Campfire songs

The Quartermaster's Store

There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats
In the stores, in the stores
There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats
In the Quartermaster's store.

Chorus
My eyes are dim, I can not see
I have not brought my specks with me
I have not brought my specks with me.

Mice . . . running through the rice

Snakes . . . as big as garden rakes

Beans . . . as big as submarines

Gravy . . . enough to float the navy

Cakes . . . that give us tummy aches

Eggs . . . with scaly chicken legs

Butter . . . running in the gutter

Lard . . . they sell it by the yard

Bread . . . with great big lumps like lead

Cheese . . . that makes you want to sneeze

Soot . . . they grow it by the foot

Goats . . . eating all the oats

Bees . . . with little knobby knees

Owls . . . shredding paper towels

Apes . . . eating all the grapes

Turtles . . . wearing rubber girdles

Bear . . . with curlers in its hair

Buffalos . . . with hair between their toes

Foxes . . . stuffed in little boxes

Coke . . . enough to make you choke

Pepsi . . . that gives you apoplexy

Roaches . . . sleeping in the coaches

Flies . . . swarming 'round the pies

Fishes . . . washing all the dishes

Moths . . . eating through the cloths

Scouts . . . eating brussel sprouts

Leaders . . . slapping at the skeeters

Gravy gravy, enough to sink the navy

Cheese cheese, that brought you to your knees

Soup soup, supposed to feed the group

Chip chips, as big as battleships

Rats rats, as big as alley cats

Ventures Ventures wearing plastic dentures

Bread bread, as hard as ??ead

Skip skip, looking a bit of a drip

Scouts scout, chewing on some sprouts
 
...and anything else you can think of! It is possible to try and do a verse about everyone round the fire - which can be a bit of a challenge.
