Ramblings of a Disorientated Mind

The ramblings, and occasional sanities, of a 20-something geekess from the UK

Campsite Medley

Part two of the recipes that I’ve collected while living at Geek Coalition HQ. All of these are incredibly easy, mostly suited to student/ bachelor living, and some of them are even good for you [maybe].

Fry some sausages and mushroom, and cut sausages once cooked. Cook shaped pasta/ rice and leek together and drain. Add pasta/ rice, sausage, mushroom and baked beans too one pan and heat through.

Corn Beef Hash

Part one of the recipes that I’ve collected while living at Geek Coalition HQ. All of these are incredibly easy, mostly suited to student/ bachelor living, and some of them are even good for you [maybe].

Fry an onion. At the same time prepare instant mash potato. Cut a tin of corn beef into chunks. Mix all of this together and then fry.

Campfire’s Burning

Campfire’s burning, campfire’s burning,
Draw nearer, draw nearer,
In the gloaming,in the gloaming,
Come sing and be merry

To the tune of ‘London’s burning’. Used as a call to the campfire, or as the first song once everone’s gathered.

Say Why

Say why must we ever say good bye,
Say why must we ever say good bye,
Say why must we ever say good bye,
Say why, say why, say why.

Say when will we ever meet again, x3

Say where and I’ll meet you right there x3

Say why must we ever say good bye,
Say when will we ever meet again,
Say where and I’ll meet you right there
Say why, say when, say where.

This song is usually sung at the end of an evening, especially when a camp is made up of many units. It is customary to keep singing until the last person/ group has left.

My poor meatball

On top of spaghetti,
all covered in cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table
and onto the floor
and then my poor meatball
rolled out of the door

it rolled down the garden
and under a bush
and then my poor meetball
was nothing but mush!

So, if you eat spaghetti,
all covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
and don’t ever sneeze.

To the tune of ‘on top of old smoky’

The lavatory Cleaner

My Father’s a lavatory cleaner,
He works in the loo’s all day long,
and when he comes home in the evenings
he smells of the smell of -

Chorus Shine your buttons with Brasso,
‘Tis only ten guineas a tin [a tin!]
You can buy it or chav it from woolies [oxfam]
but I doubt if they got any in!

Some say he did die of a seazure
Some say he did die of a fit,
but we all know what he did die of
he died of the smell of -

Some say he was buried in gravel
some say he was burried in grit
but we know what he was buried in,
a steaming great pile of -

Some say he did leave us a bit
but we all know what he did leave us,
he left us ten barrels of -

Our Sergeant Major

Our Sargent Major jumped from 40 thousand feet,
Our Sergeant Major jumped from 40 thousand feet,

and he ain’t gonna jump no more!

The cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn

Oh the cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn,
the doctor said it would do no harm,
so we all kicked nelly in the belly in the barn!

Second verse -
same as the first,
a little bit louder and a little bit worse!

Reapeat as many times as desired, getting louder and singing worse each time.
