Seminole Hut Songs

Tune: Old Black Joe
1st Girls, 1958

Gone are the days when we roamed the Chico hill
Gone are the times, but the memories linger still,
Across the creek, we went to the best hut of all
We hear the happy campers calling Seminole.

Chorus:

We're happy, so happy, we've reached the Seminole Hut,
But now are goal stands right before us, Honor Hut.

At the Pony Grove, or inside Stockham Hall,
We have the girls that are the best sports of all,
We have the leaders so brave and bold,
And every night when taps is blown we do as we're told.

Repeat Chorus

Tune: You Are My Sunshine

We are the Seminoles, we are the Seminoles,
We are the best hut in the camp.
We might be small but we still have spirit,
For we are the Seminoles.

(Repeat with claps)
Yea! Seminole!

I'm a hayseed, my hair is seaweed,
And my ears are made of leather
And they flop in windy weather;
Gosh all hemlock, I'm tough as a pine knot;
I'm a Seminole can't you see, rah! rah!

(Repeat with claps)

Cheer girls, cheer, for we are Seminoles;
Cheer girls, cheer, for we are Seminoles,
And when we meet those tribes,
We'll fill 'em full of holes --
There'll be a hot time in the old camp tonight!
Oh, Baby!

(Repeat with claps)

Tune: Grand Ole Flag

We're a good ole hut
Everyone is a nut
We fall down all the time
On our knees
But we laugh and play
The livelong day
Comanches, we're learning
To please.
Every camper here
Is full of pep and good cheer
Spreading love to the friends
We have found,
We'll treasure these few days at camp
Oh we love you Seminoles.

Sem, Sem, Seminole

Sem, Sem, Seminole,
Best hut in the camp
We are tops in all we do
We are the Seminoles.

Stand 'em on your head,
Stand 'em on your feet,
Seminole, Seminole,
Can't be beat.

Tune: Over Hill Over Dale - The Caisson Song
1971

Seminole, Seminole, Honor Hut is our main goal,
At our dear old Camp Winnataska.
We are small, we are brats
And our hut is full of rats.
And the Mansions are 2 blocks away.

But we love it just the same,
In our hearts it will remain
And it's spirit will never ever change.
Seminole!
But we love it here and so through all the years
We'll remember our Seminole hut.

Seminole, Seminole, Honor Hut is our main goal
At our dear old Camp Winnataska.
When we leave, we will grieve
For the love that we've received
As our camp days have all come and gone.

But we love it just the same,
In our hearts it will remain
And it's spirit will never ever change.
Seminole!
But we love it here and so through all the years
We'll remember our Seminole Hut.

Tune: Come Saturday Morning

At Camp Winnataska
We started a life that was new.
So many new friends came into our hearts.
In Seminole, our spirit is true.
Our smiles fill our hearts with joy of our love.
And we have had fun here,
Which we will remember after we've left Seminole.

Tune: Green Acres
4th Girls, 1973

Winnataska is the place to be
Camp living is all right for me
We swim, we boat, we play and we ride
Ending each day with memorable hillside.

Even though we are the youngest here
We have found our place and hold it dear.
And you'll find our spirit's never down.
This just proves that Seminole's best around.

The fun.
The sun.
The sights.
Grail Night.

You are the best
Of all the rest
Seminole hut you're for me.

Tune: Penny Lane
1st Girls, 1976

In Seminole we've found a hut that we have learned to love.
Helping hands and loving hearts show us the way
And all this love has helped to make us grow
In Seminole.

Every day at camp we sing and laugh our time away
And know our camp's a precious gift from God above
We never want to go away
How we long to stay.

Chorus:

Seminole - we feel your love embrace our hearts
Here our life at camp forever starts.

Although that Winnataska is a new experience
You've made us love you like we've known you all our lives
And though we leave, your special love survives
It's touched our lives.

Seminole - we feel your love embrace our hearts
Here our live at camp forever starts
Seminole!

Tune: Winnie the Pooh

Deep in the heart of Winnataska
There's a hut that we've come to love
It's small but it's here we've come to know
The beauty sent down from above.

Chorus:

Seminole hut, Seminole hut
We're little but we're happy
And we act like nuts
We're the Seminole hut, Seminole hut
And there's no where else that we'd rather be.

Indian Night and Holy Grail
Galilean and Song Night, too
Are all a very special part
Of what makes our camp dreams come true.

Chorus

Here we have found so many friends
That we'll carry home in our hearts
The Seminole spirit is deep in our lives
The love found here will never part

Chorus
Repeat last line

And there's nowhere else like Seminole Hut!

Tune: The Bear Necessities

Chorus:
We are the crazy Seminoles
Those sweet as honey Seminoles
Remind you of your favorite T.V. show
'Cause we're those crazy Seminoles
We learn to love and laugh ya know
Our hearts will always be in Seminole.

Where ever we wander
Where ever we go
We'll always remember our Seminole home
I made a wish and counted three
And found a place made just for me
A bunch of girls in a big ol' hut with
Peachy personalities
(Spoken) Squish 'ems just like me!
And we're the happiest Seminoles you'll ever see!

Chorus

As Seminoles we've learned to love
God sent his guidance from above
Spirit's bright and happy faces
With hearts aglow
We've learned to grow in Seminole.

We'll see the smile of every girl
Spreading a chain of love
Around the world
The memories that will last forever of Seminole
Winnataska - we love you so.

As these camp days come to a close
We'll see that each special girls knows
The friendships that will last forever,
Though we may say goodbye
Trying to reach our goals
We set so high.

Tune: Consider Yourself

The Seminoles are here,
So listen while we sing to you.
There's never a need to fear,
We're here, you'll never again be blue.

We've waited so long to come,
From Chico Hill to Seminole.
And now that we're here, it's fun
From morn to the setting of the sun.

Faithful to be honor of our hut
Seminole until we die, swimming, boating, riding, hiking, too.
There is so much we can do.
So¼.

Seminoles join hands
And sing with all your heart,
For our laughter, good times, happiness, or just plain fun
We'll always be a part.
Seminole!

Tune: Sadie from Funny Girl
3rd Girls, 1970

Isn't this the height of camping days?
Going through the crush of Blackfoot phase.
Well, a bit of heart break never hurt,
Jerry's on his 21st dessert.
Do Seminoles do just what they should do
When leaders aren't around?
It's a feeling we like feeling very much.

Do we do the things they tell us to?
Up at midnight, what would Collins do?
In our souls we feel an inner lack
Just suppose we will not hit the sack.
Seminoles we think you're special in every single way.
Hey, Seminoles, we really want to stay!

Tune: Merry, Merry Month of May
4th Girls, 1970

We were walking through the camp one day.
Someone came and showed us the way
Up the hill to the hut
That we all love so much,
The happy, happy hut called Seminole.

We found ourselves a nice soft bed
Where we could lay down our heads
In the hut that we all know.
We are always on the go
In the happy, happy hut called Seminole.

In the days we sing and have such fun,
Even when we have to run.
And the nights are filled with glee.
They bring such joy to me
In the happy, happy hut called Seminole.

When time for us to go rolls along
We'll remember this happy song.
It will bring back memories
Of the days that we shared here
In the happy, happy hut called Seminole.

Tune: A Hard Day's Night
4th Girls, 1972

It's been a long sunny day and we've been playing very hard,
It's been a long sunny day, we should be sleeping like a log,
But when the taps have been played and the prayers have been made,
We feel like jiving all night.

You know we work all day to get it done Margaret's way,
And it's worth it just to hear her say, "How's your P.M.A.?"
We like to hike, ride, and sing,
We like to do many things
As long as we're together
Seminole, the hut we'll always remember,
Seminole, to thee our love we surrender.

We will always love it here and will forever hold it dear,
And the friendships that we've made we will never, ever trade.
But when we must go home we'll remember this song
And we'll all sing along
Seminole, the hut we'll always remember
Seminole, to thee our love we surrender all.

Tune: Here Comes the Brides
1971
Seattle

The cutest girls you've ever seen are called the Seminoles.
The truest hearts, the purest minds they're famous for.

Chorus:

She's a beautiful child,
Acting up, acting wild,
Full of hopes and full of fears,
Full of laughter, full of tears,
Full of dreams to last the year,
That's the Seminoles, that's the Seminoles.

The girls that love their hut the most are called the Seminoles.
The've got the spirit and determination, too.

Chorus

The campers and the leaders, too, are full of pep and never blue.
Don't you wish that you could be one, too.

Chorus

Look out everyone cause here we are!

This old camp has a wee little hut,
Seminole is the name.
The campers there are the greatest yet.

Seminoles, yes we are.
We do the things that make us grow
Seminoles, yes we are.
