Troop 805 Songbook
Tom the Toad
Oh, Tom the Toad, oh Tom the Toad
Why are you lying in the road?
Oh Tom the Toad, oh Tom the Toad
Why are you lying in the road?
You did not see the car ahead
And on your head the tire treads
Oh Tom the Toad, oh Tom the Toad
Why are you lying on the road?
Oh, Matt the Rat, oh Matt the Rat
Why did you tease my big old cat?
Oh, Matt the Rat, oh Matt the Rat
Why did you tease my big old cat?
You used to be so brown and thin
And now you are inside of him
Oh Matt the Rat, oh Matt the Rat
Why did you tease my big old cat?
Tom the Toad
Oh, Jake the Snake, oh Jake the Snake
How did you find my garden rake?
Oh, Jake the Snake, oh Jake the Snake
How did you find my garden rake?
You used to be so long and shed
And now you are so short and dead
Oh, Jake the Snake, oh Jake the Snake
How did you find my garden rake?
Scout Vespers
Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away,
Silently each Scout should ask,
Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
Everything to be prepared?
One Fat Hen
One fat hen &
A couple of ducks
Three baby brown bears
Four rapid running hears
Five fat fidgety felines
Six simple Simons selling salt in Siam
Seven salty sailors sailing the seven seas
Eight elongated elephants elevating on an escalator
Nine nearly nosed nematodes nibbling on nine nearly nasty nosed nimrods
And ten two ton, two tone tan transcontinental trucks, with tandem trailers, traveling from Tallahassee, Tennessee to Tyler, Texas on twenty-two terrible tires and two tanks of Texaco TruTest on Tuesday, the twenty-second!
Columbo
In fourteen hundred and ninety-two,
A sailor from New Dele,
Was walking through the streets of Spain,
Selling hot tamales.
He walked right up to the Queen of Spain,
And asked for ships and cargo.
He said he’d be a son-of-a-gun if he didn’t
Bring back Chicago.
He said the world was roundo,
He said it could be foundo.
A hypothetical calculating son-of-a-gun
Columbo.
He said the world was roundo,
He said it could be foundo.
A hypothetical calculating son-of-a-gun
Columbo.
Columbo
The first mate, the first mate,
His rope it was a biggen
He threw it up around the mast,
And used the rest for riggen.
The second mate, the second mate,
His rope it was a short one,
He walked right up to the general store,
And bought himself a bigger one.
He said the world was roundo,
He said it could be foundo.
A hypothetical calculating son-of-a-gun
Columbo.
He said the world was roundo,
He said it could be foundo.
A hypothetical calculating son-of-a-gun
Columbo.
Columbo
The ship’s cook, the ship’s cook,
Was doing a little cookin’.
He slipped a rat into the pot,
When no one else was lookin’.
He said the world was roundo,
He said it could be foundo.
A hypothetical calculating son-of-a-gun
Columbo.
Red Wagon
You can’t ride my red wagon
The axle’s broken & the wheels are draggin’.
2nd verse, same as the first,
A little bit louder & a little bit worse.
You can’t ride my red wagon
The axle’s broken & the wheels are draggin’.
3rd verse, same as the first,
A little bit louder & a little bit worse.
You can’t ride my red wagon
The axle’s broken & the wheels are draggin’.
Last verse, same as the first,
A little bit louder & a little bit worse.
You can’t ride my red wagon
The axle’s broken & the wheels are draggin’.

The Grand Old Duke of York
The Grand Old Duke of York, he had ten thousand men.
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched 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 nor down.
Faster!
Wisconsin Milk
Don’t gimme no pop, no pop,
Don’t gimme no tea, no tea,
Just gimme that milk,
Moo moo moo moo
Wisconsin milk
Moo moo moo moo
LOUDER!
