THE CAMP SONG - OH EAGLE'S NEST
Oh, Eagle's Nest, we sing to thee,
For thou art the camp for me.
Oh that's the camp on the Delaware,
Where they don't care what you wear.
We have our duties there to do,
And our fun comes with it, too
Oh Eagle's Nest, we sing to thee,
For thou art the Camp for me.

Whatever school or name or fame,

Sunset and evening glow.

FOLLOW THE GLEAM
To the knights in the days of old
Keeping watch on the mountain high,
Came the vision of Holy Grail,
And a voice through the waiting night:
"Follow, follow, follow the gleam!"
Banners unfurled o'er all the world,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the Chalice that is the Grail.

And he who would serve the King
And loyally him obey,
In the consecrate silence known
That the Chalice still holds today;
Follow, follow, follow the gleam,
Standards of worth o'er all the earth,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam,
Of the light that shall bring the dawn.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

You look rather drowsy, in fact you look lousy,
Is that any way to start of the day? _________________

SWEETLY SINGS THE DONKEY
Sweetly sings the donkey, at the break of day.
If you do not feed him, this is what he'll say:
"Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw hee-haw."

UP, UP IN THE SKY 
Up, up in the sky, the little birds fly,
Down, down in the nest, the little birds rest.
With a wing on their left, and a wing on their right
The dear little birdies sleep all through the night.

Shhhh! They're sleeping!

Up, up comes the sun, the dew floats away.
Good morning, good morning, the little birds say.
How bright are the flowers, how green are the woods,
Our heavenly Father, how kind and how good.

HIGH SILK HAT 
One day, as I was riding on the subway,
My high silk hat, my high silk hat,
I laid it down upon the seat beside me,
My high silk hat, my high silk hat.
A big-a fat-a lady sat upon it,
My high silk hat, My high silk hat.
A big-a fat-a lady sat upon it,
My high silk hat, My high silk hat.
Christopho Columbo, whattya you think of that?
A big-a fat-a lady she sat upon my hat,
My hat she broke, it was no joke,
My hat she broke, it was no joke!
Christopho Columbo, now whattya you think of that?
My hat!

SWIMMING SONG
Once I went in swimming where there were no women
Down by the deep blue sea.
Spying no-one there, I hung my underwear
Upon a willow tree.
Dove into the water, just like Pharaoh's daughter
Dove into the Nile.
Someone saw me there, and stole my underwear,
And left me with a smile.
You cant' get home with a smile,
You can't get home with a smile,
You can't get home with a smile,
You can't get home at all.

THE HAPPY WANDERER
I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on by back.

Refrain:Val-de-ri---Val-de-ra,
Val-de-ri---Val-de-ra- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-de-ri---Val-de-ra,
My knapsack on my back.

I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun.
So joyously it calls to me,
'Come join my happy song'

I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From ev'ry greenwood tree.

High overhead the skylarks wing,
They never rest at home,
But just like me, they love to sing,
As o'er the world we roam.

- refrain -

Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing
Beneath God's clear blue sky!

THE HARVARD STUDENT
From three days of fishing, off the coast of Maine,
From the town of Bethlehem comes the Pullman train.
Hair parted in the middle, a small mustache as well,
See the Harvard student, say, doesn't he look swell.

Oh, empty seat beside him, no-one at his side.
To an Eastern village the Pullman train doth ride.
Enter aged couple, take the hind row seat.
Enter pretty maiden, so dainty and petite.

Blushing, she falters, sees her seat engaged.
Sees the aged couple so happily arranged.
Student sympathetic; see her ticket through,
Thinks of the coming tunnel, and knows what he will do.

Oh, on they ride in silence, watching cinders fly.
'Til the Harvard student gets one in his eye.
Maiden sympathetic, turns herself about:
"Mister, can I help you to get that cinder out?"

She puts her arms around him, he fells her gentle touch.
"Mister, do I hurt you so very very much?"
SIS! BOOM! BANG! Into the tunnel they ride,
Into the glorious darkness, the Pullman train doth ride.

Oh, oomp da da da da da, oomp da da da da,
(repeat three times)

Oh, out of the tunnel, comes the Pullman train.
Student's hair is rumpled, slightly out of range.
Maiden's hair is rumpled, and her dress as well,
And-that-tiny-hairpin-in-his-mustache-sure-looks-swell!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

OH, SEE THEM DUCKS
Oh, see them ducks on the bay.
See how they gambol and play.
Oh, see them ducks!
See how they teeter totter,
Out there upon the water!
Don't you think they hadn't oughter?
On the Sabbath Day!  O-o-o-o-o-oh! Ducks!

GOLLY AIN'T THAT QUEER
We have a cow down on our farm,
Golly, ain't that queer!

One day she sat in a froze stream
And froze her tail like an iron beam,
And now she gives us all ice cream,
Golly, ain't that queer?

THE CANNIBAL KING
The cannibal King with the big brass ring
Fell in love with the dusky ma-a-aid,
And ever'y night in the pale moonlight,
Across the bay he ca-a-ame.

He hugged and he kissed his pretty little miss,
In the shade of the bamboo tre-e-e,
And ev'ry night in the pale moonlight,
It sounded like this to me-e-e:
Aroom (kiss, kiss), aroom (kiss, kiss)
Aroom bah de ah de ay, ay, ay
Aroom (kiss, kiss), aroom (kiss, kiss)
Aroom bah de ah de ay, ay, ay
We'll build a bungalow, big enough for two,
Big enough for two, Mah honey, big enough for two.
And when we're married, happy we'll be,
Under the bamboo, Under the bamboo tree.

Boom-boom. Boom-boom.
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom.

If you'll be m-i-n-e, mine, I'll be t-h-i-n-e, thine
And I'll l-o-v-e love you all the t-i-m-e time.
You are the b-e-s-t best of all the r-e-s-t rest,
And I'll l-o-v-e love you all the t-i-m-e, time.

Rack-'em up, sack-'em up, any old ti-ime,
Rake-'em down, shake-'em down, any old ti-ime;
Match in a gas tank: Boom boom. Without a sh-irt.

Goodbye, my Coney Island Baby,
Goodbye, my Coney Island Ro-o-ose.
(repeat)

I used to go to school with Maggie Murphy,
And Maggie Murphy went to school with me.
I tried to steal a kiss from Maggie Murphy,
But son-of-a-gun she stole a kiss from me.

Goodbye, my Coney Island Baby,
Goodbye, my Coney Island Ro-o-ose.

Goodbye, my Coney Island Rose!

I am an Anglican, I am P.E.,
Not a High Church, nor a Low church,
But a Protestant Episcopal and free.
Not a Presby, nor a Lutheran,
Nor a Baptist, white with foam,
I am an Anglican, one step from Rome,
I am an Anglican, "via media", boom boom.

I am a counselor, at E.N.C.,
Not a doctor, nor a lawyer,
But sunburned, tired counselors are we.
You will find us on the A.T.
By the river, up a tree!
I am a counselor, happy and free;
I am a counselor at E.N.C.

We are the campers, we are the greatest!
Not an O.D., but a K.P.
But a camper through and through, that are we.

Not a teacher, but a learner,

We are the campers at E.N.C.

God Bless America, land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with the light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam,
God Bless America, my home sweet home!
God Bless America! My home sweet home!

God bless my underwear, my only pair.
Stand beside it and guide it,
Thru the day and in-to the night air.
From the washer to the dryer,
To the clothesline, back to me.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.

Can you tie 'em in a knot? Can you tie 'em in a bow?
Can you throw 'em over your shoulder Like a Continental Soldier?

KING GEORGE
King George he had a date,
He stayed out very late,
He was the King.
Queen Mary paced the floor,
King George came home at four,
She met him at the door,
God save the King.

BULLFROG
Ung, ung, went the little bullfrog one day,
Ung, ung, went the little bullfrog.
Ung, ung, went the little bullfrog one day,
And his eyes went ung, ung, ung.

WE ARE THE REDMEN 
We are the Redmen tall and straight,
With our feathers and war paint.
Pow wow, pow wow,
We're the men of the old dunkow.
We are the redmen, feather-in-our-head men,
Down among the dead men, ugh! Pow wow.

We can fight with sticks and stones,
Bows and arrows, bricks and bones.
Pow wow (etc.)

We come home from fighting wars,
Greeted by our long-nosed squaws.
Pow-wow (etc.)

I'M WILD ABOUT HORNS
I'm wild about horns on automobiles
That go: "Ah-ah-ah-ah ah,ah,ah!
I used to have a friend,
He had a model A.
And ev'ry time he honked his horn,
It sound'd like this, hey hey:
I'm a nut! I'm a pest!
But the thing I like the best:
I'm wild about horns on automobiles
That go: "Ah-ah-ah-ah ah,ah,ah!

JUNIOR BIRDMAN 
Up in the air Junior Birdman-
Up in the air upside down.
Up in the air Junior Birdman-
With your noses to the ground.

And when you hear the grand announcement
That your wings are made of tin
Then you will know that Junior Birdman
Has sent his boxtops in.

What does it take?
It takes 5 boxtops... 4 bottle bottoms...
3 wrappers... 2 coupons... and 1 thin dime!

HAPPINESS
Happiness is kicking a football
Going canoeing, raising the flag.

Happiness is learning some new songs,
Making your bunk up without any sag.

Happiness is earning a green tag at end of Camp,
And Happiness is never feeling damp.

Happiness is having your Store Card,
Candy and ice cream two times a day.

Happiness is swimming at night time,
Getting a feather on Indian Day.

Happiness is singing at closing when day is through,
And Happiness is friends who sing with you.

Happiness is morning and evening,
Daytime and night time, too.

For happiness is everything and everyone you love
At Eagle's Nest!

Oh, the cow kicked Nellie in the belly in the barn.

SWIMMING POOL
Swimming, swimming,
In a swimming pool.
When days are hot,
When days are cold,
In a swimming pool.
Breast Stroke,
Side Stroke,
Fancy diving, too.
Oh don't you wish that you could have
Nothing else to do
BUT!

STAND, OLD IVY
When you fall on the ball
And you're down there at the bottom of the heap
Where the mud is oh so cruddy muddy deep,
Don't forget boys, they call us
Groundhogs (chipmunks)
Groundhogs (chipmunks)

Stand, Old Ivy. Stand firm and strong.
Grand Old Ivy, Hear the cheering throng (rah rah rah)
Stand, Old Ivy And never yield
Rip! Rip! Rip those Chipmunks Off the field!

TITANIC
Oh they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue,
And the people said that the water would never get through,
But the Lord's mighty hand said the ship would never land,
It was sad when the great ship when down, glub glub.

refrain:
It was sad, it was sad,
It was sad when the great ship when down to the bottom of the sea
(Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives) or
(Uncles and aunts, little children wet their pants),
It was sad when the great ship went down, glub glub.

Oh the captain stood on deck, with a tear in his eye,
For the rich refused to coordinate with the poor.
So they put 'em down below, where they'd be the first to go,
It was sad when the great ship went down, glub glub.
(refrain)

Oh the band stood on deck, playing "Nearer My God to Thee",
And the ice did crack, but the ship did never go free,
And the little children cried as the water rushed inside,
It was sad when the great ship went down, glub glub.
(refain)

O the moral of this story, as you can plainly see,
Is to wear your life preserver when you go out to sea.
The Titanic never made it across the raging sea,
It was sad when the great ship went down glub glub.
(refrain)

GIRLS' STAFF SONG - FOURTH SESSION 1971
Oh, we're the Eagle's Nest Girls' staff, We're here to say hello to you.
We love all campers and we love all staff, we try to help you and make you laugh.

Oh, here's to Janet, she's our girls' chief, Kath, Barb, Jean, and Laura Lee.
Debby, Jane, she is a pain, Nancy, Lisa, Diane, and now we will do our dance for you.

- - DANCE - -

Ho, here's the rest of lovely girls' staff, who are so brave and beautiful.
Debbie, JoAnne, Jenifer, Sue Schultze and Roberta.

Home, Home at the camp, where the greenies are smelly and damp,
Where the mornings are cold and you never grow old and we always use candles not lamps!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

HEY LOOK US OVER
Hey look us over. We're from Boys' Camp.
The cabins are leaky, so we're a little damp.
But don't close your eyes, folks. Don't hide your heads.
We figure that when you're at Eagle's Nest you're better off than dead.
So we'll be up in the morning at reveille.
Hustle to breakfast so very cheerfully.
Now there's Dan and Bob and Gil and Wally,
Charles and Reinnie too.
But there's more, so here's another verse for you.

Hello to Girls' Camp, whom we adore.
Hello to Kitchen Staff in the Palais D'or.
Hello to Ranger, hello to Bob,
Hello to the nurse because she's always on the job.
And mostly hello to Boys' Camp. Here you will stay.
Here's the rest of Male Staff who won't be far away.
Cause there's Chris and Bill and Barry, Frankie,
Bill and Beetle too.
And we hope camp's fun for you.
A-poop-e-doo ch-ch doo doo.
Without a shirt.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

WHERE HAVE ALL THE GREENIES GONE
Where have all the greenies gone? No more flushing.
Where have all the greenies gone? Full to the rim.
Where have all the greenies gone? Clogged by campers, every one.
When will they ever flush? When will they ever flush.

Where have all the campers gone? Not in their cabins.
Where have all the campers gone? Not on K.P.
Where have all the campers gone? Killed by counselors, every one.
Will they ever return? Oh when will they return?

Where have Ron and Peter gone? Not in the Crow's Nest.
Where have Bill, Mark and Tony gone? Not on O.D.
Where have Bob, Bill and Davids gone? Gone on days off, every one.
But if they all return Then we'll be here to stay.

Where have all the days off gone? Too short passing.
Where have all the days off gone? No time to play.
Where have all the days off gone? Stopped by Ranger, every one.
What's it that bugs him so? The way they come and go.

Where has the Ranger gone? Not in the office.
Where has the Ranger gone? Not in his shack.
Where has the Ranger gone? Unclogging greenies, every one.
He does it every day. Now Camp is all OK.

IT TAKES A COUNSELOR
It takes a counselor, All rugged and red,
To joyously clean out the bugs from the beds,
And it takes a counselor, With long golden lashes,
And soft dresden fingers, for dumping the trashes.
Yes, it takes a counselor. A husky counselor.
To bring you the good things in camp!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

YOU'RE A GOOD CAMP, BEAGLE'S NEST
You're a good camp, Beagle's Nest,
You're the best on the face of the earth.
You have karate, athletics and a lot of traditions
That are very rare indeed!
You're a good camp, Beagle's Nest
And we know you will go very far,
Yes, It's hard to believe, almost frightening to conceive,
What a good camp you are.

You are kind to all the counselors
And all the kitchen staff.
With a heart of gold, we believe what we're told,
Even when we're trying not to laugh.
We have our daily catastrophes but we face them through the day.
We're thoughtful, brave and beautiful,
And we also have some faults,
But for the moment let's just say

That you're a good camp, Beagle's Nest,
You're the best, and the best is on top,
And with us on your staff we can always have a laugh,
So come on Tony Brown, hide your frown --
Join the best, Tony Brown, at Beagle's Nest!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

HELLO, TONY
Hello, Tony, Well Hello, Tony,
It's so nice to have you here at Beagle's Nest.
You're lookin' great, Tony,
Tho you're late, Tony
And the pool's all ready for the swimming test.
You've had a long trip, Tony,
Take your dip, Tony
We've been waiting for you all the live long day, so --
Get in the pool, that'll
Show us your doggy paddle
And we'll see just how you'll earn your pay!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM, DEAR
I don't know how to swim, Dear,
Though I know it sounds grim, Dear,
I'm just a fool,
The swimming school
Said they'd never see a real hopeless case
Until I showed my face.
I'll never do a dive, Dear,
Not while I am alive, Dear,
My dives are flops,
They're belly wops,
And I swim like a stone,
There's lead in my bones,
And soon they all will know......it scares me so.

My side-strokes only a joke,
I'm just no good in free-style
It really would make you smile
And my butterfly....oh, oh-oh my!
What's it all about??

I cannot even float, Dear,
I belong in a boat, Dear,
It's pretty bad, I'm really sad,
For at Eagle's Nest the pool's the thing,
And I came here to sing.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
 
I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO SWIM, DEAR
I'll teach you how to swim, dear.
We will get you in trim, dear.
Ah, Tony Brown, no need to frown,
For I do intend to raise your hopes.
I'll show you all the ropes.

I'll demonstrate some dives, Dear.
Only swimmers can thrive here.
It's really true. The thing to do
Is to learn to be a real swimming star,
And that way you'll go far.
It's not too hard.

We will do the back
Till your worries go slack
Together we'll do a swan
Till your worries are gone.
Oh oh oh my, oh me oh my
That's what it's all about.

Don't you think it's rather lovely
We should be in this together?
Ah, Tony dear, I'm glad you're here
And from now on we a Swim Team will be.
And that's alright with me.
That's fine with me.
(Duet: That's fine with me.)
