I Love the Mountains (Boom-De-Ya-Da) - Lyrics & Videos
This song was one we sang daily at summer camp.
I love the mountains I love the rolling hills, I love the flowers I love the daffodils. I love the fireside When all the lights are low Boom-dee-ya-da, boom-dee-ah-da, Boom-dee-ya-da, boom-dee-ah-da, Boom-dee-ya-da, boom-dee-ah-da, Boom-dee-ya-da, boom-dee-ah-da,

Little Miss Ann – “I Love the Mountains” A nice version with these added lyrics:
I love the ocean I love the open sea I love the forest I love the bumblebees I love the stars above When the night turns to day [Chorus]
I love the sunshine
I love the butterflies
I love the wind blow
I love the river flow
I love the city lights
When the moon is high
[Chorus]
I love the daisies
I love the sugar peas
I love the meadows
I love the summer breeze
I love to walk on by with my head in the sky
[Chorus]

Eloise Golden – “I Love the Mountains – Sheet music is displayed while the short traditional version is portrayed and nicely sung, and then Eloise teaches you how to sing it as a round: “Everyone sings the song all the way through. After the boom – de – a da’s one group continues to sing Boom De A Da and the other group sings the main melody. After they finish Boom De A Da again, both groups switch parts.”
