Bloodthirsty Camp Songs!

Hey guys, what's up?
I just got back from camp a few days ago, and let me tell you, I am so glad that camp ended when it did! I won't say any names, but there were a few girls who for some reason just hated me. That made for a lot of drama. I actually ended up switching cabins because of it.
This was probably one of the worst weeks to go to camp with it being one of the hottest weeks of the year and all. As a result, we had 5 hours of swim time on average. So my hair is now green. And not on purpose.... for once.
Back to the title.
I don't think anyone realizes just how bloodthirsty Girl Scout camp songs can be! Take the Little Green Frog song, for example:

Er-ee went the little green frog one day,
Er-ee went the little green frog,
Er-ee went the little green frog one day,
And his eyes went er-ee too.


Honk-honk went the big red truck one day,
Ker-splat went the little green frog,
And his eye didn't go er-ee anymore,
'Cause he got eaten up by a dog,
Arf arf!


Poor, poor, poor frog.... First few times I refused to sing this song.
Next song:


Going swimming do-do-do-do-do,
Going swimming do-do-do-do-do,
Going swimming,


See a shark do-do-do-do-do,
See a shark do-do-do-do-do,
See a shark.


Baby shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Baby shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Baby shark.


Mommy shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Mommy shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Mommy shark.



Daddy shark do-do-do-do-do,
Daddy shark do-do-do-do-do,
Daddy shark.


Grandma shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Grandma shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Grandma shark.


Grandpa shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Grandpa shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Grandpa shark.


Lost a arm do-do-do-do-do-do
Lost a arm do-do-do-do-do-do
Lost a arm.


Swimming faster do-do-do-do-do-do,
Swimming faster do-do-do-do-do-do,
Swimming faster.


Lost a leg do-do-do-do-do-do,
Lost a leg do-do-do-do-do-do
Lost a leg.


Going down do-do-do-do-do-do,
Going down do-do-do-do-do-do,
Going down. 


Happy shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Happy shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Happy shark.


That's the end do-do-do-do-do-do,
That's the end do-do-do-do-do-do,
That's the end.


Ouch. This song does not portray sharks realistically (and it has way too  many do-do-dos).
Moving on...

Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went,
She threw it out the window!
The window,
The window,
The second story window,
High, low,
Low, high,
She threw it out the window! 


Noooooo! Why? Why? Why Mary!?!?

These are all real camp songs that we sung at camp.
