Heres one to bring out the Boy Scout/Girl Guide in all of you. A
rousing campfire singalong song. This is the cleaned up lyric
version.
Intro,
5 -4 5 -4 4 4 -4 -3 -3 -3 -3
//There's a quar-ter-mas-ter/ev-'ry-bo-dy knows/
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -4 4 -3 4 -4 5
there's a song a-bout him/this is how it goes,/
5 -4 5 -4 4 5 -4 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3
just a lit-tle dit-ty/does-n't mean a thing, but/
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 4
when the boys are march-ing how they/
-3 -4 6
love to sing./
Refrain,/verses
3 4 5 5
//:There was cheese, cheese,/
5 -4 4 -3 3 4 5 -4 4 -4
waft-ing on the breeze, in the/stores in the/
5 3 4 5 5
stores, there was/ham, ham,/
5 -4 4 -3 3 4 5
mixed up with the jam in the/
-4 -5 5 -4 4 3 4 5~-4 4 -3
quar-ter-mas-ters/stores my/eyes are-- dim I/

6 -3 4
specs with/me
v.2 There was bread, bread just like lumps of
lead,
In the stores, in the stores,
There were buns, buns
Bullets for the guns,
In the quartermaster's stores.
My eyes are dim, I cannot see, etc.
v.3 There were mice, mice
Eating up the rice
In the stores, in the stores
There were rats, rats
Big as blooming cats
In the quartermaster's stores.
My eyes are etc.
v.4 There was meat, meat
Meat you couldn't eat
In the stores, in the stores,
There were eggs, eggs
Nearly growing legs
In the quartermaster's stores.
My eyes are dim etc.
v.5 There is beer, beer
Beer you can't get near
In the stores, in the stores,
There is rum, rum
For the General's tum
In the quartermaster's stores.
My eyes are dim etc.
v.6 There was cake, cake
Cake you couldn't break
In the stores, in the stores,
There were flies, flies
Feeding on the pies
In the quartermaster's stores
My eyes are dim etc.
You can add verses ad infinitum and those of your own invention. Have
a great singalong
Yours Harmusman |
