3 Little ducks

Three little ducks that I once knew
Fat ones skinny one just like you
But the one little duck with the feather on its back
He ruled the others with a quack quack quack

Down by the river they would go
Wibby wobble wibble wobby to and fro
But the one little duck with the feather on its back
He ruled the others with a quack quack quack

Viva L'Amour

Let every good fellow now join in a song.
Viva la compagnie!
Success to each other and pass it along.
Viva la compagnie!

Viva la, viva la, viva l'amour
Viva la, viva la, viva l'amour
Viva l'amour, viva l'amour,
Viva la compagnie.

A friend on the left and a friend on the right.
Viva la compagnie!
In love and good fellowship, let us unite.
Viva la compagnie!

Sunshine

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.

Silvery Moon

By the light of the silvery moon
I want to spoon
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June
Your silv'ry beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon
By the silvery moon

Scouting Light

This is a little Scouting light, I'm gonna let it shine.
This is a little Scouting light, I'm gonna let it shine.
This is a little Scouting light, I'm gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.

Rock my soul

Rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
Rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
Rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
Oh, rock my soul

So high I can't get over it
So low I can't get under it
So wide I can't get round it
Oh, rock my soul

Rock my soul
Rock my soul
Rock my soul
Oh, rock my soul

Railroad

I've been workin' on the railroad,
All the live long day.
I've been workin' on the railroad,
Just to pass the time away.
Don't you hear the whistle blowing?
Rise up so early in the morn.
Don't you hear the captain shouting
"Dinah, blow your horn?"

Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,

Pearly Shells

Pearly Shell
By The Ocean
Shining In The Sunlight
Covering The Shore
When I See You
My Heart Tells Me I LOVE YOU
More Than All The Little Pearly Shells
More Than All The Little Pearly Shells

Peace like a river

I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul

I-I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul

Pass it on

Verse 1
It only takes a spark, to get a fire going.
And soon all those around, can warm up it it's glowing.

Chorus:
That's how it is with God's love,
once you've experienced it,
it's fresh like spring,
you want to sing,
you want to pass it on.

Verse 2
What a wondrous time is Spring
When all the trees are budding.
The birds begin to sing,
the flowers start their blooming.

Pack up your troubles

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag,

And smile, smile, smile,
While there’s a lucifer to light your fag,
(OR
Smile boys that's the style.
What's the use of worrying,
It never was worth while, so,
So pack up your troubles in your old kit bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
