6 - When I was one (Longer)

[@katherinemetherell9674]

I remember singing this in camp with the boy scouts and the other girl scouts:,))))))

[@Chaossquid567]

cool

[@larasultana7271]

WHEN I WAS ONE
When I was one, I sucked my thumb
(CHORUS)
The day I went to sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me
We're going this way, that way
Forward, backward, over the Irish Sea
A juicy plum to fiddle my tum
And that's the life for me!
When I was two, I tied my shoe, the day I went to sea… (chorus)
When I was three, I climbed a tree, the day… (chorus)
When I was four, I shut the door, (chorus)
When I was five, I did a jive, (chorus)
When I was six, I picked up sticks, (chorus)
When I was seven, I gazed at the heavens, (chorus)
When I was eight, I shut the gate, (chorus)
When I was nine, I ate a lime, (chorus)
When I was ten, I did it again, (chorus)

Thank you guys so much for capturing Girl Scout songs and sharing them. It’s meant so much to me, and helping me to pass them along.

[@mainmom41007]

Thank you ladies, I was looking everywhere for this song's lyrics & tune, PLEASE DO MORE GS SONGS! :)

[@bethellenstanley8319]

My 3 year old son is feeding tube dependent and loves pirates. I sing him this song sometimes and he loves it!

[@stephaniebell8192]

So funny how regional lyrics change. I was taught 'North, South, East, West, across the Irish sea!' Australia

[@jenniferkratzer4592]

Even though this is longer then other ones, this is my favorite one.

[@katharinenoble1682]

That's the point!!!

[@huntress827]

I SWEAR TO GOD!!!! I MISS CAMP SO MUCH AND IT IS LITERALLY THE 2ED WEEK OF SCHOOL!!!! I AM BINGING CAMP SONGS TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE FACT NO SCOUTS NEAR ME KNOW ANY CAMP SONGS OR GO TO CAMP! I MISS CAMP!!!! 😱😱😱😱

[@arianacrowley9217]

thats so good thats the best to me

[@madisonboyer1321]

i learned it as a bottle of coke to sooth my throat and thats the life for me

[@Kitty-sj7ls30]

At school we did it WAY different.

[@ebonyearp-mawson5095]

Isn't it meat to me a bottle of rum?....

[@zosia_mi]

That's what I thought.

[@chillz6822]

Ebony Earp-Mawson yes but they changed it after the parents complained

[@ellie.sstreet]

Now its "A bottle of coke to smooth my throat and that's the life for me"

[@lucyevans8934]

ye that is what i grow up with

[@5Pip]

PLUMS??? When did a bottle of rum become a plum............................ what self respecting pirate has plums instead of rum? What are you teaching kids now a days. jeez

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Couldn't agree more!
A juicy plum sounds stupid.

[@mhennessy8230]

we always said "a stuck of gum to warm my rum"

[@amylowes540]

5Pip I thought the same

[@shadowsniper6394]

Because rum would be too grown-up 😂

[@allisonschuetze]

5Pip we say a seven up to fill me up!

[@ameliepainter4059]

At school when I did this it wasn’t doing I tired my shoe

[@tshrinivas]

I am looking for lyrics of a song Girl Scouts sing in a public interest message carried by the Fox radio that by grade six girls lose interest in science.

[@jenniferkratzer4592]

Why is everyone triggered over how it's a plum instead of rum?

[@Chaossquid567]

right

[@carliwickenheiser8336]

Finally I found a pirate song!! My camp name is Pirate Pete so I'm going to defiantly teach the girls this (;

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Nothing wrong with rum after all that's what pirates drink!!!!
It's hardly encouraging Alcoholism in our youth is it?!

[@lbell2008]
