Oh Elena (echo),
I've gotta chicabooma. (echo)
I must, I must, I musta. (echo)
Oh Elena galloway galloway. (echo)
This is a nice song (echo), but it's much too quiet. (echo)
It must be louder. (echo) It goes like so. (echo)
 
This song keeps getting louder until the group is at its maximum. It does have a tune that should be kept as long as possible.

OLD KING COLE

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl
And he called for his privates three.

"We do too much work!" said the privates
Merry men are we.
I do swear that none compare
with the field artillery.

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl
And he called for his sergeants three.

"Get to work!" said the sergeants;
"We do too much work!" said the privates.
Merry men are we.
I do swear that none compare with the field artillery.

OLD LADY LEARY

Late last night, when we were all in bed.
Old Lady Leary lit a lantern in the shed.
And when the cow kicked it over, she winked her eye and said,"
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight"
Fire! Fire! Fire!
 
This song is sung through about 3 to 5 times. Each repetition, the bulk of the song is more quiet while the FIRES are yelled louder and louder. At the end, the song would be mouthed and the FIRES screamed.

OLD MACDONALD

Old MacDonald had a farm, e i e i o.
And on this farm he had some ducks, e i e i o.
With a quack-quack here and a quack-quack there.
Here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack quack.
Old Macdonald had a farm e i e i o.

Old Macdonald had a farm, e i e i o.
And on this farm he had some cows, e i e i o.
With a moo-moo here and a moo-moo there.
Here a moo there a moo, everywhere a moo-moo
With quack-quack here and a quack-quack there
Here a quack there a quack, everywhere a quack-quack
Old MacDonald had a farm, e i e i o.

Horse- neigh
Sheep- bah
Dog- ruff
Pig- oink
Cat- meow

ONE FINGER, ONE THUMB

One finger, one thumb one hand keep moving.
One finger, one thumb one hand keep moving.
One finger one thumb one hand keep moving.
And we all go down today! Hey!
And we all go down to stay!

One finger, one thumb, one hand, one foot keep moving.
One finger, one thumb, one hand, one foot keep moving.
One finger, one thumb, one hand, one foot keep moving.
And we all go down today. Hey!
And we all go down to stay!
 
This song continues until the group leader is tired of adding stuff. The list can include arms, heads, hips, etc. And in case you haven't figured it out, you should be shaking or moving the bodyparts that are currently being sung in the song.

ONE HEN

One hen

Two ducks

Three squawking geese

Four Limerick oysters

Five corpulent porpoises

Six pairs of Don Alfante’s tweezers, signed and unused

Seven - count them - seven thousand Macedonian warriors in full battle array, from K Mart

Eight brass monkeys from the ancient, sacred, secret crypts of Egypt

Nine sympathetic, apathetic, diabetic old men on roller skates, with strong propensities towards procrastination and sloth

Ten lyrical, spiritual, diabolical denizens of the deep, who stall, drawl, and crawl their way across the quo, quay queesies of Camp Freeland Leslie.
 
 
GWH
This is a repeat after me song which is spoken, so I suppose it’s not really a song... It was introduced by Ryan Dorland and Jennifer Carroll in 1997 during a visit to CFL. It needs a good memory from the person leading it, but it is well, well worth it!

ONE MAN WENT TO MOW THE MEADOW

One man went to mow, went to mow the meadow.
One man and his dog, a bottle of pop, the girl next door.
One meatball sticking to the wall, went to mow the meadow.

Two men went to mow, went to mow the meadow.
Two men, one man and his dog, bottle of pop... ...
Three men went to mow, went to mow the meadow.

Three men, two men, one man...

Ten men went to mow...
 
In this song, you get faster each time and louder so that by the end you are screaming very fast. This is a Chris Meyer, red-faced, spaz special that used to be sung at the Waterfront during the Mile Swim. Obviously they adapted it to be Swim the Mile.

ON MY HONOR

On my honor, I'll do my best. To do my duty to God.
On my honor, I'll do my best. To serve my country as I may.
On my honor, I'll do my best, to do a good turn each day.
To keep my body strengthened, to keep my mind awakened.
To follow paths of righteousness. On my honor, I'll do my best.

Sometimes this song is finished with the leader saying "Wid der whole orchestra". At this time, all of the instruments play at once rather than waiting their turn. This is generally meant to be a competition to see who can be the loudest section.

OSCAR MAYER WIENER

Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener.
That is what I'd truly like to be e e.
Cuz if I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener,
Everyone would be in love with me.
 
This, my friends, is an advertiser's dream. Hundreds of campers and staffers, through the years, signing their theme song.

THE OTHER DAY

The other day. REPEAT I saw a bear. REPEAT
A great big bear. REPEAT A way out there. REPEAT
The other day I saw a bear. A great big bear a way out there.
A way out there.
 
He said to me. REPEAT Why don't you run? REPEAT
I see you ain't. REPEAT Got any gun. REPEAT
He said to me why don't you run. I see you ain't got any gun.
Got any gun.

And so I ran. REPEAT Away from there. REPEAT
But right behind REPEAT Me was that bear. REPEAT...

And so I sprang REPEAT Into the air. REPEAT
But I missed that branch. REPEAT Away up there. REPEAT...

Now don't you fret. REPEAT And don't you frown. REPEAT
Cuz I caught that branch. REPEAT On the way back down. REPEAT

This is the end. REPEAT There ain't no more. REPEAT
Unless I see REPEAT That bear once more. REPEAT...
