Current Entry: Shrub Song
The service project at Winter Camp IX involved clearing brush from behind the Trout Lake building for a new summer staff campsite. As Arrowmen cut and cleared shrubs and trees, another pair of original Winter Camp tunes, "What Shall We Do With The Drunken Shrubman?" (modifying slightly the lyrics to "What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor?") and "The Shrub Song" were improvised and sung with great enthusiasm. Tragically, no one thought to preserve these songs at the recording session held at camp that year.
The Shrub Song
Oh--the woods are full of shrubs;
The shrubs are full of grubs;
So carry the shrubs, and carry them well;
Carry them all, and all will be swell.
