Late last night when we were all in bed Old lady Leary left the lateen in the shed And when the cow kicked it over her looked to her and said It’s gonna be hot down in old town tonight Fire fire fire Water water water Save my child save my child Jump lady jump

Wild horse and Slushy, Dry Lake, the Peaks. This was written by Girl Scouts backpacking San Gorgonio in SoCal 💚 Those peaks in the song are 11,000 feet up in the sky!

That is so fun

My mom was a WAVE during WWll. I was a mariner scout (a long time ago!) but never heard this. Love it

We used to sing this song at our summer day camp. Along with John Jacob and Shabooya Roll Call. So many memories. Wow.

Ah yes a song about not only stealing but also short changing. What a great song to sing at camp

We used a slightly different melody and harmony

I grew up in Girl Scouts. I began in second grade, back in the 50’s, you had to be seven. I was a Girl Scout until senior year in High School. I had two daughters and two Girl Scout troops, kindergarten through eight grade. I love Girl Scouts. They taught me so much.

Oh look, my childhood

This the song they sang to us a Somers camp

This is how i learned it 🎶 so i walked around the corner and i walked around the block and i walked right in to a doughnut shop. I picked up the doughnut and licked off the grease and handed the lady a 5 cent piece and she looked at the doughnut and she looked at me and she said this nickel isn’t good to me there’s a hole in the middle i can see right through. I sad “hey there’s a hole in my doughnut to” . So she chased me round the corner and she chased me round the block and she chased back up to the doughnut shop. She took back the doughnut and placed it in the grease and she handed me back my 5 cent piece. Thanks for the workout peace out girl scout! 🎶

So good

For me it"so I ran around the and I ran around the block and I ran right into a donut shop oof. Well I picked up a donut and I wiped off the grease and I handed the lady a five cent piece. And she looked at the Nickel and she looked at me and she said this money isn't good you see. There's a hole in the middle and I goes right though.... There's a hole in the donut to thanks for the donut Toodaloo"

I learned it a really long way, Late last night when we were all in bed Mrs O' Leary hung a lantern in the shed and when the cow kicked it over, she winked her eye and said itll be a hot time in the old town tonight Fire! Fire! Fire! Late last night when we were all in bed Mrs O'Leary hung a _____ in the ______ and when the cow kicked it over, she winked her eye and said itll be a _____ time in the old ____ tonight Fire! Fire! Fire! Late last night, when we were all in bed Mrs O'___ hung a ___ in the _____ and when the ____ kicked it _____ she winked her ___ and said itll be a ______ in the _______ tonight Fire Fire Fire! Late last night, when we were all in bed Mrs O'Leary hung a lantern in the shed and when the cow kicked it over, she winked her eye and said itll be a hot time in the old town tonight Fire! Fire! Fire! Pour the water! Pour the water! Save the baby! Save the baby! Jump! Jump! Jump! Dead!

My 92 year old grandpa sings this song I finally know all the words so I can sing next time thank you.

We pronounce this as "wattilyatcha doodley doo"

My grandparents were from Cincinnati, and this is how they taught it to us: Well, I went to Cincinnati, and I walked around the block. And I walked right into a donut shop. And I picked up a donut and I wiped off the grease and I handed the lady a five cent piece. Well, she looked at the nickel and she looked at me and she said, "By golly, you can plainly see. There's a hole in the nickel and it goes right through." And I said, "There's a hole in the donut, too." Boom. Boom.

This is how I learned it: This is a repeat after me song, Except for the chorus, Which goes like this: Chorus He was a big bold man, he was a desperado, From Cripple Creek way out in Colorado, And he horsed around like a big tornado, And everywhere he went he gave his yee-hoo There was a desperado from the wild wild west, He wore a big sombrero and two guns across his chest, He rode out to Chicago just to give the west a rest, And everywhere he went he gave a yee-hoo. Chorus He went to Coney Island just to check out all the sights, He rode the rollercoaster and it gave him such a fright, It gave him double vision so he shot out all the lights, And everywhere he went he gave a yee-hoo. Chorus There was a desperado just a walkin' down the street, There was a big policeman just a cruisin' on his beat, He grabbed him by the collar and he grabbed him by the seat, And he threw him so he couldn't give his yee-hoo. Chorus

This is the "official" 1950s version. Note the change in the chorus -- "bravado" rhymes with "desperado" and "Colorado". I don't know how it got changed to "tornado" which doesn't rhyme. Each time the teacher sang "war whoop!", the children would imitate the sound by humming while quickly patting their mouths. Also, I know it's picky, but gunslingers wouldn't wear guns on their chests -- they wore them just below their waists, hence "beneath his vest". There was a desperado from the wild and woolly West, He came into Chicago just to give the West a rest. He wore a big sombrero and two guns beneath his vest And everywhere he went he gave his war whoop! chorus: Oh a big, bold man was the desperado, From Bad Man's Gulch, way down in Colorado, He walked around with great bravado, And everywhere he went he gave his war whoop! He went to Coney Island just to take in all the sights, He saw the hootchie-kootchie and the girls dressed up in tights They got him so excited that he shot out all the lights, And as he left they heard him give his war whoop! (repeat chorus) A couple big policemen were out walking on their beat, They saw the desperado, he was coming down the street. They grabbed him by his collar and they grabbed him by his seat And threw him where he couldn't give his war whoop! (repeat chorus)

i sang this song at my camp and its been one of my many favorites

at my camp we sang this for the closing campfire and i cry during this song and circle game cause they are my favorites

My Sisters learned this in Girls Scouts back in the 70s

I learned it Well I walked around the corner and I walked down the block and I walked right into a donut shop And I picked up a donut and I licked off the grease And I handed the lady a 5-cent piece And she looked at the nickel and she looked at me And she said “This nickel is no good you see” There’s a hole in the middle there’s a hole right through! And I said “There’s a hole in my donut too” Thanks for the donut, toodaloo

This is a SONG!!!! Why didn't they SING IT???? Stupid!

The words are close to what I remember except for the last verse but we sang it more slowly.

NO way!! Okay, how I found this: it was linked in an NPR story about lullabies!!! Nice. We will return there one lucky day.... you ladies are making me cry. Sending much love.

I did this in 4h camp but ours went "he was a big tall man"

Damn it stop changing these old songs

All these old songs keep being changed it dosent go that way

This is not how it goes

😂 it's not so along it's toodle lu

Nostalgia

This was so fun😂

This is NOT a sea chanty!

I was treated up to doernbecher's children's hospital with the girl who wrote this song about the barges that used to travel across the Willamette River and I am so mad now that people are calling it a scout song when it was a song about a girl who wanted to survive and get out in the world and end up dying behind a window that couldn't Open

I always learned it: Late last night when we were all in bed Mrs OLeary hung a lantern in shed And when the cow kicked it over She winked her eye and said It’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight Fire fire fire Save my children save children Jump lady jump Aaaah splat

This is not the actual bungalow song.

This is so doggone cute!!

Core “Girl Scout” memory unlocked. Thank you.

As a singer and singing teacher what I hear in this video is a rhythmically delivered SPOKEN version...I don't hear any actual singing in it. The one I learned in the '60s had an actual melody...It was interesting to hear it without a melody, though!

My grandmother always sang me that song

Yo it’s w’ell build a bungalow big enough for two big enough for two my honey big enough for two and when we’re married how happy w’ell be underneath a bamboo underneath a bamboo tree and you’ll be m I n e mine I’ll be t h I n e thine and I’ll l o v e love you or the t I m e time you are the b e s t best of all the r e s t rest and I’ll l o v e love you or the t I m e time

the 4 h one is better

Reminds me of my time at Menzies<333

At camp we do Little cabin in the woods Little old man by the window stood Saw a rabbit hopping by Knocking at my door Woohoo Help me help me help me cried For the hunter shoots me dead Little rabbit come inside Safely by my side

I prefer I Met a Bear (a song brought to North America from Japan.)

Sally The Camel is great too, but I hate the version sung by Bob West and Dean Wendt.

I love your videos

I learned this back in the 90’s and still sing it to my kids (and every kid I’ve ever babysat) as a lullaby!
