ATC/STC - Songs and Cheers for Campfire

Dear Sec 2s and 3s,

For the ATC/STC that is coming up in a few weeks time, you will be singing some songs and cheers. As such, it is important for us to revise the various songs and cheers. Here are the lyrics. Please go through them and ensure that you know how to sing them. Emphasis to be placed on the songs whose titles are in bold. It is important that you learn these before the camp as I understand from my fellow Area CIs in charge of Campfire that they will not be able to spend too much time going through all these. In order to enjoy yourself during the camp and the campfire (which is arguably the most enjoyable part of the camp), you would need to know these.

If you have any questions, check with your squadmates. Also, feel free to approach any of your CLs or CIs. We will try to go through them during trainings if time permits.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

CI (NPCC) Sim Guo Chen

6. I asked My Love
I ask my love, to take a walk
To take a walk, down Orchard Road
By pass Mandarin, to Centerpoint
Where we had lunch, at MacDonald

We had fillet, and apple pie
And share a cup, of lemon lime
I hold her hands, look into her eyes
And asked her to, be my Valentine
Now I’m confined, in NPCC
I missed you so, my sweet honey
I promise you, when I booked out
I called you out, and date you out
There was one night, we went night hike
There was no light, so we use torchlight
Under the clear moonlight, look into her eyes
I asked her to, be my future wife
But she rejected me, she turned me down
She turned her head, and said goodbye
I was so sad, now she had gone
So I turned my way to the airport
When I reached the airport, I was alone
I looked around, and saw my love
There was one guy, standing beside her
I was so sad and departed
So I name this song, a sad sad song
Cos it breaks my heart, and filled it with tears
Oh my darling, now that you have gone
Left me alone to sing this song

7. Father Abraham
Father Abraham has seven children
Seven children has Father Abraham
Some of them are tall
Some of them are short
But none of them was bright.
