SONGS

The Grand Old Captain Kirk

Heart of America Council

Tune: The  Grand  Old  Duke of York

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 getting faster each time.

This can also be done in a round.

The grand old captain Kirk,

He had ten thousand druids

He beamed them up 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.

Song leader ends by saying – “HA! For those who followed instructions sit down!” or something similar.  Don’t print this line. CD

STAR WARS

Sam Houston Area Council

Tune: Are you Sleeping

R - two D -two, R - two D - two,

C-three-P-O, C-three-P-O.

O - bee wan ka no be, O - bee wan ka no be

Hans so lo, Hans so lo.

CUB IN OUTER SPACE

Sam Houston Area Council

Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle little stars,

How I wished I lived on Mars.

It's the planet that's all red,

I would never go to bed.

Martian kids would be my friends.

I would set new Cub Scout trends.

When the Cubs would want to race,

We'd fly out to outer space.

Take a rocket to the moon,

Or blast off to Neptune.

And when we got all worn out,

We could all just float about.

Twinkle, twinkle little stars,

We would fly fast space cars.

Living out in space is neat.

Think of aliens we could meet.

How I wish I lived up there,

Breathing only bottled air.

THE NOBLE CAPTAIN KIRK

Sam Houston Area Council

Tune: Farmer in the Dell

The noble Captain Kirk,

He had four hundred men.

He beamed them up to the Enterprise,

And beamed down again.

And when they're up, they're up,

And when they're down, they're down.

And when they're only halfway up,

They're nowhere to be found.

PLANETS AROUND THE SUN

Sam Houston Area Council

Tune: The Ants Go Marching

The planets revolve around the sun, hurrah; hurrah

The planets revolve around the sun, hurrah; hurrah

The planets revolve around the sun

And spin on their axis every one,

And they all go spinning, around and around, they go.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, hurrah; hurrah

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, hurrah; hurrah

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars

Are whirling and twirling around the sun

And they all go spinning, around and around, they go.

Jupiter, Saturn are next in line, hurrah; hurrah

Jupiter, Saturn are next in line, hurrah; hurrah

Jupiter, Saturn are next in line.

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto make nine

And they all go spinning, around and around, they go.

STARS AND PLANETS

Circle Ten Council

Tune: Frere Jaques

If you want, sing as a round.

Stars and Planets, Stars and planets,

Comets too, Comets too!

Meteor shower, meteor shower,

Zoom zoom zoom, zoom zoom zoom

ASTRONAUT SONG

Circle Ten Council

Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It

Outer space is where I really like to go.

I ride inside a spaceship, don't you know.

I like to travel near the stars

Wave to Jupiter and Mars

Outer space is where I really like to go.

Space

Heart of America Council

Tune: Clementine

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.

Into space now, into space now

Heading for the great unknown.

Shooting stars with tails a blazing.

This could be the twilight zone.

Total darkness now surrounds us

And our bodies have no weight.

Oh my goodness! There's my napkin,

Cup and saucer and my plate.

There's the moon now right before us

Glowing silvery and gray.

How I long to take a picture

But my camera floats away.

Moving onward through the darkness

Where the stars so brightly shine.

I'm amazed at what's before us.

So ! continue down the line.

SPACE DERBY SONG

Bay Area Council via Circle Ten Council

Tune: Camptown Races

Cub Scouts all join in the song,

Doo-dah, doo-dah!

Spaceship 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

The Cub Scout Pack

Heart of America Council

Tune: You're a Grand Old Flag

We're a Cub Scout pack;

We're a high-flying pack;

Down the trail of Akela we go.

Bobcat. Wolf and Bear and Webelos,

As into good Boy Scouts we grow.

Every Cub is true

To the gold and the blue,

And he never forgets the fact

That all the fun a boy could want

He can find in our Cub Scout Pack.
