1 STAR TREKKIN'

This song tells a story, so it's very important that the characters are ALL represented in this order. Mister Sulu is at the helm, Lt. Uhura monitoring the sensors, Spock is turned to for analysis, Dr. McCoy is asked "Is it Radiation, Dr. McCoy? we then turn to the engineer, Mr. Scott for more power, and finally Captain James Tiberius Kirk is forced to lead a landing party. Before beginning, the audience is divided into six sections, one for each character.

Chorus:
Star Trekkin' across the universe, on the Starship Enterprise, under Captain Kirk. Star Trekkin' across the Universe, Always goin' forward, 'cause we can't find reverse!

Mr. Sulu: The Enterprise is slowing down, slowing down, slowing down. The Enterprise is slowing down, slowing down, Jim!

Lt. Uhura: There's Klingons on the starboard bow, Starboard bow, starboard bow.There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim!

Mr. Spock: It's life Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it. It's life Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.

Dr. McCoy: It's worse than that, he's dead,Jim. dead, Jim, dead Jim. It's worse than that, he's dead,Jim. Dead, Jim, dead!

Engineer Scott: (In your best Scottish accent) You cannot change the laws of physics, laws of physics,laws of physics. You cannot change the laws of physics, laws of physics, Jim!

Captain Kirk: We Come in Peace (shoot to kill!) Shoot to kill, shoot to kill. We Come in Peace (shoot to kill!) Shoot to kill, men!

2 BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM

(To the tune of George Root's Battle Cry of Freedom )

Mary had a little lamb, It's fleece was white as snow,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.

Chorus: Hurrah for Mary, hurrah for the lamb,
Hurrah for the teacher,
who didn't give a particle,
If all the lambs in Oregon came marching into school,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.

Chorus

Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was black as soot,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.
And everywhere that Mary went, it's sooty foot he put,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.

Chorus

Mary had a little lamb, she put it on the shelf,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.
And every time it wagged it's tail it spanked it's little self,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.

Chorus

Mary had a little lamb, she tied it in the closet,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.
And every time it turned around, it left a little deposit,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.

Chorus

Mary had a little lamb, she tied it to the heater,Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.And every time it turned around,it burned it's little seater, Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.

Chorus

Mary had a little lamb, you've heard this tale before,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.
But have you heard she passed the plate and had a little more,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.

Chorus

SLOWER:
Mary had a little lamb, but now the lamb is dead,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.
Poor Mary takes the lamb to school,between two hunks of bread,
Shouting out the battle cry of freedom.

Chorus

3 MY BOY SCOUT HAT

To the tune of "Finiculee Finicula"

One day I took with me upon the subway,
My Boy Scout Hat, My Boy Scout Hat.
I laid it down upon the seat beside me,
My Boy Scout Hat, My Boy Scout Hat.
A big Scoutmaster came and sat upon it.
My Boy Scout hat, he squashed it flat!
A big Scoutmaster came and sat upon it.
My Boy Scout Hat, he squashed it flat!

Christopher Columbus! Now what do ya' think of that?
A big Scoutmaster sat upon my hat.
My hat he broke, and that's no joke!
My hat he broke and that's no joke!
Cristopher Columbus! Now what do ya' think of that?

As we go rolling rolling home.

I've got tupence to spend and tupence to lend,
and no pence to send home to my wife, poor wife.

5 HAPPY WANDERER

I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,My nap-sack on my back.

Valderee, valderah, Valderee, valderah ha ha ha ha ha.
Valderee, valderah, my nap-sack on my back.

I love to wander by the brook that dances in the sun.
So joyously it calls to me, Come join my happy fun.

Valderee, valderah, Valderee, valderah ha ha ha ha ha.
Valderee, valderah, my nap-sack on my back.

I wave my hat to all I meet, and they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet, from every greenwood tree.

Valderee, valderah, Valderee, valderah ha ha ha ha ha.
Valderee, valderah, my nap-sack on my back.

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

Valderee, valderah, Valderee, valderah ha ha ha ha ha.
Valderee, valderah, my nap-sack on my back.

10 MULES

(Tune: "Auld Lang Syne")

On mules we find two legs behind
And two we find before;
We stand behind before we find
What the two behind be for.

When we're behind the two behind
We find what these be for;
So stand before the two behind,
And behind the two before.

11 OH I WISH I WERE

(Tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It")

Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap.
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap.
I would slippy and I'd slidey, Over everybody's hidey.
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap.

Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud.
Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud.
I would ooey and I'd gooey, Under everybody's shoey.
Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud.

Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop.
Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop.
I'd go down with a slurp, and come up with a burp.
Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop.

Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root.
Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root.
I would sit upon the trail, And knock everyone on his tail.
Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root.

Oh, I wish I were a little mosquito.
Oh, I wish I were a little mosquito.
I'd buzzy and I'd bitey, Under everybody's nighty.
Oh, I wish I were a little mosquito.

Oh, I wish I were a little bitty orange.
Oh, I wish I were a little bitty orange.
I'd go squirty, squirty, squirty, Over everybody's shirty.

12 BEAR IN TENNIS SHOES

The other day, (group repeats)
I met a bear, (group repeats) I
n tennis shoes, (group repeats)
A dandy pair. (group repeats)
(All) The other day I met a bear,
In tennis shoes a dandy pair.

Continue in a similar manner with:
He said to me, "Why don't you run,
Because you ain't got any gun."

And so I ran, away from there,
But right behind me, was that bear.

Ahead of me there was a tree,
A big, big, tree, Oh glory be!

The nearest branch was ten feet up,
I'd have to jump and trust my luck.

And so I jumped, into the air,
But I missed that branch, on the way up there.

Now don't you fret, now don't you frown,
'Cause I caught that branch, on the way back down.

The moral of, this story is
Don't talk to bears, in tennis shoes.

13 SIPPIN' CIDER

Was sippin' cider through a straw.

Continue in a similar manner:

I said to her, "What ya doin' that fer,
A sippin' ci-der through a straw."

She said to me, It's nice to be,
A sippin ci-der through a straw

First cheek to cheek, then jaw to jaw,
We both sipped ci-der through a straw.

Every now and then, that straw would slip,
And I sipped ci-der through her lips.

That's how I got my mother in law,
By sippin' ci-der through a straw.

Now forty-nine kids, all call mePa,
From sippin' ci-der through a straw.

The moral of
This sad, sad, joke,
Is don't sip ci-
der sip a Coke.

14 TRUSTY TOMMY

Tune: "Yankee Doodle"

TRUSTY Tommy was a Scout,
LOYAL to his mother,
HELPFUL to the folks about, and
FRIENDLY to his brother.

COURTEOUS to the girls he knew,
KIND unto his rabbit,
OBEDIENT to his father too, and
CHEERFUL in his habits.

THRIFTY saving for a need,
BRAVE, but not a faker,
CLEAN in thought and word and deed,
and REVERENT to his Maker.

15 THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS

1) In 1814 we took a little trip,
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
And we met the bloody British near the town of New Orleans.

Chorus:
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'.
There wasn't nigh as many as they was a while ago.
We fired once more and they begin to runnin',
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

2) We looked down the river and we see'd the British come...
There must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring;
While we stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

Chorus

3) Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise.
If we didn't fire a musket till we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire till we see'd their faces well;
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em--Well.

Chorus

4) They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles,
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em 'em,
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

5) We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down,
So we grabbed an alligator and we poured an other round.
We put the ball between his teeth and powdered his behind,
And when we touched the powder off the 'gator lost his mind.

Chorus

6) They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles,
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em,
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

16 NOAH

The Lord told Noah' there's gonna be a floody, floody.
The Lord told Noah' there's gonna be a floody, floody.
Get those animals out of the muddy, muddy,
Children of the Lord.

Chorus:
Oh rise and shout and give God your glory, glory.
Oh rise and shout and give God your glory, glory.
Oh rise and shout and give God your glory, glory.
Children of the lord.

So Noah, he built him, he built him an arky, arky.
So Noah, he built him, he built him an arky, arky.
Built it out of Hickory barky, barky.
Children of the Lord.

Chorus

The animals they came on, they came on by twosies, twosies.
The animals they came on, they came on by twosies, twosies.
Elephants and kangaroosies, roosies.
Children of the Lord.

Chorus

It rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies.
It rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies.
All most drove those animals crazy, crazy.
Children of the Lord.

Chorus

The sun came out and dried up the landy, landy.
The sun came out and dried up the landy, landy.
Everything was fine and dandy, dandy
Children of the Lord.

Chorus
