Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh,
|
Here I am at Camp Grenada
|
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 Leonard 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 this should scare ya
|
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
|
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, 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.
|
