9-1-1 HELP
Greater St. Louis Area Council
Tune “My Bonnie”
Emergencies they will answer,
They’re always a phone call away
They come when they’re needed most promptly
And for you they will most surely stay
Chorus:
Nine-one-one
Nine-one-one
We call on them when we need HE…LP
Medics are your friends and my friends
They answer their calls so fast
They come when they are needed so greatly
And always will stay to the last.
Chorus:
The firemen too answer calls
A fire is scary to see
But when they come oh so quickly
They put out the fire with glee
Chorus:
We often need a policeman
And 9-1-1 will get one there
Be sure that you know your address
Of this you should always be aware
Chorus:
I Am Proud-
Greater St. Louis Area Council
Tune “Yankee Doodle Dandy”
I am proud to be a Cub Scout
It makes me want to sing and shout
I wear a uniform of blue and gold,
It’s really a sight to behold
You would like to be a Cub Scout
I know without a single doubt
I do my best to do my duty
That’s what Cub Scouting is about.
Thinking Safety
San Gabriel, Long Beach Area, Verdugo Hills Councils
Tune: Clementine
In the kitchen, Dad was cooking,
Frying chicken in some oil.
Said he’d go out to do the shopping,
Just as dinner tried to boil!
Thinking Safety, I remembered,
Told him, “Dad! Turn off the heat!”
Using caution is more important
Than preparing supper meat.
At the table was a candle
Mom had lit to cheer the room.
Matches sitting on the counter
Made me feel a sense of doom.
Thinking Safety, I remembered,
Told her, “Mom, this I must teach,
Keep the matches and the lighters
Out of little sister’s reach!”
In the bedroom, brother studied,
Working oh so diligently,
Stereo, TV, heater, computer,
All plugged in the same circuitry.
Thinking Safety, I remembered,
Told him, “Bud, that’s not too wise!
You should unplug some electronics
Before that one connection fries!”
Fire prevention can be easy,
Just have care at every turn.
Use your good sense and some planning
To prevent unwanted burn.
Dial 911
San Gabriel, Long Beach Area, Verdugo Hills Councils
Tune: Three Blind Mice
Dial 911
Dial 911
If you are hurt
If you need help
If someone has fallen and can't get up
Run to the phone and pick it up
Stay on the line and don't hang it up
Help will come.
5. say “the end”.
I Wish I Were A Volunteer
Greater St. Louis Area Council
Tune “Oscar Meyer Weiner”
Oh, I wish I were a volunteer fireman,
That is what I’d really like to be.
‘Cuz if I were a volunteer fireman,
Everyone would look up to me.
I’d climb a ladder up high to save babies.
I’d battle fire, smoke and burning steam.
I’d wear my big, red fireman’s cap proudly,
And polish my badge until it gleamed.
I’d rescue cats from limbs in very tall trees
And do inspections very carefully,
I’d teach the kids to all be fire detectives
‘Cuz then my job would be so easy
By the Blazing Council Fire Light
Greater St. Louis Area Council
Tune “’Til We Meet Again”
By the blazing council fire’s light
We have met in comradeship tonight
Round about the whispering trees
Guard our golden memories
And so before we close our eyes in sleep
Let us pledge each other that we’ll keep
Scouting friendships strong and deep
‘Til We Meet Again
Fireman’s Song
Timucua District, North Florida Council
(No tune was listed in either spot I found this song. So make one up or if you know – E-mail me. CD)
Behold the noble Fireman, all dressed in red and black.
He climbs the tilted ladder with a rope upon his back.
An axe he carries by his side, a helmet on his head,
He goes to fight the fire, most powerful and dread.
He is our unsung hero, this man of brawn and might,
And to watch him fight a fire is a great and wondrous sight.
Fire Prevention
Baltimore Area Council
Tune: Clementine
Check your hallways, check your closets,
And underneath the stairwell, too.
For if you’ve piled lots of junk there,
A big fire may call on you.
Dirty paint rags, piled up papers,
Frayed extension cords won’t do.
Fire prevention is the answer,
All cub Scouts must follow through.
Prevent Fires
Baltimore Area Council
Tune: Are you Sleeping?
Prevent fires, prevent fires,
Do your part, do your part,
Check your house for hazards,
Check your house for hazards,
You’ll be smart. You’ll be smart.
Hunt for hazards, hunt for hazards,
Clean them out, clean them out.
Help protect your family,
Help protect your family,
Have no doubt, have no doubt.
Old Macdonald’s Fire
Baltimore Area Council
Tune: Old McDonald Had A Farm
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.
And on this farm he had some woods, E-I-E-I-O.
With a chop-chop here, and a chop-chop there,
Here a chop, there a chop,
Everywhere a chop-chop.
Old MacDonald had some woods, E-I-E-I-O.
Then Old MacDonald lit a match, E-I-E-I-O.
And he was careless burning trash, E-I-E-I-O.
With a spark-spark here, and a spark-spark there,
Here a spark, there a spark,
Everywhere a spark-spark.
Old MacDonald burned his woods, E-I-E-I-O.
(Sing this very slowly)
Through carelessness, he burned his woods, E-I-E-I-O.
Now, Old MacDonald has no woods, E-I-E-I-O.
With a ash-ash here, and a ash-ash there,
Here an ash, there an ash,
Everywhere an ash-ash.
Old MacDonald has no woods, E-I-E-I-O.
London’s Burning
Baltimore Area Council
(A Round)
London’s burning London’s burning,
Look yonder, look yonder,

Baltimore Area Council
