Little Cabin In The Woods
Words & Music:
Traditional
One of my...um...more interesting
childhood memories is having to take a "tread water test" during
swimming lessons at summer camp.
Our swimming counselor made us sing this entire song – with hand
motions! – while treading water with only our legs. Oy!
