When Molly Was a Spark
(to the tune of "The More We Get Together")
(actions in brackets)
Thanks very much to Kathy MacEachern and "Cookiequeen",
who both posted portions of this song to the Guiding Mailing List.
- When Molly was a Spark, a Spark, a Spark
- When Molly was a Spark, a Spark was she
- She went this way and that way and this way
and that way (make flashing motions with your hands, very rapidly)
- When Molly was a Spark, a Spark was she
When Molly was a Brownie, a Brownie, a Brownie
- When Molly was a Brownie, a Brownie was she
- She went this way and that way and this way
and that way (make the Brownie sign and rock back and forth to the beat
of the song)
- When Molly was a Brownie, a Brownie was she
Other Verses and Their Actions (actions
are done on the third line of each verse):
- Guide: make the Guide sign
- Pathfinder: you push back your hair with
one hand, put your other hand on your hip then switch (hard to explain
- but similar to the "girlfriend" action in the Yogi Bear song)
- Ranger: flick hair
- Link: write madly on paper on hand
- Leader (Guider): shake finger with hands
on hips
- Mother: rock baby
- Grandmother: knit while rocking like
crazy
- Spirit: all scream BOO!
Thanks very much to Carla Paddock, who posted
this version of the song to the Guiding Mailing List. I'm not sure if it goes to
the same tune as shown above, though.
