All the same, those campfire songs... This one is just about my favorite, and tonight the only verses I could remember were "tweety bird" and "fishy". After googling the song, I managed to research and develop (some of the lyrics I saw were rhythmically problematic) a full eight verses! The last three verses are new to me. It also seems to me that there might be a verse about a duck (ducky)? If someone knows it, please share!
(Sung to the same tune as "If You're Happy and You Know It") Here ya go:
O I wish I were a little bar of soap (bar of soap)
I wish I were a little bar of soap (bar of soap)
I’d slippy and I’d slid-y over everybody’s hidey
O I wish I were a little bar of soap
O I wish I were a little tweety bird (tweety bird)
I wish I were a little tweety bird (tweety bird)
I’d sit up on the steeple and I’d spit on all the people
O I wish I were a little tweety bird
O I wish I were a fishy in a brook (in a brook)
I wish I were a fishy in a brook (in a brook)
I’d swim around so cutie and without my bathing suity
O I wish I were a fishy in a brook
O I wish I were a little mosquito (mosquito)
I wish I were a little mosquito (mosquito)
I’d buzzy and I’d bitey under everybody’s nightie
O I wish I were a little mosquito
O I wish I were a little can of beer (can of beer)
I wish I were a little can of beer (can of beer)
I’d go down with a slurp and I’d come up with a burp
O I wish I were a little can of beer
O I wish I were the root of a tree (of a tree)
I wish I were the root of a tree (of a tree)
I’d stick up on the trail and then flip you on your tail
O I wish I were the root of a tree
O I wish I were a hungry little goat (little goat)
I wish I were a hungry little goat (little goat)
I’d crunchy and I’d munchy right through ev’rybody’s lunchie
O I wish I were a hungry little goat
O I wish I were a little spotted cow (spotted cow)
I wish I were a little spotted cow (spotted cow)
I’d give milk out of my udder and then churn it into butter
O I wish I were a little spotted cow
