we have decided to have an indoor camp evening on our last night before the summer, and i have been searching for camp songs, i dont know any, as i have never been camping.....

i would really like the words to princess pat. as it was taught to me a few years ago, i remember the tune just not the words.

The Princess PAt
lived in a tree
she sailed across
the seven seas
she sailed across
the channel too
and took with her
a rick-a-bam-boo

a rick-a-bam-boo
now what is that?
its something used
by the princess pat
its red and gold
and purple too
thats why its called
a rick-a-bam-boo

now the Captain Jack
has a mighty fine crew
they sailed across
the channel too
but his ship sank
and yours will too
if you dont take
a rick-a-bam-boo

a rick-a-bam-boo
now what is that?
its something used
by the princess pat
its red and gold
and purple too
thats why its called
a rick-a-bam-boo

Now the princess pat
lives in a barrat home
with a microwave oven
and a cordless phone
got a kenwood chef
and a hoover too
when she flushes the toilet
all the water turns blue

head and shoulders shampoo
now what is that?
its something used
by the princess pat
its frequent use
anti-dandruff too
thats why its called
head and shoulders shampoo

now the captain jack
collects income tax
drives a shiny red porsche
has a filofax
his boxer shorts
are made of silk
and he doesnt drink whisky
cause he only likes milk

a portaloo
now what is that?
its something used
by the princess pat
its white and blue
and smells of poo
thats why its called
a portaloo

Campfire Song Book : Princess Pat - words and midi file

I haven't checked the site cited, but please know that the "Princess Pat" isn't a popular song with the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. Originally the song began: The Princess Pat's Light Infantry. The song we sing is apparently a rip-off
of a regimental song.

The rick-a-dam-doo is apparently a version of the Scots Gaelic name for the regimental colours, which were sewn for them by Princess Patricia herself. (The colours are red, gold and purple).

Please don't get me wrong - we sing the song (with actions!) in Canadian Guiding, to be sure. Just know that the First and Second Battalions of the "Princess Pats" aren't impressed with us singing 'their' song.

this has been mentioned on here before
and a number of people were not impresses with the modified version and said it showed disrespect for an old regimental song
