- Celebrate! Girl Guide Cookies Are Here
- (from Celebrate! Participate! By Guides Canada)
Thanks very much to Karen Hobson, who included this
song in her Cookie Song compilation that she posted to the Guiding Mailing
List!
- Here we come now walking down your street
- We've got Girl Guide cookies and they can't be beat!
- This only happens just twice a year
- So celebrate because the time is here.
We're doing it safely going two by two.
- Calling on folks on the avenue.
- We're pretty smart cookies, we know what to do
- You look out for me, I look out for you.
Get out your loonies, your quarters and your dimes
- This year we're selling 29!
- We'll be knock knock knocking on your door
- We've got Girl Guide cookies do you want some more?
Don't be thinking this is something new
- My mom sold cookies and her mom did too.
- It's a proud tradition, a part of our past
- It's a part of our future, good things seem to last.
I hope I'm making this really clear
- This only happens just twice a year.
- In the spring there's chocolate and vanilla too
- In the fall there's chocolately mint for you.
So get out your loonies, your quarters and your dimes
- This year we're selling 39!
- We'll be ring ring ringing on the bell
- We've got Girl Guide cookies and we're ready to sell.
Put away the ice cream, who needs cake
- This is better make no mistake.
- It's better than candies, it's better than chips
- They've never tasted the likes of this.
Think of the things our work will do
- Riding horses for Jennie, summer camp for Sue.
- Sleeping under the stars as clear as can be
- It's a dream come true like a fantasy.
We're in this together, united we stand
- Girl Guides from across this land.
- Having fun together makes us grow up strong
- And Girl Guide cookies help the dream along.
So get out your loonies, your quarters and your dimes
- This year we're selling 49!
- We'll be walk walk walking up to your door
- With Girl Guide cookies do you want some more?
So call Uncle Charlie, get my sister Drew
- Call Granny and Gamps 'cause they like them too.
- Go get the neighbours and the little ones too
- We love Girl Guide cookies, tell me how about you?
So here we come now walking down the street
- We've got cookies and they can't be beat.
- This only happens just twice a year
- So celebrate because the time is here.
Get out your loonies, your quarters and your dimes
- This year I'm selling one million 600 thousand four hundred
