Comments
there are many lyrics to this song and I can’t name them all so you can look for some more or you can make up your own. to do this song you have to have a reasonable amount of scouts participating (4 to 13 scouts is good, depends on how long you want the song to be.) then the first scout says his line then back to the chorus, then the second person says his line,then the first scout says his line again while the second scout is singing his line a second time, then you do the same thing while having the number of times the line is repeated being greater and greater the more scouts you have. (If you can’t understand these directions then find a scout troop who knows how to do this perform in front of you. p.s.the actions are the numbers that are in the middle of the lyrics, example, If the number is five then you look down at the actions and look for that number and the action for that part should be listed there, under that number.
