HELLO MUDDAH, HELLO FADDAH- Allan Sherman- Composed by Amilcare Ponchielli, Lyrics by Allan Sherman & Lou Busch- My Son, The Nut

Hello Muddah, hello Faddah
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 Spivey
He developed poison ivy,
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got Ptomaine 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 scare ya
But my bunkmate has Malaria,
You remember Jeffrey Hardy
They’re about to organize a searching party.

CHORUS:
Take me home, oh Muddah, Faddah
Take me home, I hate Granada,
Don’t leave me out 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 Faddah, 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.

Wait a minute, it’s stopped hailing
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing,
Playing baseball, gee that’s bettah
Muddah, Faddah kindly disregard this letter!
