 Hunka-Hunka
Me that live on temporary house stop, I wonder, when He comes again, will I be ready there
To look upon His loving face and join with Him in prayer?
Me that live on 31st flat. Each day I’ll try to do His will and let my light so shine
Me that carry itsy-bitsy laundry, That others seeing me may seek for greater light divine.
Ruffles on the petticoats ten cents more. Then, when that blessed day is here, He’ll love me and He’ll say,
Me like a meow-meow better than a chow-chow, “You’ve served me well, my little child; come unto my arms to stay.”
Me like a hunka-hunka, he like a me!
Way down in Hong Kong, big a mama comes along
Take away my Hunka-Hunka, poor poor me! I Love to See the Temple
Me go to Hong Kong, whack a mama with a gong
Take away my Hunk-Hunka, yeah for me! I love to see the temple.
We get engaged and sealed in the temple, I’m going there someday
Not for time alone, but for eternity. To feel the Holy Spirit,
To listen and to pray.
Deep and Wide For the temple is a house of God,
A place of love and beauty.
*Sing the first time with all words and actions. Then repeat
I’ll prepare myself while I am young;
taking out an underlined word each time. Replace it with
This is my sacred duty.
humming still doing the actions .
I love to see the temple.
Deep and wide, deep and wide, I’ll go inside someday.
There’s a fountain flowing deep and wide. I’ll cov’nant with my Father;
Deep and wide, deep and wide, I’ll promise to obey.
There’s a fountain flowing deep and wide. For the temple is a holy place
Where we are sealed together.
I’m a Nut As a child of God, I’ve learned this truth:
A family is forever.
I’m a little acorn round,
Lying on the cold cold ground, I’m Trying to Be like Jesus
Everybody steps on me, that is why I’m cracked you see,
I’m trying to be like Jesus;
CHORUS: I’m following in His ways.
I’m a nut (clap, clap) I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
In a rut (clap, clap) At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,
I’m crazy!
CHORUS:
Called myself on the telephone, Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Just to see if I was home, Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Asked myself out for a date, Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
Gotta be ready by half past eight! For these are the things Jesus taught.

CHORUS I’m trying to love my neighbor;

I’m learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
Took myself to the picture show, I try to remember the lessons He taught.
Sat myself in the very first row, Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:
Wrapped my arms around my waist,
Got so fresh I slapped my face! CHORUS

Father Abraham
While I am in my early years, I’ll prepare most carefully,
So I can marry in God’s temple for eternity. Father Abraham had seven sons.
Seven sons had Father Abraham.
CHORUS And they never laughed, and they never cried
My Heavenly Father Loves Me All they did was go like this: (yell out verses, group echoes

Whenever I hear the song of a bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky, 1. With a right
Whenever I feel the rain on my face 2. And a left
Or the wind as it rushes by, 3. And a right
Whenever I touch a velvet rose 4. And a left
Or walk by our lilac tree, 5. Add the head
I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world Turn around
Heav’nly Father created for me.

He gave me my eyes that I might see

The color of butterfly wings. Mother Gooney Bird
He gave me my ears that I might hear (to the tune of Father Abraham)
The magical sound of things.
He gave me my life, my mind, my heart: Mother Gooney bird had seven chicks,
I thank him rev’rently Seven chicks had Mother Gooney bird.
For all his creations, of which I’m a part. And they couldn’t walk, and they couldn’t talk,
Yes, I know Heav’nly Father loves me. They could only go like this:
(yell out verses, group echoes back)
When He Comes Again
1. Right arm (flap like a wing!)
I wonder, when He comes again, will herald angels sing? 2. Left arm
Will earth be white with drifted snow, or will the world know
spring?
3. Right leg
I wonder if one star will shine far brighter than the rest; 4. Left leg
Will daylight stay the whole night through? 5. Tongue out
Will songbirds leave their nests?
I’m sure He’ll call His little ones together round His knee,
6. Bum out
Because he said in days gone by, Turn around
“Suffer them to come to me.”

 I Love the Mountains Give Said the Little Stream
(sing as a round)
“Give”, said the little stream,
I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills Give, oh give, give, oh give.
I love the fountains, I love the daffodils. “Give” said the little stream as it hurried down the hill.
I love the fireside when all the lights are low “I’m small, I know, but wherever I go the fields grow greener
Boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada still.”
Boom-de-ada, boom-de-ay
CHORUS:
Baby Jaws Singing, singing all the day,

Peel banana, peel peel banana (REPEAT)
Slice banana, slice slice banana (REPEAT)
Mash banana, mash mash banana (REPEAT) Because I Have Been Given Much
Eat banana, eat eat banana (REPEAT)
Go bananas, go go bananas! (REPEAT) Because I have been given much, I too must give,
Because of thy great bounty, Lord, each day I live.
The Crocodile I shall divide my gifts from thee with every brother that I see
Who has the need of help from me.
She sailed away
On a sunny summer day Because I have been sheltered, fed by they good care,
On the back of a crocodile I cannot see another’s lack and I not share
You see said she My glowing fire, my loaf of bread,
He’s as tame, as tame could be My roof’s safe shelter overhead,
I’ll ride him down Nile That he too may be comforted.
The croc winked his eye
As she waved them all goodbye Because I have been blessed by thy great love, dear Lord,
Wearing a happy smile I’ll share they love again, according to thy word.
At the end of the ride I shall give love to those in need; I’ll show that love by work
The lady was inside and deed;
And the smile was on the crocodile Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed.

 When the sun came shining, and I was strolling
I’m a Believer! And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling
(To the tune “I’m a Believer” from Shrek) As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting;
This land was made for you and me!
I thought camp was just for nerdy loser girls.
Not for social butterflies like me! This land is your land, this land is my land,
Building fires all day, From California, to the New York islands
Even eating S’mores. From the redwood forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
But I found out camp is so much more! This land was made for you and me!

‘Cause I tried it out

Now I’m a believer! Love One Another
So twist and shout,
‘Cause camp’s a blast! As I have loved you,
Yeah I went to camp, Love one another.
Now I’m a believer, can’t wait to be back here next year! This new commandment: Love one another.
By this shall men know, Ye are my disciples,
I love waking in the early morning light. If ye have love, One to another.
Hiking in the woods and singing songs.
Keeping leaders up late,
Yuma Stake is great!
Next year’s camp is coming, I Walk by Faith
I can’t wait!
I will prepare to make and keep sacred covenants,
‘Cause I went to camp Seek promised blessings of the priesthood thru obedience,
Now I’m a believer! Live my life to claim the blessing sweet of exaltation.
So sing and dance My testimony growing each new day.
‘Cause camp’s a blast!
Yeah I went to camp, I walk by faith, a daughter of heav’nly parents.
Now I’m a believer, can’t wait to be back here next year! Divine am I in nature by inheritance.
The spirit whispers of my mission, my individual worth,
‘Cause I went to camp!! So I seek for precious knowledge, for learning, and for
growth.
(**lyrics by Tammy Stuart)
I understand the meaning of accountability;
Every choice for good or ill is my responsibility.
I want to build the kingdom, and good works is
the key.
By doing what I know is right I show integrity.

I walk by faith, a daughter of heav’nly parents.

Divine am I in nature by inheritance.
And someday when God has proven me I’ll see
him face to face.
But just for here and now I walk by faith.
Yes, just for here and now I walk by faith.

God bless America, Land that I love. Agile Fragile Heart
Stand beside her, and guide her

America! America! God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law. You can tell your ma, and you can tell your pa,
That you have found a girl that they can trust.

Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more And I don’t touch no alcohol or drugs.

Thin alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed his grace on thee, CHORUS
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining

This Land is your Land

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York islands
From the redwood forest, to the Gulf Stream waters

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,

I saw above me, that endless skyway
I saw below me, that golden valley;
This land was make for you and me!

 (**Lyrics by Tammy Stuart) Till the one day when banana met papaya
To the Cook And they knew that they were much more than a bunch,
Yes this crew would somehow form a fruit drink.
(to sing at meal times to the cooks)
That’s the way that they became Hawaiian Punch
Hawaiian Punch! Hawaiian Punch!

Listen while we sing to you!

Listen while we sing to you trying on the pants in the Periwinkle store.
Oh yeah!
Listen while we sing to you. My eyes are dim I cannot see
I did not bring my specs with me
Pink Pajamas I did not bring my spectacles with me.
(to the tune: “Battle Hymn of the Republic”) Repeat with:
Frogs trying on clogs
I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it’s hot, Turtles trying on the girdles
I wear my flannel nightgown in the winter when it’s not.
And sometimes in the spring and sometimes in the fall,
I jump between the sheets with nothing on at all! My country, ‘tis of Thee
Glory, glory hallelujah My country, ‘tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty,
Glory, glory what’s it to ya? Of thee I sing;
Balmy breezes blowing through ya! Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
With nothing on at all. From every mountain side, Let freedom ring!

It Isn’t any Trouble My native country, thee, Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
(to the tune: “Battle Hymn of the Republic”) I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and temple hills.
My heart with rapture thrills, Like that above.
It isn’t any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E,
It isn’t any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E, Let music swell the breeze, and reign from all the trees,
So smile when you’re in trouble, Sweet freedom’s song;
It will vanish like a bubble; Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake,
If you only take the trouble just to S-M-I-L-E. Let rocks their silence break, The song prolong.

Verses Our father’s God, to thee, Author of liberty,

1. S-M-I-L-E To thee we sing;
2. G-I-GIGGLE-E Long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light.

I cant find them, did you hide them She told him he could kiss her or get out and swim.

Who was raising three very lovely fruits. When your man is swimming all around, around,
Each of them had peels of gold, just like their father When your man is swimming all around……
The youngest one was green Get out and swim!

Here’s the story of a ripe papaya.

Who was busy with three fruits of its own.
They were four fruits living in the same tree,
But they were all alone.

She sailed across (echo back), the channel too (echo back). Dwelt a doctor, the concoctor,
And she took with her (echo back), A Rigabamboo! (echo Of the monster, Frankenstein.
back)
CHORUS:
CHORUS: Oh my monster, oh my monster,
A Rigabamboo! Now what is that? Oh my monster, Frankenstein.
It’s something made, by the Princess Pat, You were built to last forever,
It’s red and gold, and purple too, Dreadful scary Frankenstein.
That’s why it’s called, A Rigabamboo!
In a graveyard, near the castle,
Where the sun refused to shine,
(*continue the echo in all verses)
He found noses and some toes-es
For his monster Frankenstein.
Now Captain Jack, had a mighty fine crew
He sailed across, the channel too, CHORUS
But his ship sank, and yours will too,
If you don’t take, A Rigabamboo!
Road Kill Stew
CHORUS (To the tune: “3 Blin
d Mice”)
Now Captain Kirk, he was no jerk.
And Mr. Spock, he was no jock. Road kill stew, road kill stew,
But their ship flew, and yours will too. Tastes so good,
If you just take, A Rigabamboo! Just like it should.
First you go down to the interstate.
CHORUS You wait for the critter to meet it’s fate.
You take it home and you make it great.
Sippin’ Cider Road kill stew, road kill stew!
(an echo song)

The cutest guy (echo back), All-Star Song

I ever saw (echo back), (to the tune: “Take me out to the Ball Game”)
Was sippin’ ci- (echo back),
der through a straw (echo back), Take me home to Eagle Mountain
The cutest guy I ever saw-aw-aw,
was sippin’ cider thru a straw. Take me home to my bed
Buy me some soap and some razor blades
(*continue the echo in all verses) Let me sleep for a couple of days!
I asked him if,
he’d show me how, So it’s root, root, root for a long shower
To sip some ci-
der through a straw.
If the phone don’t ring it’s a shame
He said of course, he’d show me how, ‘Cuz it’s TV, radio, and don’t forget boys
to sip some cider through a straw. Back at home, Hooray!
First cheek to cheek,
Then jaw to jaw,
