Campfire Song Songs

 Once a camp counselor, always a camp counselor.

The Cannibal King
Theeeeeee Cannibal King
with the big nose ring
fell in love with the dusty ma-a-aid
and every night
in the pale moon light
across the lake he ca-a-ame
He hugged and he kissed
his pretty little miss
in the shade of the bamboo tre-e-ee
and every night
in the pale moon light
it sounded like this to me-e-e
BA RUMP (smooch smooch) BA RUMP (smooch smooch)
BA RUMP BADI YADI AY-AY-AY
BA RUMP (smooch smooch) BA RUMP (smooch smooch)
BA RUMP BADI YADI AY-AY-AY

We'll build a bungalo big enough for two
big enough for two, my honey, big enough for two
Then when we're married, happy we'll be
under the bamboo, under the bamboo tree
If you'll be M-I-N-E mine,
I'll be T-H-I-N-E thine
and I'll L-O-V-E love you
all the T-I-M-E time
You are the B-E-S-T best
of all the R-E-S-T rest
and I'll L-O-V-E love you
all the T-I-M-E time

Match in the gas tank, BOOM BOOM!
Love in the moon light, WHOO WHOO!
Skunk in the cellar, P U!

Camp St. Joseph's Song

I go to camp St. Joseph's, pity me
There's not a man in the vicinity!
And every night at 9, they lock the doors
I don't know what the heck I ever came here for
I'm gonna pack my bags and homeward bound
I'm gonna turn this camp right upside down
I'm gonna smoke and drink and neck and peck so what the heck--
The heck with the whole damn camp!

  1. Someday researchers are going to try to track down the original "pity me/homeward bound" camp song, but if they just use the Web searches they will most certainly fail.
