Camp Granada (COMEDY)

Hello Mudda, hello Fadda,
Here I am at Camp Granada.
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 ptomain 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 bunk mate has malaria.
You remember Jeffrey Hardy,
They're about to organize a searching party.

Take me home, oh Mudda, Fadda,
Take me home, I hate Granada!
Don't leave me 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 Father, darling Mother,
How's my precious little brother?
Let me come home if you miss me,
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.

Wait a minute, it stopped hailing,
Guys are swimming, gals are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's betta,
Mudda, Fadda, kindly disregard this letter!

Do the Girl Scouts still sing "Dem Bones?" Its really long , and all about the Lord rising gain (or something like that!) And there's hand motions that go with the song, too.

"I knows it , knows it,
Indeed I knows it,
Brother I knows it,
WHEE! Dem Bones gonna rise again!"

Rise and Shine
Rise and shine, and give out your glory, glory;
Rise and shine, and give out your glory, glory;
Rise and shine, and [slap or clap] give out your glory, glory;
Children of the Lord.
The Lord said to Noah,”There’s gonna be a floody, floody;”
[repeat again.]
Get those children [slap or clap] out of the muddy, muddy:
Children of the Lord.
So, Noah he build him, he built him an arky, arky; [repeat again.]
Thatched it up with [slap or clap] hickory barky, barky;
Children of the Lord.
The animals they came in two by twosy, twosy; [repeat again.]
Elephants and [slap or clap] kangaroosy, roosy, roosy;
Children of the Lord.
The animals they came in three by threesy, threesy; [repeat again.]
Bugs and bears and [slap or clap] bumblebeesy, beesy;
Children of the Lord.
The animals they came in four by foursy, foursy; [repeat again.]
Noah called out [slap or clap] “Close the doorsy, doorsy”;
Children of the Lord.
It rained, it rained, it rained forty daysy, daysy; [repeat again.]
Drove those animals [slap or clap] nearly crazy, crazy;
Children of the Lord.
The Sun came out and dried up the landy, landy; [repeat again.]
Everything was [slap or clap] fine and dandy, dandy;
Children of the Lord.

Ok, I'll put down the words I've heard on
Greasy Grimy gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat,
Little dirty birdy feet,
Deep fried eyeballs
Swimming in a pool of blood,
And I forgot my spoon.

And then the other version that is more for us girls,
(lol, if there is a better version for us girls )

Boys are made of
Greasy grimy gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat,
Little dirty birdy feet,
Girls are made of
Sugar n spice and all that's sweet,
And I forgot my spoon!


Wow and thanks for the words to Camp Granada. I haven't heard that song in ages!

And the version of God Bless My Underwear my troop knows:

God bless my underwear,
My only pair,
Stand beside them,
and guide them,
So they won't get a rip or a tear.

From the washer,
To the dryer,
To the clothesline,
To my rear,
God bless my underwear,
My only pair,
God bless my underwear,
Or I'd go bare!

We were driving the kids crazy (cuz thats our job) with this one yesterday:

Ravioli
Tune: "Alouette"
All:
Ravioli, I like ravioli.
Ravioli, It's the best for me.

Leader:
Have I got it on my chin?


All:
Yes, you have it on your chin.

Leader:
On my chin?


Leader:
On your chin. OH-h-h-h
Ravioli, I like ravioli.
Ravioli, It's the best for me.

Continue with tie, shirt, pants, shoes, floor, walls. Point to the items as each new word is added by the song leader. It is repeated by the chorus and all preceding verses are sung in reverse order.
