This is one of DS’s favorite scout songs. We hear this one a lot at camp, on hikes, and on hayrides. I’ll warn you that when they start singing this, they tend to sing it over and over and over again.
The best I can describe the tune is that it is sort of a rap style tune.
Bazooka Bubblegum Song
My mom gave me a penny
She told me to buy a henny
But I didn’t buy no henny
I just bought some bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
My mom gave me a nickel
She told me to buy a pickle
But I didn’t buy no pickle
I just bought some bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
My mom gave me a dime
She told me to buy a lime
But I didn’t buy no lime
I just bought some bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
My mom gave me a quarter
She told me to buy some water
But I didn’t buy no water
I just bought some bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
My mom gave me a dollar
She told me to buy a collar
But I didn’t buy no collar
I just bought some bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
My mom gave me a five
She told me to stay alive
But I didn’t stay alive
I just choked on bubblegum.
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
Bazooka-zooka bubblegum
