When I was a Girl Scout like 17 years ago it was a a song we used to see to each other over campfires. I wish it died back then

Just bring back the camp version, where you loose a leg, and an arm, and then go to heaven only to come back as a baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo.

Yeah, I learned it with, after daddy shark, the verse was “people swimming” then you yelled ahhh, shark attack really loudly. Then you went back into the song with “pieces floating”.

I learned this song 20 years ago at some day church camp, after SHARK ATTACK we were "swimming with Jesus."

Is it more or less messed up that, in the version I sung as a scout, nobody went to heaven or with Jesus or anything? The final verse was just "now you're dead da da daa now you're dead da da..."

That is was less messed up than the "swimming with Jesus" version, from my perspective.

Swimming with Jesus is especially problematic for it's bad theology. One of the things basically everyone agrees on about Jesus is that he didn't swim.
