Camp Granada

Hello Mudda, hello Fadda,
Here I am at Camp Granada.
Camp is very entertaining,
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.

I went hiking with Joe Spivy;
He developed poison ivy.
You remember Lenard Skinner;
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.



All the counselors hate the waiters,
And the lake has alligators,
And the head coach wants no sissies,
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.

Now I don't want that this should scare you,
But my bunkmate has malaria.
You remember Jeffery Hardy,
They're about to organize a searching party.

Take me home, oh Mudda, Fadda,
Take me home, I hate Granada!
Don't leave me out in the forest,
Where I might get eaten by a bear.

Take me home, I promise I will not make noise,
Or mess the house with other boys,
O please don't make me stay,
I've been here one whole day.

Dearest Father, Darling Mother,
How's my precious little brudda?
Let me come home if you miss me,
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.

Wait a minute, it stopped hailing,
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's betta,
Mudda, Fadda kindly disregard this letta!
