Sippin' Cider
The prettiest girl (repeat)
I ever saw (repeat)
Was sippin' ci- (repeat)
Der through a straw (repeat)
The prettiest girl I ever saw
Was sippin cider through a straw.
(Continue in the same manor)
I said to her
What you doing that for,
A sippin ci-
Der through a straw?
Then cheek to cheek
And jaw to jaw
We both sipped ci-
Der through a straw.
And now an then
That straw would straw
And we'd sip ci-
Der lip to lip
That's how I got
My mother in law
And four Kids
Who call me Pa?
The moral of
This story is
Don't drink your ci-
Der drink Coca-Cola!

Seasonal
Songs
Once in Derek Joyce's Scout
Group
(Tune: Once in Royal David's City)
Once in Derek
Joyce's Group
Stood a Scout hut dark
and dread
There a Cub Pack had a party
And they charged a pound a head
There was beef and pork and ham
There was jelly, cake and Spam
(Chorus:)
Scoring's great in Silver end
But the leaders drive us round the bend
Still, perhaps they've had enough
Of Cubs and Camp and all that stuff.
No one knows just how it started,
Someone slipped or someone fell
Someone threw a week old rock bun
Someone threw blancmange as well
Poor Akela looked in fear
With rice pudding in his ear,
(Chorus:)
Very soon the police were summoned,
To sort out the awful mess
P. C. Halton charged in
bravely,
But he slipped upon some cress
All the cubs were sent to bed,
This year it's McDonalds instead.
(Chorus:)
From: Tim Pomfret, 1st Silver
End (Challenger) Cub Pack, Essex, 1997
The Twelve Days of Camping
(Tune: 12 Days of Christmas)
On the first day of camping
Akela gave to us,
A scrub brush for the latrine.

2 dirty Dixie's
3 logs to chop
4 knives and forks
5 patrol tents
6 leaky buckets
7 smelly socks
8 rusty saws

12 tired cubs
