Does anyone know the full lyrics to "Boom di-a-dah"?

That damn song is stuck in my head, but I can't now find the lyrics online except for short excerts

I like the flowers, I like the daffodils,
I like the mountains, I like the rolling hills
I like the campfire, When all the lights are low,

Chorus:
Boom di-a-dah, boom di-a-dah,
Boom di-a-dah, boom di-a-dah...


Shouldn't there be more than that? I know it's sung in the round. My kid was a Girl Scout in the 90s, back when you could still get a merit badge for experimenting with field mushrooms. But as a former English major, I'm certain there'd have to be a line that rhymes with "lights are low" to justify that tight an anapestic metric scheme.

This post has ended up being a lot more autobiographical than I intended.
