Camp Songs

Singing, whether you have a voice like Madonna or Mo from Eastenders, is a fundamental aspect of camp! Your camp is going to have it's very own 'camp song'; whether it's a traditional camp song, specific to that camp or whether it's an adopted song; such as Wonderwall (yep, the one by Oasis!) So drink plenty of water and maybe the odd spoonful of honey and prepare your vocal chords for a summer spent singing your heart out...

The Song That Gets On Everybody's Nerves

I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves,
Everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves.
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves,
And this is how it goes...

The Song that Never Ends

This is the song that never ends.
Yes it goes on, and on my friend,
Some people, started singing it not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue singing it forever just because,
This is the song that never ends.
(it keeps going on like that)

It's a Small World

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears,
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears,
There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware,
It's a small world after all,

Chorus:

It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small, small world,

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all

Milk

Don't give me no pop, no pop
Don't give me no tea, no tea

Give me a long M (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
Give me a short M (Mm)

Kookaburra

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he,
Laugh, kookaburra, laugh, kookaburra,
Gay your life must be, ha, ha, ha!

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Eating all the gumdrops he can see,
Stop, kookaburra, stop, kookaburra,
Save some there for me, ha, ha, ha!

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Counting all the monkeys he can see,
Stop, kookaburra, stop, kookaburra,
That's not a monkey, that's me, ha, ha, ha!
