Girls’ Camp

by Ellen Hawkins

My 12-year old daughter, Samantha, got home from our church’s Girl’s Camp yesterday. She was high as a kite from putting on skits, tipping the canoe over, making new friends and singing campfire songs. A day later, she’s still singing those repetitive songs that you can never get out of your head. Remember this one?

Oh the Lord said to Noah there’s going to be a floody floody,
The Lord said to Noah there’s going to be a floody floody,
Get those animals out of the muddy muddy, children of the Lord.

Chorus:
So rise and shout and give God your glory, glory,
Rise and shout and give God your glory, glory
Rise and shout and give God your glory, glory children of the Lord.

How about this one:

The cannibal king with a big nose ring
Fell in love with a husky maid
And every night in the pale moonlight,
Across the bay he’d wade.

He’d hug and kiss his pretty little miss,
Under the bamboo tree.
And every night in the pale moonlight.
It sounds like this to me.

Boom boom (two kissing sounds)
Boob boom (two kissing sounds)
Under the bamboo tree
Boom boom (two kissing sounds)
Boom boom (two kissing sounds)
Honey won’t you marry me?

These songs bring back tons of memories of my own Girls’ Camps–the giggling, flighting, crying, joke playing, but most of all sitting around the fire singing silly songs. I think I’m going to teach my kids some of these goofy songs on our next campout. Try these campfire songs if your memories don’t serve you.
