Blue Jay

This song is a useful one to have tucked away in your head - easy words, and call and response songs are always a fallback if the fire don't know many words themselves.

Down in the meadow not so very far off,    (echo)
Blue Jay died of the whooping cough,    (echo)
He whooped so hard with the whooping cough,    (echo)
He whooped his head and his tail right off.    (echo)

Remember that you don't need to just use volume - changes to the timing and higher and lower pitched verses make it more interesting for everyone, and that saves your voice a bit as well.
