Here We Go Around The World Centres

Tune: Here we go 'round the Mulberry Bush"

Chorus

Here we go around the World
Here we go around the World
Here we go around the World
To visit……OUR CHALET.

At OUR CHALET we meet the Swiss;
On mountain heights we climb like this,
We might see a goat, or an Eidelweiss,
All at OUR CHALET

Chorus (change last line to)
To visit PAX LODGE

From PAX LODGE we see the sights
Of London Town and city lights
We meet the English on rainy nights
While we're cosy at PAX LODGE.

Chorus :…..
To visit OUR CABANA

OUR CABANA's in Mexico
And off to a bull fight we all go
Arts and crafts to children we show
When saying at OUR CABANA.

Chorus….
And now we go to SANGAM

India's SANGAM is far away
But we'll see the life of Old Bombay
We'll dance and sing all through the day
When we go to SANGAM.

These are the centres for Girl Scouts or Guides
We think of them with joy and pride
For we have travelled far and wide
All around the World.

(Actions can be added, and the chorus could be danced)
