Giddy-up-go (answer)Back to Song Category List Page Song Lyrics:
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 Ging Gang Goo Ging gang gooli gooli gooli gooli watcha, ging gang goo, ging gang goo Ging gang gooli gooli gooli gooli watcha, ging gang goo, ging gang goo Heyla, heyla sheyla, heyla sheyla, heyla roo Heyla, heyla sheyla, heyla sheyla, heyla roo Shali walli, shali walli, shali walli, shali walli Oompha, Oompah . . . Girl Scouts Together (Sung moderately slowly) Girl Scouts together That is our song Winding the old trails rocky and long Learning our motto living our creed Girl Scouts together in ev'ry good deed Glory, Glory, How Peculiar (Battle Hymn of the Republic) As one woodpecker pecked up the peg, the other woodpecker pecked down As one woodpecker pecked up the peg, the other woodpecker pecked down As one woodpecker pecked up the peg, the other woodpecker pecked down As one woodpecker pecked up the peg, the other woodpecker pecked down Glory, glory, how peculiar Glory, glory, how peculiar Glory, glory, how peculiar As one woodpecker pecked up the peg, the other woodpecker pecked down As one sly snake slipped up the slide, other sly snake slipped down As one blue bat blew in the bowl, other blue bat blew out As one black bug bled blue black blood, the other black bug bled blue As one drunk duck dove into the ditch, the other drunk duck dropped dead As one flea fly flew up the flue, the other flea fly flew down As one pink porpoise popped into the pool, other pink porpoise popped out As one brown bear backed up the bank, other brown bear backed down As one white whale whipped over the waves, other white whale whipped under God Bless My Underwear (God Bless America) God bless my underwear, my only pair Stand beside them, and guide them Through the rips, through the holes, through the tears From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline in the air God bless my underwear, my only pair God is Great, God is Good (Michael Row the Boat) God is great, God is good, Alleluia Let us thank him for our food, Alleluia By His hand we all are fed, Alleluia Thank you Lord, for daily bread, Alleluia God Our Father (Frere Jacques) God Our Father God Our Father Once again Once again We would ask thy blessing We would ask thy blessing Amen, Amen 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 Going Down The Valley We are going down the valley, going down the valley Going down the valley one by one, one by one We are going down the valley, going down the valley Going to the setting of the sun We are coming up the valley, coming up the valley Coming up the valley one by one, one by one We are coming up the valley, coming up the valley Coming to the rising of the sun Repeat the first verse several times getting quieter each time as you get further down the valley. Then switch to the second verse and get louder on each repeat Goodbye Horse Goodbye horse, goodbye horse He was saying goodbye to his horse And as he was saying goodbye to his horse He was saying goodbye to his horse Repeat for as long as you can stand it.... Goodnight Ladies/Cub Scouts Goodnight ladies, goodnight ladies, goodnight ladies We're sorry to leave you now Merrily we roll along, roll along, roll along Marrily we roll along, across the deep blue see Goodnight campers, goodnight campers Goodnight campers, it's time to say goodnight Sadly it is time to part, time to part, time to part Sadly it is time to part, and to day goodnight Good night . . .

Goodnight Song Evening sunset paints the sky Smoke from campfire drifts on high Songs and stories we like best Just before we go to rest Goodnight to every Cub Scout, say goodnight To those away and these here in our sight The fun we've had we will not soon forget The things we've learned and the pals we've met And so, goodnight to every Cub Scout, say goodnight Above may each boy's star send forth its light While songs and stories shared now wing their flight Goodnight, sweet dreams, goodnight! Gopher Girls Make buck teeth (gopher teeth) sticking out over lower lip while 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! Go Well and Safely Go well and safely Go well and safely Go well and safely The Lord be ever with you Stay well and safely Stay well and safely Stay well and safely The Lord be ever with you 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 I'll sing you one o Green grow the rushes o What is your one o One is one and all alone And ever more shall be so I'll sing you two o 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)
