Color war morning greetings

After we’d line up at flag poll, each team in turn would do the morning greeting. One was this (I’m sure a few words are off):

 Good morning blue team

the white team says hi

Our smiling faces, the gleam in our eye

Since we have slept well, we hope you have too

good morning blue team, the best day to you

The we did the one (maybe I already wrote this) based on Boom and Robin’s little Bingo Bango Bongo song:

Bingo Bango Bongo, morning judges morning blue team

oh the white team says hi

(then we did a little wave)

Then there was the boring one where we just said Best of luck in today’s events.

Birthday songs

There were a few camp-specific songs I remember when someone had a summer birthday. (For some reason I remember the girl who played Oliver in like 1970 or so had a summer birthday.)

This one was just a chant:

Happy Birthday (unh)

Happy Birthday (unh)

There is sorrow everywhere and

people dying everywhere

But Happy Birthday (unh)

Happy Birthday (unh)

The birthday kiss one??

This was another chant/cheer. I can’t remember how the beginning went.

Wait, two days later, I can remember… 

Today is somebody’s birthday

Who’s birthday?

Susan’s birthday

How old is she?

[then you'd clap the right number of times]

13 years old and never been kissed?

This was always done in the mess hall, and it would end with everyone saying (using whatever names there were):

Jimmy give Susie a birthday kiss, Jimmy give Susie a birthday kiss…

 This would go on until the hoped for Jimmy would make his way from the boys’ side of the mess hall to the girls’ side and give Susie a kiss…

The other one, I never knew all the lyrics, but hopefully someone can supply the middle two lines:

Kings and queens and princes too

Blah blah blah blah blah blah (some word that ended with an oo sound)

Blah blah blah blah blah blah (some word that ended with an oo sound)

Happy Birthday…to you
