Songs

It’s a World of Steichens

Sung to the tune of the “It’s A Small World” song

Created by Chuckawagon Carol and Morning Glory Molly at the 1977 Perrots Post, WI STEICAMP

It’s a world of Steichens from everywhere
Lots of brothers, sisters, cousins too
There’s so much that we share
So that we are here
For a week of fun and fair.

What a fun time we will have
What a good time we will have
What a grand time we will have
With so many Steichens here.

We will laugh and talk and sit by the trees
We will fish and water ski
There’s so much that we share
We’re so glad that we are here
For a week of fun and fair.

Herman the Worm

The favorite song at STEICAMP campfires!

I waaaaaas sittin’ on my fence post chewin’ my bubblegum [chew chew chew chew]
Playin’ with my yo-yo, “Doo-wop Doo-wop!”
When along came Herman the worm… [Make a worm movement with arm]
And he was THIS big! [Hold up hands in emphasis: small]
And I said HERMAN, what’s up wit’chu man?
And he said, “I ate ONE bug…”[Hold up fingers in emphasis]

x4 – Getting bigger every time

I waaaaaas sittin’ on my fence post chewin’ my bubblegum [chew chew chew chew]
Playin’ with my yo-yo, “Doo-wop Doo-wop!”
When along came Herman the worm… [Make a worm movement with arm]
And he was THIS big again! [Hold up hands in emphasis: small]
And I said HERMAN!! What’s up wit’chu man??
And he said, “I burped!” [Shrug]

STEICAMP Reunions

Sung to the tune of “Armor Hot Dogs” song

Created by Mustang Mark

STEICAMPs, Steichen reunions!
What kinds of families go to STEICAMPs?
Big ones, little ones, ones who camp on cots!
Close ones, far ones, even ones with other last names
Love STEICAMPs, Steichen reunions!
The camp where family love grows!

I Wish I Were At STEICAMP On Vacation

Sung to the tune of the “I Wish I Were An Oscar Meyer Weiner” song

Created by Mustang Mark

Oh, I wish I were at STEICAMP on vacation,
That is where I’d truly like to be.
Cause if I were at STEICAMP on vacation,
I would be ‘round my family!
