"Campfire" is a rhythmic action song performed by the Kids at Big Bird's summer camp, as they build a campfire to cook hot dogs. Different groups of kids chant various words and phrases simultaneously as some African-sounding percussion plays in the background. First, as they find the material for the fire, they chant "firewood, firewood", "stack the kindling", and "crumpling paper". This gradually changes to "hot dogs", "on a stick", "toast the bun", "mustard, relish", and "juicy, juicy".
