Giddy-up-go (answer)
There's a time to laugh and a time to cry
A time to forgive and a time to forget
Dreams we dream sometimes never die
We carry them on till they become someone else's dream
A friend of mine had such a dream
I met her at a truck stop just outside Phoenix
We both worked there
Her dream came true, I know it
The key to her dream was a little sign that reads
Giddy-up-go
She's a lovely girl, pretty smile
But behind all this I could see a troubled mind
She told me o' when she met the guy that won her heart
And made her life a joy
And before too long more happiness came, a little baby boy
Things wasn't to bad
The job wasn't much
But somehow they got by
And then came the day when he drove home a big truck
And the little boy became so overjoyed
Just like when he saw his first falling snow
He kept shoutin' Giddy-up-go Daddy, Giddy-up-go
Then a dark cloud moved in
A few years later
Not long, after a few visits to the doctor
She said it was just a matter of time
She knew she would have to move to a warmer climate
And this troubled he mind
So without leaving a trace
She took her son, and left town one night!
She settled here
And we became the closest of friends
We talked from time to time and she'd smile
And her eyes would glow
When she talked about Giddy-up-go
Each time a truck would pull in
I could see her stare, and stare
Wasn't long before she had to give up being a waitress here
And she moved on out of town. Not too far
We visited almost every week
The boy had almost grown
He's the spittin' image of his dad, she'd say
The most handsome man I've ever known
Without cab once more, moved away
As I stood close by, once again, she told her story
I could see a tear in her eye
I know my son longs for the road
'N the last request he had: Let him be a truck driver
Like son, like dad
The boy soon left town, I never knew for where
But I find myself watching every truck that pulls around the curve
And Giddy-up-go was the only name that held between the two
And I was hopin' that I could be of help
It became a dream for me too
Just now I froze in my tracks, as I watched two trucks pull in
A big new shiny diesel, and an old one
Wow. I couldn't help starin' as they walked in
Ordered coffee and talked a while
Then I saw them leave, both wearin' such a smile
They walked out to the old truck
And brushed off some dirt
So the name plate would show
And before my eyes, a little sign that read
Giddy-up-go

Going Camping
(Bubbles)
We're forever going camping
Camping the whole year round
We reach the site, middle of the night
And then we find we've got no light
Sleeping all together, on the stony ground
We're forever going camping
Going camping all year round

singing:
We are the gopher girls
We go for gopher guys
They don't gofer us
We wonder why!
Gopher Guts
(The Old Gray Mare)
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
mutilated monkey meat
dirty little pigeon's feet
All mixed up with a pile of poison possum pus
and me without my spoon
And me without my spoon
and me without spoon
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
and me without my spoon
We'll use a straw!

Grandfather's Clock
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering, tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours had he spent as a boy
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy
For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
Not a servant so faithful he found
For it wasted no time, and had but one desire
At the close of each week to be wound
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face
And its hands never hung by its side
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
It rang in alarm in the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit was plumbing its flight
That his hour of departure had come
Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
Green Grass (There was a Hole)
There was a hole
The prettiest little hole that you ever did see
And the green grass grew all around, all around
And the green grass grew all around
And in that hole
There was a tree
The prettiest little tree that you ever did see
And the tree was in the hole
And the hole was in the ground
Continue adding one line at a time....
Now on that tree... There was a branch... the prettiest little
etc...
...limb on the tree
...nest on the limb
...egg in the nest
...bird in the egg
...wing on the bird
...feather on the wing
...bacteria on the feather

Green grow the rushes o
What is your two o
Two, two the lily white boys
Clothed all in green o o
One is one and all alone
And ever more shall be so
Three, three the rivals
Four for the Gospel makers
Five for the symbols at your door
Six for the six brown walkers
Seven for the seven stars in the sky
Eight for the April rainers
Nine for the nine bright shiners
Ten for the Ten Commandments
Eleven for the eleven that went to heaven
Twelve for the twelve apostles
Greenland Fisheries
'Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty three
On June the thirteenth day
That our gallant ship her anchor weighed
And for Greenland bore away, brave boys
And for Greenland bore away
The lookout in the crosstrees stood
With a spyglass in his hand
"There's a whale, there's a whale, there's a whalefish" he cried
And she blows at every span, brave boys
And she blows at every span
The captain stood on the quarter-deck
And a fine little man was he
"Overhaul! Overhaul! let your davit-tackles fall
And launch your boats for the sea, brave boys
And launch your boats for the sea"
Now the boats were launched and the men aboard
And the whale was full in view
Resolv-ed was each seaman bold
To steer where the whalefish blew, brave boys
To steer where the whalefish blew
We struck the whale, and the line paid out
But she gave such a flourish with her tail
That the boat capsized and four men were lost
And we never caught that whale, brave boys
And we never caught that whale
"To lose that whale" our captain said
"It grieves my heart full sore
But to lose four of our gallant sailor boys
It grieves me ten times more, brave boys
It grieves me ten times more"
"The winter star doth now appear
So, boys, we'll anchor weigh
It's time to leave this cold country
And homeward bear away, brave boys
And homeward bear away"
Oh, Greenland is a dreadful place
A land that's never green
Where there's ice and snow, and the whalefishes blow
And the daylight's seldom seen, brave boys
And the daylight's seldom seen
Green Trees Around You
Green trees around you, blue skies above
Friends all about you in a world filled with love
Taps sounding softly, hearts beating true
As Girl Scouts sing Good Night to you
(Then you sing Taps)
