Subject: RE: Songs for Scouts
The book "Wee Sing Silly Songs" is a treasure of camp and kids songs. Included is this one... I can't at the moment remember the original title of the tune.

Go Get The Ax

Peepin' through the knothole of Grandpa's wooden leg
Who'll wind the clock when I am gone?
Go get the ax. There's a flea in Lizzie's ear,
And a boy's best friend is his mother.

I fell from the window, a second story window,
Why do they build the shore so near the ocean?
Who cut the sleeves out of dear old Daddy's vest?
And dug up Fido's bones to build the sewer?

A horsey stood around with his feet upon the ground,
Oh, who will wind the clock when I am gone?
Go get the ax, there's a fly on Lizzie's ear,
And a boy's best friend is his mother.
