She Wears a "G"
submitted by Karen Glassman
Lyrics found here: http://www.scoutsongs.com/lyrics/shewearsag.htmFor the tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cw5QRv2g4
She wears a G for generosity.
She wears an I for interest, too.
She wears an R for real sportsmanship.
She wears and L for loyalty, for loyalty!
She wears an S for her sincereity.
She wears a C for courtesy.
She wears and O-U-T for outdoor life, outdoor life.
And that Girl Scout is Me!
Linger
Mm, mm, I’d like to linger
Mm, mm, a little longer
Mm, mm, a little longer here with you
Mm, mm, a little longer
Mm, mm, a little longer here with you
Mm, mm, it’s such a perfect night
Mm, mm, it doesn’t seem quite right
Mm, mm, that it should be my last with you
Mm, mm, it doesn’t seem quite right
Mm, mm, that it should be my last with you
Mm, mm, I will remember
Mm, mm, and come September
Mm, mm, our campfire bright and friendships true
Mm, mm, our campfire bright and friendships true
Mm, mm, and as the years go by
Mm, mm, I’ll think you and sigh
Mm, mm, I’ll think you and sigh
Mm, mm, this is goodnight and not goodbye
