Description
These camp songs are some of our personal favorites that we’ve tested over time – others are new favorites that have been submitted that we tried at camp this summer.
Note: if you don’t know the beat or tune, make it up… As long as it songs good to you, it’s perfect! We think that the way you sing your camp songs creates your camp’s identity. If you have ever visited another camp, you’ll notice right away that all of their songs sound “funny…”

YOUR MAMA DON’T WEAR NO SOCKS (a classic Boy Scouts Camp Song)
Leader: Your mama don’t wear no socks!
Campers: A ding dong!!
Leader: I saw ’em when she took ’em off!
Campers: A ding dong!!
Leader: She threw them in the tree!
Campers: A ding dong!!
Leader: Now the dog refuses to pee!
Campers: A ding dong, dong, dong, dong. A ding dong, dong, dong, dong – A DING DONG!

She put them in the bed, now dad sleeps in the shed
She put them in the fridge, now we all live under a bridge
She threw them in the sky, now Superman refuses to fly
She threw them in the air, now Superman is on medicare
She threw them over the fence, haven’t seen the neighbor since
THREE SHARP TOOTH BUZZARDS
3 (hold up 3 fingers) sharp tooth (fingers curled up by mouth as teeth) buzzards (hunch shoulders, look mean)

WhayÛ_ (like a baby)
2 sharp tooth buzzards (same actions as above, but hold up 2 fingers)…
