Road Kill Stew

(Tune: "Three Blind Mice")

Road kill stew, road kill stew.

Tastes so good, just like it should.

First you go down to the interstate.

You wait for the critter to meet it's fate.

You take it home and you make it great.

Road kill stew, road kill stew.

OMG...we sang Road Kill Stew at camp this summer. I learned it at National Camp School a couple of years ago. The kids really liked it.

 

We sing "We're from Nairobi" and "Ging Gang Goolie"

Hi Lady_Leigh67,

 

We had some fun with this song. I found it on the web (I forget the site), but when I imagined Julie Andrews singing it it didnt flow so I tweaked it a little (my apologies and scout salute to the original author).

 

Jaws

(Tune: "Do-Re-Mi")

 

JAWS: A mouth, a great big mouth.

TEETH: The things that kinda crunch.

US: His favorite juicy lunch.

YUM: On us hes gonna munch!

BLOOD: That turns the ocean red.

CHOMP: That means the shark's been fed.

GULP: Hes swallowing my head!

That will bring us back to JAWS! JAWS! JAWS! JAWS!

 

Another fun one is Da Moose, Da Moose. You use gestures to illustrate the actions (moose antlers, eating, jumping, swimming, floating face down, etc.) as you sing. Dont forget to get all emotional at the sad part. Another big scout salute to the original author.

 

Da Moose, Da Moose!

Jumping in the water.

Eating his breakfast.

Where did he go?

Heeee went to sleep!

 

Da Moose, Da Moose!

Swimming in the water.

Eating his dinner.

Where did he go?

Heeeeeeee went to sleep!

 

And now for the sad part!

 

Dead Moose, Dead Moose,

Floating in the water!

Not eating his desert!

Where did he go?

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeee decomposed!

 

At Outdoor Leader Skills Training I suggested Da Moose, Da Moose to my Patrol for the song we had to do at campfire. It went over quite well Im happy to say.

 

And yes, Road Kill Stew is a favorite too!

 

YIS,

Mike

Hi jmwalston,

 

I was afraid someone would ask me that. Its not a sung to the tune of song. Sung in a Harry Bellafonte type of accent. The first three lines are done in a sing-songy tune. Where did he go is stated as a question. The he is drawn out, a little more each time (note the extra es). The went to sleep and decomposed is said very quickly. Now for the sad part is also stated in a sad, weepy manner, the more over the top the better.

 

Dont forget the visuals. For example, hands up palm out at the ears for antlers for Da Moose, one hand up and one down for the Dead Moose.

 

I hope this helps a little. Maybe somebody out there who knows the song can add something.

 

YIS

Mike

In my son's troop, Announcements went

 

Announcements! Announcements! Announcements!

 

What a horrible way to die!

What a horrible way to die!

What a horibble way to be bored to death!

What a horrible way to die!

 

Announcements! Announcements! Announcements!

 

SPEAK FREAK!

 

I always thought that the ending added a bit of class to the song. :-)

The version we sang went:

 

Announcements! Announcements! Announcements!

 

A terrible way to die!

A terrible way to die!

What a terrible way to be bored to death!

A terrible way to die!

 

But I heard a verse after it that went something like:

 

Our cow is dead -

Our cow is dead -

And since we have no cow -

We have no need for your bull.

 

I would like to know if anyone knows how the verse actually went.

We have no use for your bull now!
