HAPPY WANDERER

I love to go a wandering
Along the mountain track
And as I go, I love to take
My knapsack on my back

Chorus
Valderi, valdera, valdera
Valder ha ha ha ha ha ha
Valderi, valdera
My knapsack on my back

I wave my hands to all I meet
And they wave back to me
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From every green wood tree

Chorus

Oh, may I go a wandering
Until the day I die
Oh, may I always laugh and sing
Beneath God's clear blue sky

Chorus

Oh, shall we go a wandering
Until we reach Ubin
We are going for ATC
Our knapsacks on our back

LINGER

Hmm, mm, I want to linger
Hmm, mm, a little longer here
Hmm, mm, a little longer here with you
Hmm, mm, it's such a perfect right
Hmm, mm, it's doesn't seem quite right
Hmm, mm, this is our last night here with you
Hmm, mm, when it comes to December
Hmm, mm, our camping days and friendship through
Hmm, mm, as the years goes by
Hmm, mm, I think of you and sigh
Hmm, mm, this is goodnight not good-bye

SING

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud, sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last the whole life long
Don't worry that its not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
La la la . . .

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love that could be
Sing for you and for me

TUNG SWA NANG (COUNTRY BUMPKIN)

I'm a tung swa nang. I came from Sembawang
I play the ' Lan Ting Tung '
From morning to petang
And now is half past one. I want to makan
Curry and kai fun, make my perut kenyang
After my makan, I go jalan jalan
Up and down Geylang
Cari perempuan, I met one lorry
He asked me to ' gostan '
I fell into the ' longkao '
And got a big ' kaitan '

Never knew I love her till I went inside
Never knew I love her till I saw her drink the XO
Never knew I love her till I saw her drink the XO oh-ah

3RD HOBC ATC
(Sung to the tune of Lemon Tree - composed by 3rd batch HOBC)

Stranded on Pulau Ubin
HOBC undergoing ATC
Wake up in the morning 5BX
Do some jumping and some stretching
Then breakfast, area cleaning and inspection

After that we had canoeing
Left right left right left right we go paddling
Then we did the capsize drill
Stayed in the water wait for rescue
Not good then semula, do it again

I wonder how, I wonder why
When we go out rafting our raft never capsize
And all that I can see
Is water coming up on me

I wonder how, I wonder why
When we do field cooking our fire cannot light
And all that I can see
Is the matchsticks left "jit kee"

Land expedition find check points
Kampong Mamam, Melayu, Noordin & Ubin
Some of the check points cannot find
Got no time now so must go back
Along we picked fire wood for campfire

Cooperation...this is our theme
Cooperation...this is how we show our team spirit

We have completed ATC
What we long to see is Pulau Ubin jetty
Get ready the next day for
Commissioning

I wonder how, I wonder why
We can lead the cadets and can guide the CIs
And all that I can see
Is what HOs are to be

I wonder how, I wonder why
We have come together and we all have survived
And all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is the 3rd HOBC
