#1.
A                             D
In nineteen and fifty-nine we took a little hike,
     E                        A
with our scout master down to Lake Oneeganite.
A                             D
We took a little pizza and we took some saurkrauts,
       E                              A
and we marched along together till we heard the Girl Scouts.
 
CHORUS:
A
We are the boys from Camp Kookamonga.
                                E              A
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways.
A
We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together.
                                     E              A
But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze.
 
(And I was mad because me mother sent me up here, ha-ha-ha.)
 
#2.
A                                     D
Well, we crept up to the water and we see the girls a-swimmin.
      E                            A
There musta been a hundred of them pretty young women.
A                        D
They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing..
   E                              A
we lay down in the Poison Oak and didn't say a thing.
 
(Hey will one of you fellas scratch my back?)
 
CHORUS:
A
We are the boys from Camp Kookamonga.
                                E              A

#3.
A                                 D
Well, our counselor said we could take them by surprise,
      E                         A
if we didn't say a word till we looked them in the eyes.
A                         D
We kept real still and we had our eyes a-glued..
   E                                    A
we saw how they were dressed..they were swimming in the..
E

A
Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles.
                                    E               A
They ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
A
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them,
                             E          A
and we can even hike all the way to Buffalo.
 
(Hey, fellas wait for me!)

A                                  D
Well, we ran right after them till everyone was pooped..
       E                           A
so, we rested for a moment and our forces we regrouped.
A                       D
Then we saw the girls behind some evergreens,
E                        A
captured by a company of United States Marines.
 
(Aww! Those big guys get everything.)
