ABOVE THE PLAIN

 

Above the plain

Of gold and green

A young boy’s head

Is plainly seen.

A huya, huya, huyaya

Swiftly flowing river.

A huya, huya, huyaya

Swiftly flowing river.

 

 

 

AFTER DARK

 

After dark, when everyting is still

And the moon comes creeping o’er the hill

We’ll be waiting, waiting there for you

Because we love you true

Oh, yes!  Indeed we do

My honey, come out tonight, beneath the everglades.

Can’t you hear the campers serenade?

You’re the queen of all the lovely maids.

You’re my ever lovin’ lovin’

My everlovin’ lovin’, my everlovin’ Pokagon gal

Boom, boom, boom.

 

   

ALICE

 

Alice, where are you going?

Upstairs to take a bath.

Alice, with legs like toothpicks

And a neck like a giraffe.

Alice, into the bathtub,

Pulled out the plug and then,

Oh my goodness!  Oh my soul!

There goes Alice down the hole!

Alice, where are you going?

Glub, glub, glub.

 

   

ALL NIGHT, ALL DAY

 

All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me my Lord

All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me.

Now I lay me down to sleep, angels watchin’ over me my Lord

Pray the Lord my soul to take, angels watchin’ over me.

All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me my Lord

All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me.

If I live another day, angels watchin’ over me my Lord

Pray the Lord to guide my way, angels watchin’ over me.

All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me my Lord

All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me.

Day is dyin’ in the west, angels watchin’ over me my Lord

Sleep my child and take your rest, angels watchin’ over me.

All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me my Lord

All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me.

 

   

AMERICA

 

America, America, shall we tell you how we feel?

You have given us your blessings, we love you so.

 

   

ANNE’S SONG

       By Anne Messenger 

 

Once there were sunlit waves on the sand.

Once there were campers to hold by the hand.

Once there was laughter and song in the air.

Once there were white sails that billowed without care.

Then there were friends who shared smiles and tears.

 

These are the memories we see in the glow

Of firelight’s embers that now are burning low.

Memories of friendships and summer now through.

Memories that linger remind us of you.

These thoughts remain as now we must part.

 

   

ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,

Birds in the wilderness, birds in the wilderness.

Here we sit like birds in the wilderness

Waiting for announcements.

Waiting for announcements, waiting for announcements.

Here we sit like birds in the wilderness

Waiting for announcements.

Announcements, announcements, announcements!

(Name) has another one, ‘nother one, ‘nother one.

(Name) has another one, she has ‘em all the time.

Announcements, announcements, announcements!

A terrible death to die, a terrible death to die,

A terrible death to be talked to death, a terrible death to die.

Announcements, announcements, announcements!

 

 

 

APPLES AND BANANAS

 

I like to eat, I like to eat,

I like to eat, eat apples and bananas.

I like to eat, I like to eat,

I like to eat, eat apples and bananas.

(Sing again, replacing the vowels with a,e,i,o, and u.)

 

 

 

 
              
ASHGROVE

Down yonder green valley, where streamlets meander

Where twilight is fading, I pensively roam.

For at the bright noontide, in solitude wander

Amidst the deep shade of the lonely ashgrove.

 

‘Tis there where the blackbird is cheerfully singing,

Each warbler enchants with his notes from above.

Ah then little think I of sorrow or sadness

The ashgrove, the ashgrove spells beauty to me.
