Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
(A LETTER FROM CAMP)
TUNE:  Dance of the Hours

    Hello Muddah, hello Faddah,
    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 Spivey,
    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 Jeffery Hardy,
    They're about to organize a searching party.

    Take me home, oh Muddah, Faddah,
    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 Muddah, Darling Faddah,
    How's my precious little bruddah?
    Let me come home if you miss me,
    I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me !

    Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing,
    Guys are swimming, Guys are sailing!
    Playing baseball, gee that's bettah,
    Muddah, Faddah kindly disregard this letter!!!

Hole in the Bottom of the Sea
(follow along)

    There's a hole in the bottom of the sea,
    There's a hole in the bottom of the sea,
    There's a hole,
    There's a hole,
    There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

    There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
    There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
    There's a hole,
    There's a hole,
    There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

    (continue until ...)

    There's a smile, on the flea,
    on the hair, on the wart,
    on the toe, on the foot,
    on the leg, on the frog,
    on the bump, on the log
    in the hole in the bottom of the sea.

Home on the Range

    Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam,
    Where the dear and the antelope play.
    Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
    And the skies are not cloudy all day.

    Chorus:
        Home, home on the range.
        Where the dear and the antelope play
        Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word,
        And the skies are not cloudy all day.

    Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so free,
    The breezes so balmy and lite,
    That I would not exchange, my home on the range,
    For all the cities so bright.

    Chorus

    How often at night, when the heavens are bright,
    With the light from the glittering stars,
    Have I stood there amazed, and asked as I gazed
    If their glory exceeds that of ours.

    Chorus

    Oh give me a land where the bright diamond sand,
    Flows leisurely down the stream;
    Where the graceful white swan goes sliding along,
    Like a maid in a heavenly dream.

    Chorus

    I love the wild flowers in this dear land of ours,
    And the curlew I love to hear scream;
    I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks,
    Grazing on the great mountain tops green.

I Met A Bear
[Tune: Sipping Cider Through a Straw]

    The other day, I met a bear,
    Out in the woods, away out there. [Point.]

    He looked at me, I looked at him,
    He sized up me, I sized up him.

    He says to me, "Why don't you run?"
    "Cause I can see, you have no gun."

    I says to him, "That's a good idea."
    "Now legs get going, get me out of here!"

    I began to run, away from there,
    But right behind me was that bear.

    And on the path ahead of me,
    I saw a tree, Oh glory be.

    The lowest branch was ten feet up,
    I'd have to jump and trust to luck.

    And so I jumped into the air,
    But I missed that branch away up there.

    Now don't you fret, and don't you frown,
    I caught that branch on the way back down.

    That's all there is, there ain't no more,
    Unless I met that bear once more.

I've Been Working On The Railroad

    I've been working on the railroad, all the live long day.
    I've been working on the railroad, just to pass the time away;
    Can't you head the whistle blowing?
    Rise up so early in the morn;
    Can't you hear the captain shouting:
    Dinah blow your horn

    Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow,
    Dinah won't you blow your horn! (your horn!)
    Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow,
    Dinah won't you blow your horn!

    Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
    Someone's in the kitchen I know; (I know oh)
    Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
    Strummin' on the old banjo.

    And singing: Fee, Fi Fiddely-I-Oh!
    Fee, Fi Fiddely-I-O-o-o-oh!
    Fee, Fi Fiddely-I-Oh!
    Strummin' on the old banjo.

Notes:
    Verse #4 is sometimes omitted, and the chorus is sometimes repeated a second time at the end, which gets louder through the first two lines and then quieter during the last two lines, with the last few words being slowed down and strung out, to emphasize the point that he ain't gonna jump no more.

    He made the finest sausages that ever you did see.
    But one day he invented, a wonderful sausage machine.

    Chorus:
        Oh, Johnnie Verbeck, Oh, Johnnie Verbeck, how could you be so mean?
        I told you you'd be sorry for inventing that machine.
        All the neighbors cats and dogs will never more be seen;
        For they'll all be ground to sausages in Johnnie Verbeck's machine.

    One day a little fat boy, came walking in the store.
    He bought a pound of sausages and piled them on the floor.
    The boy began to whistle, he whistled up a tune.
    And all the little sausages went dancing 'round the room

    Chorus

    One day the machine got busted, and the darn thing wouldn't go.
    So Johnnie Verbeck, he climbed inside, to see what made it so.
    His wife, she had a nightmare, and walking in her sleep,
    She gave the crank an awful yank and Johnnie Verbeck was meat.

    Chorus

Little Birdies

    Way up in the sky,    (hands over head)
    The big birdies fly,    (flap arms like a big bird)
    While down in the nest,    (make basket with arms)
    The little birds rest.    (press hands to one side of face)
    With a wing on the left,    (tweet make little wing with left arm)
    And a wind on the right,    (tweet make little wing with right arm)
    The little birdies sleep    (repeat sleeping birdies)
    all through the night.

    SHHHH!! The birdies are sleeping!  (make the shhh against mouth)

    The bright sun comes out,    (clap hands over head)
    The dew falls away,    (make voice deep and shove fists to ground)
    "Good morning! good morning!"   (make voice very high)
    The little birds say.   (act surprised)

Little Bunny Fu-Fu

    Little bunny Fu-fu, hoppin' though the forest,
    Scoopin' up the field mice and boppin' them on the head.
    Along came the good fairy, and she said:
    "Little bunny Fu-fu, I don't want to see you
    Scoopin' up the field mice and boppin' them on the head.
    I'll give you three chances to change your ways, and if you
    don't obey, I'll turn you into a goon."
    So the next day . . . [Repeat-two more chances . . . ]
    So the next day . . . [Repeat-one more chance . . . ]
    So the next day . . . [Repeat]
    "I gave you three chances to change your ways and you didn't obey,
    so now I'm turning you into goon. Pooff! You're a goon.
    And the moral of this story is . . . 'Hare today and goon tomorrow.'

Mountain Dew

    Chorus:
        Well, they call it that good old Mountain Dew
        And them that refuse it are few.
        An' I'lI hush up my mug
        If you fill up my jug
        With that good old Mountain Dew

    There's a big old oak tree down the road here from me
    Where you lay down a dollar or two
    Take a stroll 'round the bend, when you come back again
    There will be a jug full of good old mountain dew

    Chorus

    My Uncle Bill owns a still on the hill,
    An' he puts up a gallon or two.
    An' the birds in the sky,
    Get so high they can not fly
    Sniffin' that good old Mountain Dew

    Chorus

    My Uncle Mort, he was sawed off and short,
    An' he stood only four foot n' two,
    But he felt like a giant,
    If you give him a pint
    Of that good old Mountain Dew

    Chorus

    My Auntie Sue had a rare perfume,
    An' it gave off a pretty P.U.
    Well imagine her surprise
    When she had it analyzed,
    It was only that good old Mountain Dew.

    Chorus

    My Uncle George had a beat up ol' Ford
    It was built in 19 - 0 - 2
    It don't run on gas
    You just give it a glass
    Of that good old Mountain Dew.

    Chorus

    My brother Hank had a US Army tank
    An' with it, he didn't know what to do
    So he pulled out the crank
    And he filled up that tank
    With that good ol' Mountain Dew!

    Chorus

    My brother Don has a still in the john,
    Where he'll run off a gallon or two.
    When the Revenuers come rushin'
    He'd just give it a flush'n'
    There'd go that good old mountain dew.

    Chorus

My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean

    My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
    My Bonnie lies over the sea,
    My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
    Oh bring back my Bonnie to me.
    Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me;
    [Repeat.]

    Action: As you sing each word beginning with the letter B, change from a standing to a sitting position and vice versa. All should be standing at the end of the song. When you have mastered these movements, sing it again, faster.

    (Other verses)
        My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank,
        The height of its contents to see.
        I lit up a match to assist her,
        Oh bring back my Bonnie to me.

        Chorus

        Last night as I lay on my pillow,
        Last night as I lay on my bed,
        I stuck my feet out of the window,
        Next morning my neighbors were dead.

        (Chorus with bring back my neighbors to me)

        My Bonnie has tuberculosis,
        My Bonnie has only one lung,
        My Bonnie can cough up raw oysters'
        And roll them around on her tongue.

        (Chorus: Roll them, roll them, roll them around on her tongue, her tongue...)

        My luncheon lies over the ocean,
        My breakfast lies over the rail.
        My supper lies in great commotion,
        Won't someone please bring me a pail.

        (Chorus: Clams & ice cream don't agree with me, with me..")

        Who knows what I had for breakfast?
        Who knows what I had for tea?
        Who knows what I had for supper?
        Just look out the window and see!

My Country, 'Tis of Thee

    My country 'tis of thee,
    God bless America, land that I love,
    Sweet land of liberty,
    Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died,
    Land of the pilgrims' pride
    From every mountain side,
    Let freedom ring.

My Dog Rover
(Tune: I"m Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover)

    (Version 1)
        I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
        That I overran with the mower.
        One leg is missing, another is gone,
        One leg is scattered all over the lawn.
        No need explaining, the one remaining,
        Is stuck in the kitchen door.
        I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
        That I overran with the mower.

    (Version 2)
        I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
        Who died on the kitchen floor.
        One leg is broken, the other is lame,
        The third leg is missing, the fourth needs a cane.
        No need explaining, the tail remaining
        Was caught in the oven door.
        I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
        Who died on the kitchen floor.

My Stomach Has Had It
[Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean]

    My breakfast lies over the ocean,
    My dinner lies over the sea,
    My stomach is in a commotion,
    Don't mention my supper to me.

    CHORUS:
        Bring back, bring back,
        Oh bring back my bucket to me, to me . . .

    I really felt rotten this morning,
    They tell me I really looked pale,
    My stomach gave adequate warning,
    To lean far out over the rail.

    The sound of a stomach in motion,
    A murmuring noise inside me,
    I looked down and there on the water,
    Was breakfast and dinner and tea.
