’ Hello Muddah, hello Faddah,
Here I am at Camp
Granada.
Camp is very entertaining,
and they say we’ll have some fun if it quits raining.’
‘All the counselers hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators,
And the head coach wants no sissys,
So he reads to us from something called ‘Ulysses’..
I had pretty much that same experience at Powderhorn, a decade and a half ago, in Boy Scouts. I’m glad they made me stay, but at the time, i was oh-so miserable. (It didn’t help that it was my birthday on the day I arrived. Some present!)
now I dont want ….this should scare ya
but my bunkmate has malaria
you remember jeffery hardy
they’r e about to organize a searching party…….
yes, younger people not familiar with this little ditty that saturated the radiowaves back in ‘62 would assume that the cartoonist thought this up……allen sherman SHOULD be mentioned

I remember a kid’s book that predated the song (or at least I think it did).

If he doesnt’ like Camp Who’yamomma, they should sent him to Camp Whackaboy.
Any one else remember the comic book that appeared in?
