Note: This is a parody of BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS by Johhny Horton
|
Note: There is a falsetto voice which I designate by "F"
|
|
In nineteen and fifty-nine we took a little hike
|
With our scout master down to Lake Oneeganite
|
We took a little pizza and we took some saurkrauts
|
And we marched along together till we heard the girl scouts
|
|
CHORUS
|
We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga
|
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
|
We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
|
But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze
|
|
F: And I was mad because me mother sent me up here ha-ha-ha
|
|
Well we crept up to the water and we see the girls a-swimmin
|
There musta been a hundred of them pretty young women
|
They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing
|
We lay down in the poison oak and didn't say a thing
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
F: Hey will one of you fellas scratch my back?
|
|
Well our counselor said we could take them by surprise
|
If we didn't say a word till we looked them in the eyes
|
We kept real still and we had our eyes aglued
|
We saw how they were dressed they were swimming in the
|
Welll now...
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
|
They ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
|
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them
|
And we can even hike all the way to Buffalo
|
|
F: Hey fellas wait for me
|
|
Well we ran right after them till everyone was pooped
|
So we rested for a moment and our forces we regrouped
|
Then we saw the girls behind some evergreens
|
Captured by a company of United States Marines
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
F: Aww those big guys get everything
|
|
Well they ran through the briars an they ran through the brambles
|
They ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
|
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them
|
And we can even hike all the way to Buffalo
|
|
FALSETTO CHORUS
|
A-rootie-toot-toot a-rootie-toot-toot
|
Ah we are the boys from the boy scout troop
|
We don't smoke and we don't chew
|
And we don't go with the girls that do
|
|
(fade out of calling and whooping)
