Here We Go Around The World Centres
It's a Small World (With Scouting
Verses)
Our Cabaña Song (Canción de Nuestra
Cabaña)
There's something in my pocket
That belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me,
In a most convenient place.
I bet you'll never guess it
If you guess a long long while,
So I'll take it out and put it on.
It's a great big Brownie smile!

(to the tune of "Pop Goes The Weasel")
Up and down the neighborhood streets
Girl Scouts sell their cookies
Ringing doorbells, asking you please
Please buy some cookies!
(to the tune of "Rubber Ducky")
Words: Anonymous; Music: Jeffry Moss
Cookie Mommies, you're the ones
Who count the boxes, one by one.
Cookie Mommies, we're awfully proud of you.
Do, Do, Si, Do.
We sell cookies for the Scouts,
But you're the reason it all works out.
Cookie Mommies, its all because of you.
Every box we sell
Makes a little bit of money
To pay for
All the projects and
Buy the snacks for our tummies,
Mommies!
Cookie Mommies, you get the work done.
You make selling lots of fun.
Cookie Mommies, we o-o-owe it all to you!

Girls' Version:
We're selling Girl Scout cookies, yes, it's Girl Scout Cookie time!
"Would you like to buy some?" is our cookie selling line.
We've got lots to choose from, don't you see your favorite kind?
We thank you very much!
Glory, glory we are Girl Scouts!
Smiling, cookie selling Girl Scouts!
Please buy cookies, you can help us.
We can't eat them all ourselves!
Adults' Version:
We teach our girls business skills, drill math into their brain.
We sit cookie booths in sunshine and in wind, and heat, and rain.
We smile until our lips are numb for great financial gain,
But we still have cookies left!
Glory, glory I'm a leader
A grinning cookie chomping leader
All I ate was 40 boxes
And I still have cookies left!

(to the tune of "Brownie Smile Song")
I've something in my little hand that you just cannot see...
It's very very special and it's now a part of me.
The Daisy Girl Scouts showed me how to put it into place...
And when I clap my little hands you'll see my HAPPY FACE!!!
motions:
First line: Cup both hands together, palms together
Second line: Bring cupped hands to chest over heart
Third line: Open hands and cover face with open hands
Fourth line: Clap on the word clap, and make a motion outward with palms

(to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star")
Daisy Scouts are bright and gay,
See us work, and see us play.
We can dance, and we can sing.
We can do most anything.
We have fun, and help each day.
Daisy Scouts are here to stay.

(to the tune of "Did You Ever See a Lassie")
Did you ever see a Daisy, a Daisy, a Daisy?
Did you ever see a Daisy, a Daisy Girl Scout?
Go this way and that way, and that way and this way.
Did you ever see a Daisy, a Daisy Girl Scout?

Girl Scout cookies, Girl Scout cookies
Yum, yum, yum, Yum, yum, yum,
Eat 'em by the dozen, Eat 'em by the dozen,
They're all gone, They're all gone!

(to the tune of "Jingle Bells")
Girl Scout Cookies, Girl Scout Cookies
Shortbreads are the best,
Healthy & Nutritious and we like all the rest, HEY!
Girl Scout Cookies, Girl Scout Cookies
Thin Mints are great, too
We love the new and old ones
We love them all, do you?
Dashing to the fridge, to get a glass of milk
Before we go to bed & cover up with quilts
Bells on all the girls, try to sell the most
What fun it is to eat them all
Instead of eating toast!
Oh, Girl Scout Cookies, Girl Scout Cookies
Shortbreads are the best,
Healthy and nutritious and we like all the rest, HEY!
Girl Scout Cookies, Girl Scout Cookies
Thin Mints are great too,
We love the new and old ones
We love them all, do YOU?

(to the tune of "Oh Susannah")
Oh we come from Buffalo & Erie
Girl Scout cookies for to sell.
We see every Sue & Sally
Our good message for to tell.
Girl Scout Cookies!
Boy they are so neat!
So many kinds,
So good to taste
Hard to know which one to eat.

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.
Girl Scouts together,
Happy are we.
Friendly to neighbor,
Far o'er the sea.
Faithful to country,
Loyal to home,
Known as true Girl Scouts
Wherever we roam.
(to the tune of "Here We Go 'Round The Mulberry Bush")
Chorus:
Here we go around the world
Here we go around the world
Here we go around the world
To visit OUR CHALET.
At OUR CHALET we meet the Swiss
On mountain heights we climb like this
We might see a goat, or an Eidelweiss
All at OUR CHALET
Chorus: (change last line to "To visit PAX LODGE")
From PAX LODGE we see the sights
Of London Town and city lights
We meet the English on rainy nights
While we're cosy at PAX LODGE
Chorus: ... To visit OUR CABANA
OUR CABANA's in Mexico
And off to a bull fight we all go
Arts and crafts to children we show
When staying at OUR CABANA
Chorus: ... And now we go to SANGAM
India's SANGAM is far away
But we'll see the life of Old Bombay
We'll dance and sing all through the day
When we go to SANGAM
These are the centres for Girl Scouts or Guides
We think of them with joy and pride
For we have travelled far and wide
All around the world.

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
Chorus:
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
It's a world of Scouting, a world of fun
It's a world of aims, but we work as one
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all.
You can go to China or go to Spain
And the Scouting Handshake will be the same
We have friends in Japan,
Mexico, Pakistan,
It's a small world after all.

'Neath the grand Sierra Madre
On a plain in Mexico,
Lies our beautiful Cabaña,
Where Girl Scouts and Guides go.
Oh, come then to see the mountains,
The cactus and sunny skies;
Hear the cricket in the evening
And see the white moon arise.
When you see the warm red roofs
You think of hearts that glow with cheer
And the walls of sturdy stone work
Stand for friendship so dear.
Each day there is filled with laughter,
Each evening is filled with song,
And our stay in Our Cabaña
Gives us memories life-long.
When we go to Our Cabaña
We will find ourselves at home;
There's a greeting smile so friendly
And a handshake so warm.
So come now to Our Cabaña
World friendship to increase,
And carry to your homeland
International peace.

High up, high on the mountain
We founded Our Chalet
High up, high on the mountain
We founded Our Chalet
Its sloping roof and wide
Will shelter us without a care
And each and every Guide
Shall find a welcome there
High up, high on a mountain
We'll go to Our Chalet
High up, high on a mountain
We'll go to Our Chalet
Our simple life is free
Our hearts are light
Our songs are gay
We ever shall remember
The joys of Our Chalet
High up, high on the mountain
We founded Our Chalet
High up, high on the mountain
We'll go to Our Chalet
And this its dedication
Shall never fail nor be undone
Each race, each creed, each nation
Beneath its roof are one

(Words and music by Melinda Caroll, 1990, Girl Scouts of the United States of America.)
Chorus:
Change the world, come with me
Time to let our dreams fly free
And it comes so easily, that is our way
Every moment we're alive,
It's our love that will survive
In the Girl Scouts, together,
We change the world
Sisters of every color, friends from everywhere
We all make the difference, when we show the world we care
The Girl Scouts are our family, and they show us what we can be
And I believe, together, we change the world
In America, we have so much to give
To our sisters around the world who are struggling just to live
Light the light and do our share, reach out your hand and someone's there
And I believe, together, we change the world

Whene'er you make a promise,
Consider well its importance,
And when made,
Engrave it upon your heart.
