Camp is very entertaining,
         D                   Am7             D
and they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.

I went hiking with Joe Spivy...he developed poison ivy.

All the counselors hate the waiters,
Em7     A7       Em7 D
And the lake has alligators.
        F#                  Bm
And the head coach wants no sissies,
Em7   A        A7                Em7    D
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.
Am7   D           Em7         A
Now I don't want, this should scare ya,
Em7    A        Em7    D
But my bunkmate has malaria.

You remember Jeffrey Hardy?

They're about to organize a searching party.

Take me home, oh muddah fadduh, take me home,
 
I hate Grenada.
Em7   G     D             Bm
Don't leave me out in the forest, 
G       Em        F#7
where I might get eaten by a bear.
Bm      F#7                    Bm       F#7
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise 
 
or mess the house with
Em7  G  D        Bm                   G
oth..er boys, oh please don't make me stay,

I've been here one, whole, day.

Dearest fadduh, darling muddah,
How's my precious little bruddah?
Let me come home if ya miss me
I will 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 better,
Muddah Fadduh please disregard this letter.
