The Campfire Circle: Bobby Bingo

This is another really old song - there are versions dating back to the 1780s - but it is a good one for younger groups. Each time through, drop a letter from the spelling of B-I-N-G-O. Most times, the group's done with it when you get to five claps, but if they're not, go back through replacing the claps with letters again.

There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,
There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,

B - I - N - G - O,

And Bingo was his name-o.

There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,
There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,

[clap] - I - N - G - O,

And Bingo was his name-o.

There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,
There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,

[clap] - [clap] - N - G - O,

And Bingo was his name-o.

There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,
There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,

[clap] - [clap] - [clap] - G - O,

And Bingo was his name-o.

There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,
There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,

[clap] - [clap] - [clap] - [clap] - O,

And Bingo was his name-o.

There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,
There was a farmer, had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o,

[clap] - [clap] - [clap] - [clap] - [clap],

And Bingo was his name-o.

A version of this that my explorer scouts like is:

I know a man who had a duck
I hit it with my pickup truck
S P L A T, S P L A T, S P L A T
I hit it with my pick up truck.

Nice, thank you. That will be used later in the year, I think :)
