Brownie and Guide songs

[Diversion]

Carrying on from the school hymns thread I thought I would ask if any of you remember your Brownie or Guide songs? For some strange reason many of these are stuck in my head, to pop out from time to time including the actions 😂. I'm taking home my baby bumble bee, This little guiding light of mine, Oh I had an Aunty an Aunty Monica (and when she went out shopping they would all say ooh la la, because her hat is swaying, swaying to and fro) Our chalet, Camp fires burning, Kookaburra and a game we played called Walk the Deck.

A tall girl guide, a tall girl guide, a skinny little brownie and a tall girl guide. The Leeeeaders, the leeeeaders a skinny little brownie and a tall girl guide

Barges and Swinging Along have taken me back in time! I also have fond memories of the Sipping Cider one!

This is a great thread! I'm still a leader now but I loved singing when I was a guide. One song that is banned now that I used to sing is Sambo

Oh sambo had a auntie, an auntie very poor, one day she said to sambo get down and scrub that floor, sambo feeling tired went upstairs to bed, sliding down the banister he landed on his head. Crash bang. More work for the under taker, another little job for the tombstone maker, in our local cemetery on the tombstone you will see sambo rip rest in peace!

Then another verse about his having a rich uncle.

Then another about him working on the railway tracks.

Also oh you never go to heaven, the second bit in between the verses when you normally sing I ain't grieve no more I ain't gonna grieve no more. We used to sing, I ain't gonna spit I ain't gonna swear I ain't gonna pull my sisters hair I ain't gonna grieve no more.

1)My girl's a corker
She's a new Yorker
Id do most anything to keep her in sight
She's got a pair of hips
just like 2 battleships
Thats where all my money go-o-ooeess!

2. A pair of lips just like 2 greasy chips 3 )a head of hair just like a grizzly bear 4 ) a pair if eyes just like 2 custard pies

Another verse
'Oh you never go to heaven
With a fat girl guide
Cos the pearly gates
Just aint that wide'

Oh you’ll never get to heaven
In Brown Owl’s car
’Cause Brown Owl’s car
Wouldn’t get that far

Oh you’ll never get to heaven
In a biscuit tin
’Cause a biscuit tin’s
Got biscuits in 😂

If I was not a Brownie a secretary I would be
Typing letters, typing letters, sitting on the bosses knee!!

Wtf! 😂

If I was not a girl guide, this is what I'd be.
If I was not a girl guide a motorcyclist/air hostess/ etc I would be.

Oh you’ll never get to heaven
On a boy scout’s knee
Cos you don’t know where
His hands might be

My cubs absolutely love this one! It's their favourite, along with 'I saw a bird with a yellow bill', which someone mentioned up thread. We had to stop singing these for a while, as one of the parent complained we were encouraging animal cruelty.
