| Tune: "Happy Phantom" by Tori Amos: |
| And if I die today it means
I missed my mooring...
And Naomi can't deal with paranoid campers...
And Liz hates june bugs but loves Hershey Kisses...
And Jessica we live in a tent...
And Katie likes to make executive decisions...
The Ad-Sailors have...the right to shower
Woo-Hoo the time is getting closer
Woo-Hoo the time to right our boats
Woo-Hoo just because we capsized
Doesn't mean we can't
Sail our boats
On the bay
Yeah.
*****I can't remember the rest of the verses. If anyone still
remembers them or has them written down somewhere I'd love to get

| One
Tin Soldier
Listen Favorite to a story
that was written Session 2
About Ad-Sailors in Sleepy Hollow
And their awesome counselors too
Long Pond Wind
Oh the pleasant bay wind
Is a relentless wind
A wind that fills
Our mercuries sails
And we as crew and skippers too
Will always be salty and crusty
"This Used To Be My Playground" by Madonna
We use to use the trash can
But now we just use the floor
The explorers want the golden broom
But were not clean enough for them
no no song
No, no, no, no, we don't sail no more
We've injured all the boats at the bay
One we tipped over and the others have holes
And then there was that icky high wind day
"Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" by the Beatles
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da
We sail on, ya even though our rudders gone (2x)
In a couple of days we'll have lost every last one
We don't even know how we could break them all
Even though we still had fun.
"Amazing Grace"
Amazing Clare
How sweet her yell
She gets us their on time
And Becca gives us three minute starts
That's the only way we'll go.
"Get Back" by the Beatles
Jo Jo was a counselor who tought she was a camper
But she knew it wouldn't last
Jo Jo left her home in southern London, England
For some gympy Girl Scout camp
Rise and Shine
Becca she wanted to help up a capsized boat (2x)
But the guy helped her by her gluteus maximus
So Rise and shine and help an old geezer geezer (2x)
Maybe he'll lose his hat named Edith Edith
Grab Becca dear
Reindeer Song
My spinnaker flys sideways
Yours dosn't at all
My spinnaker is perfect
Yours collapsed when you gybed
ha haha hahaha
If You're Happy and You
Know It
Two watches at the bottom of the bay (2x)
Two watches and a tiller (2x)
Two watches at the bottom of the bay
"Yesterday" by the Beatles
Yesterday we were driven out to the bay
We sailed to Nauset and froze all day
But we had fun all yesterday
One Tin Soldier
Now you know about Ad-sailors
We'll all miss Camp Favorite
We'll be back to be the counselors
When we reach the age limit

| Ad Sailors Session V, 1996: |
| Tune: "Ironic" by Alannis Morissette |
| Ad sailors there are 19 of us
We live in Sunrise with four counselors
They are Becky, Trish, Becca, and Clare
We wish that they are always there
Mr sail it safe was afraid to stand
He packed the phish mobile
and came to GS camp
He waited his whole damn life just to leave his mom
And as the boat went down
He thought, dude well isn't this nice.
It's like rain on the first day
It's capsizing when your already late
It's Stack's advice that you just had to take
And who would have thought you'd capsize
Becky and Clare are our co-UL's
They take us to the bay and lose the cell phone
Trish works on the water front she's been real nice
Becky and Clare try to get us to flag
But every morning we seem to drag
It's like rain on the first day
It's hypothermia when there's no cell phone
We rode the waves at Nauset beach
And who would have thought we'd sail topless
Becca Becca she comes to the bay
We love her so much
We wish that we could stay
It's the end of the year for all of us
We'll be back next year
Miss this place so much
It's like rain on the first day
It's no wind during the LPI
Time flys by when your having fun
We proved that theory Fifth session
And who would have thought its over |

| Tune: Medley (tunes in italics) |
| "untouchable face" by Ani DiFranco
Think I'll go for a sail now
Feeling a little unsteady
No one to follow me
Except maybe the whaler
I can make you capsize
If you hadn't already
Really we can sail
And sometimes we do
To tell you the truth we'd rather sail on the bay
Or if Biff's mad we'll sail on the pond
The ponds not really our type
But we'll sail forever
We want to tell you we go together
Jib you and your untouchable race
And jib you for getting first place
And who are we to object to the ad-staff
And who are we to be late for flag
"Summer Lovin" from Grease
Summer camp had me a blast
Can't believe it's over so fast
Met 3 counselors crazy like me
Chased some boys cute as can be
Camping days drifting away uh oh to out-going day
"Like a Prayer" by Madonna
Willow is a mystery
Like his manski scarpeti
He draws and windsurfs too
And is a real cool dude
"Bitch" by Meredith Brooks
This is Becca all rolled into one
She's a sailor, drives a whaler
And she fights well with a bailer
She's our savoir on the bay
And she rights boats everyday
She's our friend till the end
And doesn't care for trends
You know we wouldn't want her any other way
"Material Girl" by Madonna
She's Sabrina and she's our UL
And she brought us into her world
We love her
And with us she will come to the bay
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry
And she thinks that's ok
If you don't give her proper respect
She'll just walk away
Separation Blues
See that skipper sailing cross the bay (2)
Well you see that skipper sailing cross the bay
Oh Jeff got lost on the way
Cause you know woo ya know woo ya gotta get to the bay
Well you see us dancin in our underwear(2)
Well you see us dancin in our underwear
Oh yes sir we love to be bare
Cause ya know woo ya know woo we got the strip teasing blues
You see that magician sitting next to his hat (2)
You see that magician sitting next to his hat
oh yes sir Frank he's all that
Cause you know woo ya know woo you got the franky panky blues
Rise and Shine

| Ad Sailors Session I, 2000: |
| Tune: "Stay" by Lisa Loeb |
You know, that we all love you
Camp says, that we’re so obnoxious but
Where would you be without us
This is where we belong
And now that we are leaving
We hope that tradition lives on
And we’ll miss you
Yeah, we love you
We sail with or without wind
Every second’s great
As long as you’re there with us and
We would follow Lizzy and Charlotte anywhere
Don’t understand why it’s so unfair
We have to leave tomorrow, don’t want to go
So we put the centerboard down and pull the sails up
And Charlotte’s by our side
Charlotte lets loose on the way to the bay
She can’t start the whaler but we love her anyways
And then there’s Piglet who we thought was so innocent
Until we heard she snogged Fat Dan, well
She’s sweet and we can’t believe we’ll have to
let her go
We shared our smiles with you
And now all we can do is look back on our laughter
And think of all the memories we shared with you
Becky is our chosen one
And she guides us along
She thought we were too lazy and too loud
But will she cry when we are gone
And we’ll miss you
Yeah, we love you
Lizzy’s there when we need her
She’ll never let us fall
She tries to give us all her knowledge
To fill our sails and souls once we have gone away
We want to stay
We say that we all love you

| Tune:"The General" by Dispatch |
|
CHORUS:
I have seen the weather and I have discovered
that this wind is so worth sailing
I have raised my sails and untied my mooring
And I'm ready for the bay
So, catch a puff and trim your sails
You got no time to bail
You're heeling you must be hiking
So, catch a puff and trim your sails
You've got no time to bail
You're heeling you must be hiking
Go now you should be racing
There was a brand new bay director with a heart of gold
Her name was Socks and we loved her so
She told us of her sailing team way up in Maine
Got so cold it was frickin' insane
It rained and poured for nearly a week
Till the sun came out and we totally freaked
Sweety sat in the van with the heat on high
Roo drove the whaler as we checked out the guys
And every morning we walked out of our tents and we said

| Ad-Sailors Session ???, 2006: |
| Tune: "Wonderwall" by Oasis |
|
Today is gonna be the day
that we’re gonna tell it all to you,
By now you should’ve somehow realized that we all grew.
We don’t believe that anybody sails the way we do,
On the bay.
Way up in Sunrise Hill where the Ad-Sailors all hang out,
Dry sail, the crew team off the hill
and the little froggies jump about.
We don’t believe that anybody sails the way we do,
On the bay.
CHORUS:
And all the days we’ve sailed the bay were sunny,
And all the lunches that we had were funny.
There were many winds that we tried to sail around,
But we didn’t know how.
But maybe it’s not all about the theory,
It’s about our lives, and how much we strive.
We have four amazing friends
that guide us as we race around,
Ms. Socks and Ms. Finn taught us how not to run aground,
What a laugh, we love our staff,
Even when they forget to bring the whaler key.
Bean sits on the beach identifying rocks all day,
Kix thinks of us on the pond as all her boats sail away.
I didn’t know that anybody could eat so much fluff,
In one day.
CHORUS
But maybe it’s not all about the theory,
It’s about our lives, and how much we strive.

| Tune: "Time of Your Life" by Green Day |
|
Another two weeks are gone,
memories forever in our minds.
Time flys by when you're here at Favorite.
We had the flood, but our counselors were the best.
They were Daffy, Mia, Rogue, Grace, and Dex.
CHORUS:
Camp is unpredictable, but in the end it's fun,
I hope you had the time of your life
We took the photographs and went on GCATTS.
We played mafia and had a reverse raid.
So many memories and not enough time.
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

| CITs Session I, 1998: |
| Tune: Least Complicated |
Spent two weeks in upper Newport
We've got some very sad news to report
The kids are all going home
And we'll be all alone
So long ago when we set out
For camping we knew nothing about
Just stick the right counselors in
It's the solution for everything
And I remember the time when Pippa sprained her ankle
See her skipping around then falling to the ground
And she bought us some food cause she really is cool
What makes us think we could be good counselors
The harder we try it gets more complicated
So we'll just sit in our tents and resist
Our counselors trying to get us up for breakfast
I kind of conscientious objection
While Cathy sings at the top of her lungs
Molly's off to polar bears on the pond
And Cathy's still singing her song
Becca says nasty words
Which we can't repeat here
And I remember the time when Pippa mouned "Oh Tyler"
And made Panda blush
And stirred up a fuss
And we did it again and again and again
What makes us think we could be good counselors
The harder we try it gets more complicated (2x)
Just a mirror of a camper long ago
All the things we use to do
And the next time we're up here with a made up song
We won't be campers still
Two more weeks in upper newport
Many new campers of every sort
Therer are so many insects here
I'm getting sick of newport
And I remember the time when Gabby compared a man to a caterpillar
and ate her flashlight
And we'd like to thank you all cause you've really been cool
What makes us think we could be good counselors
The harder we try it gets more complicated (2x)

love our memories here,
it's part of us, our hearts are clear.
If i could chose to i'd stay here forever,
livin' with my C-I-Ts,
So, let our spirit stay behind,
i've got CITs on my mind.
CHORUS:

with Indie and Sway,
i love it when were CITing together
we learned to Bloom and Grow,

we would be lost without our staff,
Ringo was there to sit taps ~Fiah!~
Zilly helped us get closer and closer,
Now we're every part of eachother,
oh poppa
Sway's the real deal in our mind,
how could we leave him behind.
CHORUS
indie's here baby,
no time to cry,
her smile brightens our whole day,
and we want to, we'll wish forever,
i could just stay here beside you and love you indie,
let our spirit take your soul,
just remember the good times.

| Tune: House
at Pooh Corner |

Fluke and her CIT's all walked along
Camp Favorite paths the last week of July
Posing our questions 'bout the way camp was run
As our days seemed to pass all too soon.
Now its time to go back to the places we're from
But we don't want to leave our friends from Favorite fun.
CHORUS:
So help us if you can we've got to get,
Back to the houses and places we're from.
Instead of spending time here in the sun,
Got to get back to our lives,
Back to familiar skies,
We'll never forget the days that we've spent here with you.
We started as friends in two different tents
All living up in Sunrise,
Learning about the different jobs,
Fluke watching our campfire tries,
From our very first bonfire with faces aglow,
To now still good friends we don't want to go.
CHORUS
Divided in units but still close as one,
Was how our second week began,
Learning to deal with problems that come,
Lending out helping hands,
But we're past CIT now, completed and full,
But please do we really have to go?

| Tune: Theme from "The Brady Bunch" |
Here's the story, of 11 bikers,
Who came to Camp Favorite looking for fun,
they were assigned to the Sunrise Unit
not knowing they would have to walk so far
Du dunt dunt dunt
Here's the story of 4 counselors
An intern and a senior CIT
They were all brought to us
By their car or the bus
Du dunt dunt dunt
Megan and Elenka work on the sailing beach
Zuzanna, Nadine and Jamie bike with us
Anthony brings his guitar, and sings with us
Du Dunt Dunt Dunt
Then one Sunday when the bikers met the counselors
they knew that it was much more than a hunch
the bikers would reach 150
That's the way we all became the biker bunch
du dunt dunt da
The Biker bunch
du dunt dunt da
The Biker Bunch

That's the way we became the biker bunch

Have you ever been to Lakeview on the first week
of July,
Where all the fireworks are bursting in the sky.
With all the campers in the tents and the tents in Lakeview,
And all the Lakeview campers are having so much fun.
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamp Faaaaaaaaaaaavorite,
With all the campers in the tents and the tents in Lakeview,
Where all the fireworks are bursting in the sky.
Have you ever been to Lakeview while retiring the flag?
Just sitting there made us really sad.
With the fire burning bright and the pieces all alight,
With Lakeview and Fluke helping out.

| Tune: "Barney Song" |
I love camp, camp loves me!
We’re the best group definitely.
Newport rocks, we know it’s ture.
S’mores and More, Night Invaders too!
On the lake, four of us sail,
And windsurfers continue to fail.
Our Counselors, they love to sing!
KK is the next big thing!
On the porch, we had fun,
Trying to burn everyone.
Digger tried to tell us no,
But we still said go, go, go!
Mkali and Socks, on the lake,
Trying to save us from the wake.
Skittles can windsurf too,
We were in so long our lips turned blue.
Violet joined our group late,
Doesn’t matter cause she’s great.
Iggy’s short but so much fun,
She messed up our count a ton.
Steve the check makes our food,
He puts us in a good mood.
The best moment of them all,
Was messing up the Dining Hall!
We played the forced hydration game,
But we were thirsty all the same.
Dressing up the counselors was fun,
But Digger hid from everyone.
We love camp, camp loves me,
We’re a happy family.
It’s the end of the session and time to go,
We will miss Camp Favorite so!

Oh tell me have you seen
What’s on the trail today?
It’s something long and slow,
It’s riding on a bike.
It is the Bayou Bikers,
They are so tired and hyper,
With a Grace in front and a Tennah behind!
We went to mini-golf,
And we just had a ball.
Went on a bowling trip,
And Grace’s bike did tip.
Mkali, Fluke and Kix,
They joined the Biker 6,
KK rode as well and drew on us. |

What can make a Bayou Biker smile?
What can make them ride for more than a mile?
It’s not a closed up old light house,
It’s not a hostel with a mouse. That’s not what bikers
do!
They get stranded outside a licorice store.
They bike bike bike along the shore.
That’s what bikers do!
What can make a Bayou Biker smile?
What can make them ride for more than a mile?
It’s not windsurfing with KK,
It’s not going sailing on the Bay,
That’s not what bikers do!
They eat a lot of good ice cream,
They get super hyper and start to scream,
That’s what bikers do!
What can make a Bayou Biker smile?
What can make them ride for more than a mile?
It’s not us swimming when the water’s cold,
It’s not doing exactly what we’re told,
That’s not what biker’s do!
They get their hair braided by Kix at night,
They laughed at Miffy with delight,
That’s what bikers, that’s what bikers,
that’s what biker’s do!

Jewel |
I hear the clock, its seven a.m.
I feel so far from where I live
I got my socks, I got my shoes on too
I get my breakfast and its camp food
Back to the unit and we do our kapers
I kinda like it in my messy tent
Its impossible to see the bottom of the floor
We never put wet towels on the line anymore, cause
Sailing takes up all our time even in our minds
We know that camp goes fast, sailing on Long Pond
I was meant to sail and sailing was meant for me
Alex and Namoi always had their tea
JT always full of energy
Michelle got us showers everyday
Andrea dances in her funky ways
We danced around our tacky clothes
Just to make them laugh out loud
Cause we were happy then, now we’re sad
And we’re gonna miss them oh so bad
Sailing takes up all our time even in our minds
We know that camp goes fast, sailing on Long Pond
I was meant to sail and sailing was meant for me
Becca, Megan, Sarah, Elenka and Kira
They took us sailing everyday
Andrea and Becca they helped us too
So we could become a good crew
They took us sailing in the rain
It was cold but we loved it the same
Cause we were happy then and now we’re sad
And we’re gonna miss them oh so bad
Sailing takes up all our time even in our minds
We know that camp goes fast, sailing on Long Pond
I was meant to sail and sailing was meant for me |

We've got wind on a windless day
We love to sail but we capsize anyway
We tried to sail on the starting line
We can't but Kate thinks we're just fine
So I guess we say what can make us sail this way, tacking, gybing,
racing
talking 'bout sailing
sailing
Our toilets cloged more than once a day
Sara unclogs them and we like it that way
I guess Chris asks
What can make the smells so bad
Mildew on our pillows
Talking 'bout Sleepy Hollow, our unit
Toma our counselor yells when we're late
The one with the low shorts has got to be Kate
So I guess we say what can make them act this way
They are really inmature
talking 'bout our counselors, counselors
Kelly always chews on a cup of ice
Amanda scares us 'cause she is too happy and nice
So I guess you want to know
how many counselors are left to go
Only Elenka is left
Talking 'bout our counselors, counselors

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never skipper without you by my side
Then I spent so many days skippering on Long Pond
and I grew strong,
and I learned how to get along
And now we're back
from the Long Pond race
You should have seen
That look upon your suprized face
when we all came in first
and took away the gold
Because what we learned this session
has made us sail so bold
So now let's go
Right out that door
let's tack up wind now
Fear isn't welcome anymore
We want all our time to sail
And we will never fail
We will survive
We will survive
Hey hey!

Take you upwind and downwind
Tell me sailors, now when did you last let the wind decide?
They have opened our eyes
Romka, Jenny, Elenka
Tacking, gybing and heeling on a magic lunch sail ride
A whole new tack
On the waters of Long Pond
They’re there to tell us “No” and when to go
And tow us out of trouble
A whole new place, in the unit of Lakeveiw
When we are way out here the tents are clear
And counselors always smiling
Now I’m in a whole new mood with you
One minute i’m sad, next minute I’m smiling
Cause our counslers cheer us up
When we are feeling blue
A whole new day
They’re by our side
A hundred thousand hugs they give
Zilly’s our shining star, she’s helped us grow
We can’t believe we’ll have to let her go
Ollie’s our UL and she braids our hair
She takes us everywhere and Lizzy cares
We can always count on her for help
We love Kate too
She always knew just what to do
So please dont go
Just stay with me

is where I'd like to be
Sailing in the rain
For all eternity
For we only have 7200 minutes
and the whole pond left to see
but we can't go past the point while we're at camp
We've got Freckles who's from England,
and Sunny who's from Russia
And every morning she tells us,
"Girls! We have to GO!"
But we're always really slow
And Fox works in the kitchen
but she still hangs out with us
We'll be looking for our counselers here at camp

On the sailing beach there's Zephyr
and Socks and Rina too
They yelled 'cuz we missed the buoy
and headed in too soon
Tacking was a problem when we were in Headin' Up
and Sirocco started sinking in the pond
CHORUS
We'll miss them when we're leaving
reminiscing 'til we're back
and they'll stay within our hearts
and we'll remember how to tack
and though we may be mortal
and might never come back
some of us will stalk the sailing staff.
Last CHORUS:
On a sailboat on Long Pond
is where I'd like to be
sailing in the rain for all eternity
but our time has just run out and we'll have to leave behind
all the love we've shared throughout all this time

| Ahoy Sailors Session V, 2005: |

We are healing, we're gonna capsise
if you don't let out the main sheet
We might even die
Our boat has just turtled, we must get it up.
So pull on the dagger board,
Oh shoot it fell out!

| WAVE Session I, 2006: |
| Tune: "Barney Song" |
I love camp, camp loves me!
We’re the best group definitely.
Newport rocks, we know it’s ture.
S’mores and More, Night Invaders too!
On the lake, four of us sail,
And windsurfers continue to fail.
Our Counselors, they love to sing!
KK is the next big thing!
On the porch, we had fun,
Trying to burn everyone.
Digger tried to tell us no,
But we still said go, go, go!
Mkali and Socks, on the lake,
Trying to save us from the wake.
Skittles can windsurf too,
We were in so long our lips turned blue.
Violet joined our group late,
Doesn’t matter cause she’s great.
Iggy’s short but so much fun,
She messed up our count a ton.
Steve the check makes our food,
He puts us in a good mood.
The best moment of them all,
Was messing up the Dining Hall!
We played the forced hydration game,
But we were thirsty all the same.
Dressing up the counselors was fun,
But Digger hid from everyone.
We love camp, camp loves me,
We’re a happy family.
It’s the end of the session and time to go,
We will miss Camp Favorite so!

| Tune: Dinosaur Song |
| Chorus:
Me and my sailors, I’ve never had so many friends before.
We take up a tent 4 times and a half, we’re 50 times smaller
than any giraffe.
Legs long as the daggerboard, Teeth big as chocolate chips,
No eight people are buddies more than me and my sailors.
One afternoon it was cloudy and gray,
And I wanted people to come out and sail.
I heard a splish splash and looked at the lake,
And there was Miffy, Grace, Finn and Daff.
Chorus
We hopscotched to Sunrise as quick as the breeze,
While getting hit really hard by the boom.
And when we got thirsty stair after stair,
We stopped at the dining hall just for a sec!
Chorus
Me and my sailors, I’ve never had so many friends before.
We take up a tent 4 times and a half, we’re 50 times smaller
than any giraffe.
Legs long as the daggerboard, Teeth big as chocolate chips,
No eight people are buddies more than…
Nothing so fine as me and my sailors!
Boom boom!

| SCHOONER FARE Session ii, 2000: |
| Tune: "Can You Feel the Love
Tonight" |
Twenty girls in Sunrise
And we didn’t have a clue
How many animals we’d attract
And how much we could spew
We share a love for sailing
That brought us across the sea
And after all those late night watches
Camp is the Ritz to me
Can you feel the rocking boat
The wind that hits our face
The waves against our tiny bunks
That lulls us all to sleep
Natalie survived it
Although she was quite sick
The thought of leaving her, impossible
Tomorrow is too quick
Michelle was always smiling
She took us everywhere
She helped us all to pull together
We’ll miss her oh so much
Charlotte is out SanDee girl
She’s quite the sailor too
JC helped us when we needed her
We love them very much
We were the entertainment
On the pier that night
We will miss the Ernestina
And all her members too
And when we cry a lot tonight
It’s all because of you
Time passed by so very quickly
Because we were with you |

| TIPs (big kids) Session V, 2002: |
| Tune: "Wherever you will go" by The Calling: |
|
So lately been wondering
How could we ever leave this place
When we're gone we'll think of
The good times and the friendships we have made
When we felt we couldn't go on
You were there to pull us through
And we're standing here real strong because of all of you
If we could just tell you
How much you've helped us to become
The people we are now
And the people we will become
So Chelsea and Bubbles, Zilly, Erin and Susan were
Our counselors, our mentors
And we don't want to let them go
When we felt we lost our way
They were there to pull us through
We know theres someone out there
Who will cheer us when we're blue
If we could just tell you
How much that Favorite means to me
We've been here, we've grown here
And it will always stay with me
Just one more act to go
Goodbyes dont want to come
The tears are flowing through
If we could just tell you
How much you've helped us to become
The people we are now
And the people we will become
If we could just tell you
How much that Favorite means to me
We've been here, we've grown here
And it will always stay with me
If we could turn back time
Then maybe we'd realize
how much that Favorite means to us
And how much we love you
And how much we love you

| TIPS, Session II, 2005 |
| Tune: Time of Your Life |
|
Another two weeks are gone,
memories forever in our minds.
Time flys by when you're here at Favorite.
We had the flood, but our counselors were the best.
They were Daffy, Mia, Rogue, Grace, and Dex.
CHORUS:
Camp is unpredictable, but in the end it's fun,
I hope you had the time of your life
We took the photographs and went on GCATTS.
We played mafia and had a reverse raid.
So many memories and not enough time.
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

| Wet and Wild, Session I, 2006: |
| Tune: Have You Ever Been a Fishin' |
Have you ever been to Lakeview on the first week
of July,
Where all the fireworks are bursting in the sky.
With all the campers in the tents and the tents in Lakeview,
And all the Lakeview campers are having so much fun.
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamp Faaaaaaaaaaaavorite,
With all the campers in the tents and the tents in Lakeview,
Where all the fireworks are bursting in the sky.
Have you ever been to Lakeview while retiring the flag?
Just sitting there made us really sad.
With the fire burning bright and the pieces all alight,
With Lakeview and Fluke helping out.
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamp Faaaaaaaaaaaavorite,
With the fire burning bright and the pieces all alight,
With Lakeview and Fluke helping out. |

| Windsurfing, Session IV, 2004 |
| Tune: Spirit |
|
I've got a board that I've got to surf
There's no wind in my sail but I'm trying to turn
Water's moving under this board of mine
Got to open up my sail and let the wind blow
You take a little board and you add a lot of wind
You put them all together and you're windsurfing
Belle's yelling "Keep your masts up straight"
and Libby wants to know if we're okay
(Jumping and Clapping)
I've got a board that I've got to surf
There's no wind in my sail but I'm trying to turn
Water's moving under this board of mine
Got to open up my sail and let the wind blow
