Favorite Camp Songs for Kids

Here are a few popular camp songs for kids that are often requested by the younger kids around the campfire.
Kids love to sing. When they get started on a song they love there's no stopping them! When you get sick of the racket, you'll just have to plug your ears and try not to hear, or just enjoy the childish fun...

Old MacDonald's Farm

Old MacDonald had a farm,
e-i-e-i-ooh!

And on that farm he had a cow,
e-i-e-i-ooh!

With a moo, moo here,
And a moo, moo there,
Here a moo, there a moo,
Everywhere a moo, moo,

Old MacDonald had a farm,
e-i-e-i-ooh!

(Continue with other animals by request. For example, horse, duck, chicken, dog, cat, pig...)

Little Red Caboose

Little red caboose,
Chug, chug, chug.
Little red caboose,
Chug, chug, chug.
Little red caboose behind the train,
Train, train, train.
Smokestack on his back,
Back back back.
Coming around the track,
Track, track, track.
Little red caboose behind the train,
TOOT, TOOT!

Down at the Station

Down at the station,
So early in the morning,
See the little puffer bellies,
All in a row,
Up comes the driver,
Pulls a little shuttle,
Puff, puff, toot, toot,
Off we go.
