Hello Muddah Hello Fadduh Here I Am at Camp Granada - Allan Sherman

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 it 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!
