Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter From Camp)


[Verse - Version 1]

Hello Muddah,  Hello Fadduh
 1* 2  2 -2*  -2* -3 -3  3*

Here I am at   Camp Granada
 2 -2* -2* 3*   3* -5 -5 5*

Camp is very   entertaining
 2  -3 -3 3*   3* -2* -2* 2

And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining
 2   4*   4*  -4    -4   3*   3* -2* 3* -2*  -2*  2

[Verse - Version 2]

I went hiking   with Joe Spivey
 1* 2  2 -2*    -2*  -3  -3  3*

He developed   poison ivy
 2 -2* -2* 3*  3* -5 -5 5*

You remember   Leonard Skinner
 2  4* 4* -4    -4  3*  3* -2*

He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner
-5  5*  5*  -3   -3  -2*   -2*   2   3* -4  -4 -3

[Verse - Version 1]

All the counselors   hate the waiters
 1*  2   2   -2*     -2*  -3  -3  3*

And the lake has   alligators
 2  -2* -2*  3*    3* -5 -5 5*

And the head coach   wants no sissies
 2  -3   -3    3*     3*  -2* -2*  2

So he reads to us from something called Ulysses
 2  4*  4*  -4 -4   3*   3* -2*    3*  -2* -2* 2

[Verse - Version 2]

Now I don't want   this should scare ya
 1* 2   2   -2*     -2*   -3    -3   3*

But my bunk mate   has malaria
 2  -2* -2*  3*     3* -5 -5 5*

You remember   Jeffrey Hardy
 2  4* 4* -4   -4  3*  3* -2*

They're about to organize a searching party
  -5    5* 5* -3 -3 -2*-2* 2  3* -4  -4  -3

[Bridges]

Take me home,   oh Muddah, Fadduh
 2   4   -4     -3  3  -2   1 -1

Take me home,   I hate Granada
 2   4   -4     -3  3 -2  1 -1

Don't leave me   out in the forest where
 2     -3   3    -3  3   2  -1  2   -2

I might get eaten by a bear
 3  -2   3  2 -2  2 -2  2


Take me home,   I promise I will
 2   4   -4    -3  3  -2  1  -1

Not make noise   Or mess the house with
 2   4   -4      -3  3   -2    1   -1

Other boys,   Oh, please don't make me stay
 2 -3   3     -3    3     -3   -1   2  -2

I've been here one whole day
 3    -2   3    2   -2    2

[Verse - Version 1]
Dearest Fadduh, darling Muddah
How's my precious little Bruddah?
Let me come home if you miss me
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me

[Verse - Version 2]
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that's better
Muddah, Fadduh, kindly disregard this letter!
