The one at the end is probably brownie bells. if I remember it goes
Oh lord our god,
Thy children call,
Grant us thy peace
and bless us all.
I know our Brownies also have a second verse to this but I can't remember the words.
The one about the candle may be This little Guiding light:
This little guiding light of mine I'm gonna let it shine,
This little guiding light of mine I'm gonna let it shine,
This little guiding light of mine I'm gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, all the time let it shine.
Take my little light round the world, I'm gonna let it shine etc
Hide it under a bush, oh no I'm gonna let it shine etc..
Don't remember any about a cat, but they vary across the country.
Try having a look on guidinguk.freeservers.com or searching for best of guidinguk and you should be taken to a site tat has links to lots of guiding songs

Brownie Songs

At the end of Brownies we sat round the toadstool and sang Campfire's Burning. It was sung in "rounds", one group would sing the first line then the next group would start etc.
Campfire's burning, Campfire's burning
Draw nearer, Draw nearerr,
In the gloaming, In the Gloaming,
Let's sing and be merry.
We also sang songs such as "The quartermaster's store" - There was gravy, gravy, enough to sink the navy in the store, in the store...
We sang Riding along on the Crest of a Wave
We also sang game songs such as "In and Out those Dusty Bluebells"
Hope this helps!

Okay , when you see the '*' sign, you have to make a noise like you are being sick .
A brownie had some marmalade, a brownie had some jam,
A brownie had some fish and chips, and then she had some spam,
A brownie had some lemonade and then some ginger beer,
And then she wondered, why she felt so queer.
* came the marmalde and * came the jam,
* came the fish and chips and then up came the spam,
* came the lemonade and then the ginger beer,
And then she knew just why she felt so queer.
I still sing it and I'm old now (30). Obviously the word queer had a different meaning then!!

There was the one about eating worms... Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, think I'm gonna eat worms..... or what about this one:
Yo, my name is Jo, & I work in a button factory,
got a wife and a dog and a family,
one day, the boss came up to me and said,
Hey, Jo, push this button with your right hand....
you can guess the rest!
The song at the end was:
Day is done, gone the sun,
from the sea, from the hills, from the sky,
All is well, safely rest, god is nigh....

I'm sorry but these are the only 2 songs that i remember singing at Brownies (but for me it was over 40 years ago).
KUMBAYA
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya!
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya!
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya!
O Lord, kumbaya!
Someone’s laughing, Lord, kumbaya!

LORD OF THE DANCE
I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the Moon & the Stars & the Sun
I came down from Heaven & I danced on Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth:
Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(...lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
I danced for the scribe & the pharisee
But they would not dance & they wouldn't follow me
I danced for fishermen, for James & John
They came with me & the Dance went on:
I danced on the Sabbath & I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame!
They whipped & they stripped & they hung me high
And they left me there on a cross to die!
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body & they thought I'd gone
But I am the Dance & I still go on!
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the Life that'll never, never die!
I'll live in you if you'll live in Me -
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

One song they sang was called round the old camp fire.
