere.
Chorus
Dehydrated food for breakfast,
Dehydrated food for lunch,
Oh what I would give for a Big Mac
And potato chips that I can crunch.
