  This little light of mine
          This little Guiding light of mine

           Take my little light round the world
           I'm gonna let it shine (3x)		(Chorus)
           
  Someone's in the kitchen
          Someone's in the kitchen with Dina
          Someone's in the kitchen I know, I know

  Dorcas
          Dorcas are some marmalade and Dorcas ate some jam
          Dorcas ate some bread & cheese and Dorcas ate some ham
          Dorcas had some gingerbeer and then some lemonade
          Then Dorcas wondered why Dorcas felt so queer.

          Whoops came the marmalade & whoops came the jam
          Whoops came the bread & cheese and whoops came the ham
          Whoops came the gingerbeer and then the lemonade
          Then Dorcas knew why Dorcas felt so queer.

  Acorn
          I'm a little acorn brown
          Lying on the hard hard ground
          Everybody steps on me
          That is why I'm cracked you see
          (Chorus) I'm a nut (click tongue & knock head twice) (2x)
                        I'm a nut (click), nut (click), nut, nut nut.

          Called myself on the telephone
          Just to see if I was home
          With myself I made a date
          Got to be ready by half past eight	(Chorus)

          Took myself to the movies grand
          Just to hold my little old hand
          Put my arm around my waist
          Squeezed too hard and slapped my face(Chorus)

          I'm a little piece of tin
          Nobody knows where I have been
          Got four wheels and a running board
          I'm a Ford, yes I'm a Ford
          Honk honk, rattle rattle rattle, crash, beep beep (3x)

          crash = palm on forehead; beep = push nose 

  Kookaburra
          Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree
          Merry merry king of the bush is he
          Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
          Gay your life must be

          Kokkaburra sits on the old gum tree
          Eating all the gumdrops he can see
          Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra
          Leave some gums for me

          Kokkaburra sits on the old gum tree
          Counting all the monkeys he can see
          Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra
          That's no monkey, that's ME!!!

  Softly falls the light of day(Tune: Oh Christmas Tree)
          Softly falls the light of day
          As our campfire fades away
          Silently each Guide should ask
          Have I done my daily task?
          Have I kept my honour bright?
          Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
          Have I done and have I dared
          Everything to Be Prepared?

  Cottage in a Wood
          In a cottage in a wood
          A little man at the window sttod
          Saw a rabbit running sore
          Knocking at his door
          "Help me, help me, help" he said
          "Ere the hunter shoot me dead"
          "Little rabbit come inside,
          Safe with me abide"

  Way up in the Sky
          Way up in the sky
          The big birdies fly
          While down in the nest
          The little birds rest
          Shhhh.... they're sleeping
          The bright sun comes up
          The dew goes away
          "Good morning, good morning"
          The little birds say
