Thread Name: Lyr Req: You push the lever in... (Damper Song)
Subject: ADD: Damper Song
This is the official Cub Scout version. Since I am hopelessly uncoordinated, I don't do motion songs; so I didn't learn this one.

The Damper Song
Oh, you push the damper in
And you pull the damper out
And the smoke goes up the chimney just the same
Just the same, just the same.
And the smoke goes up the chimney just the same
Motion:
Push - extend right arm forward
Pull - pull right arm back
Smoke - curl right hand, two fingers extended, up in a spiral
Just the same - full arm sweep to the right
Just the same - full arm sweep to the left
2nd time - whistle tune with all the motions
Source: Cub Scout Songbook, 1969, 1996
3rd time - do motions only with no sound
