at my daughter’s Brownie pack, when a new Brownie is invested the parents waiting at pick up are invited in to share in the short ceremony, which involves the new brownie making her Brownie promise. then 3 cards are drawn at random from a pile; each has a brownie song on it.
At a recent investment one such card was ‘Auntie Monica’. All was going well until about the fourth verse, when me and one of the other Dad’s nearly died of asphyxia due to suppressed giggling.

Oh! I had an Auntie
An Auntie Monica
And when she goes out shopping
They all go “Oo la la!”
Because her hat is swaying (brownies make motion of a hat swaying
Her hat is swaying so
Because her hat is swaying
Her hat is swaying so
Oh! I had an Auntie
An Auntie Monica
And when she goes out shopping
They all go “Oo la la!”
Because her feather’s swaying (make action of a feather boa swaying)
Her feather’s swaying so
Because her feather’s swaying
Her feather’s swaying so
Oh I had an Auntie….
Because her muff is swaying…
Because her skirt is swaying…
