Fried Ham
(source: "Campfire Activities", Girl Guides of Canada, 1993.)
- Fried ham, fried ham, cheese and baloney,
- After macaroni, you add mustard, pickles and ketchup,
- Then you add some more fried ham, fried ham, fried ham.
- Next verse, same as the first, ____________, whole lot
worse.
At the blank, add the "change" you'd like
to do in the next verse, e.g. "underwater", "a whole lot
louder", "with a French accent", etc.
Thanks very much to Suzi Mills, who emailed me
this version of the song!
- Fried ham, fried ham, cheese and baloney
- After the macaroni, we'll have onions, pickles, and
pretzels
- Then we'll have some more fried ham, fried ham, fried ham
- Next verse, same as the first, ___________ do it a whole lot worse.
Then, substitute a guiding level:
- Sparks (suck thumb while singing)
- Brownies (look nervous and timid and easily distracted)
- Guides (look extremely bored; drag the song out, including the occasional yawn)
- Pathfinders (pretend to put on make-up)
- Rangers (pretend to drive a car)
- Leaders (shake finger angrily and sing song as if it were an order)
- Commissioners (pretend to have tea, high-society-style -
pinkie finger out, dab corners of mouth with napkin; high pitched voice)
