15. There was an old doctor and his name was Peck.<br />
Fell down the well and broke his neck<br />
Served him right, he was doing wrong.<br />
Should have tended to the sick, and let the well alone.<br />

Bug Juice<br />
Tune: “On Top of Old Smokey”<br />
At the camp with the Boy Scouts,<br />
They gave us a drink.<br />
We thought it was Kool-Aid,<br />
because it was pink.<br />
But the thing that they told us,<br />
Would’ve grossed out a moose,<br />
For that great tasting pink drink,<br />
was really bug juice.<br />
It looked fresh and fruity,<br />
like tasty kool-aids,<br />
But the bugs that were in it,<br />
were murdered with Raid.<br />

Camp Grenada<br />
Tune:Dance of the Hours<br />
Hello Muddah, hello Faddah,<br />
Here I am at camp Grenada.<br />
Camp is very entertaining,<br />
And they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining.<br />
I went hiking with Joe Spivey,<br />
He developed poison ivy.<br />
You remember Leonard Skinner,<br />
He got Ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.<br />
All the counselors hate the waiters,<br />
And the lake has alligators.<br />
And the head coach wants no sissies,<br />
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.<br />
Now I don’t want this should scare ya’,<br />
But my bunkmate has Malaria.<br />
You remember Jeffery Hardy,<br />
They’re about to organize a searching party.<br />
Take me home, oh Muddah, Faddah,<br />
Take me home, I hate Grenada.<br />
Don’t leave me out in the forest where,<br />
I might get eaten by a bear.<br />
Take me home,<br />
I promise I will not make noise,<br />
or mess the house with other boys,<br />
Oh please don’t make me stay,<br />
I’ve been here one whole day...<br />
Dearest Muddah, Darling Faddah,<br />
How’s my precious little bruddah?<br />
Let me come home if you miss me,<br />
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me !<br />
Wait a minute, it’s stopped hailing,<br />
Guys are swimming, Guys are sailing!<br />
Playing baseball, gee that’s bettah,<br />
Muddah, Faddah kindly disregard this letter!!!<br />
Camp Kookamonga<br />
Tune: “The Battle of New Orleans)<br />
1. Well in 19 and 59 we took a little hike<br />
With our Scoutmaster down to Lake A-Neek-A-Nike<br />
We took a little pizza and we took some sauerkraut<br />
We marched along together ‘till we seen the Girl Scouts<br />
CHORUS<br />
We’re the boys from Camp Kookamonga<br />
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature’s ways<br />
We learned to make sparks by rubbin’ sticks together<br />
And if we catch some girls then we’ll set the woods<br />
ablaze<br />
2. Well we crept up to the water and we seen the girls aswimmin’<br />
