Scratch Scratch me back,
Scratch Scratch me back,
It really is a fact,
The more you scratch,
The less you itch.

Fish n Chips & vinegar...vinegar...vinegar
Fish n Chips & vinegar
Pepper, pepper, pepper, pepper, salt!
Don't throw your trash in my back yard
My back yard, my back yard
Don't throw your trash in my back yard,
My back yard's full!

Have you ever ever ever,
In your long-legged life,
Seen a long-legged Sailor,
With a ling-legged Wife?
No I've never ever ever,
In my long-legged life,
Seen a long-legged Sailor,
With a long-legged Wife!

At Camp Amy Molson we also sang this Tarzan, Jane and Cheetah (sp?) song... Taa-a-arzan! (Then the others would repeat "Taa-a-ar-zan!" "Swinging on a rubber band!" (Swinging on a rubber band!") "Fell into a frying pan!" ("Fell into a frying pan!") "Now Tarzan has a tan!" ("Now Tarzan has a tan!") Then Ja-a-a-ane crashing an airplane and having a pain, I think, then something about Cheetah that rhymed and then we would have to repeat "Now Cheeta is somethingeeta, Now Jane has a pain, Now Tarzan has a tan", then the next one and the next, whatever that would be.


Then we had "Everywhere we go people wanna know who we are, so we tell them, we are the so-and-so, the mighty mighty so-and-so, and if you can't hear us we'll shout a little louder", with one group shouting each part initially and the second group repeating it in a different tone, I think we all know that one.

Edit: I'm very obsessive-compulsive on this board, lol. I also sang, in the grade 3 choir, Ebenezer Scrooge, and my cousin's friend had to sing this in school, to the tune of Jingle Bells:


I heard it in the snow
and Santa dressed in red
came crashing thru my roof
and landed on my bed.
I thought it was a dream
but quickly did I wake
and that's when I heard Santa scream "I want a piece of cake!"

Santa Claus, Santa Claus, you are much too fat (sometimes "mushy fat")
I was sleeping peacefully but now my bed is flat.
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, how much do you weigh?
I'm glad I'm not a reindeer that has to pull your sleigh!

There were other verses too!
