Oh, joy! I love the internet when I find people who are interested in the same stuff I am. I did a lot of singing as a girl scout in the mid-sixties to early seventies, and am currently trying to make myself a sort of a list of the songs I remember. It just keeps getting longer! But in the search for lyrics I stumbled across a book called SONG FEST, edited by Dick and Beth Best with versions from 1948 and 1955 which is worth trying to find through interlibrary loan. Lots of rude, funny songs with appeal to teens (although some of them are really offensive, so pick with care and change words!) as well as some lovely songs that I remember quite fondly. The books were done for the Intercollegiate Outing Club Association. Included are tunes like "Pink Pajamas" "The Hearse Song" and a number of parodies. "Throw it Out the Window" is there too.

Short funny and repeating songs seem to work best with kids who are not used to singing, but once they can carry a tune reliably, rounds and canons are popular.

Yoicks! and away!
