SONGS, SPARKLERS, AND CHEERS/02-03

SONG: "BANQUET TIME" 

(Tune – On Top of Old Smoky) 
Our Blue and Gold banquets, 
The best in the town, 
We celebrate scouting, 
While gulping food down, 
Cub Scouting’s a pleasure, 
And eating is too!
Do pass the fried chicken, 
Yea, the Gold, and Blue

 

 

 

 

 

 

BLUE & GOLD SONG

(Tune – Jingle Bells)
 While dashing out to find,
Things for Blue and Gold,
 We made some nifty napkin rings,
 And placemats to behold,
(Chorus)
Blue and Gold, Blue and Gold,
Banquet time is here,
Time to sing and celebrate,
Cub Scouting’s seventy-fourth year!
The nut cups, they were neat,
The name tags were just right,
Oh, what fun it is to have,
A Blue and Gold tonight!
(Chorus)
