Not Alone Lyrics

BATTLE OF KOOKAMONGA
Homer & Jethro

Note: This is a parody of
BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS by Johhny Horton
Note: There is a falsetto voice which
I designate by "F"

In nineteen and fifty-nine we took a little
hike
With our scout master down to Lake Oneeganite
We took a little pizza
and we took some saurkrauts
And we marched along together till we heard the
girl scouts

CHORUS
We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga
Our mothers
sent us here for to study nature's ways
We learned to make sparks by rubbing
sticks together
But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods
ablaze

F: And I was mad because me mother sent me up here
ha-ha-ha

Well we crept up to the water and we see the girls
a-swimmin
There musta been a hundred of them pretty young women
They
looked so fine even birds forgot to sing
We lay down in the poison oak and
didn't say a thing

CHORUS

F: Hey will one of you fellas scratch
my back?

Well our counselor said we could take them by surprise
If we
didn't say a word till we looked them in the eyes
We kept real still and we
had our eyes aglued
We saw how they were dressed they were swimming in
the
Welll now...

CHORUS

Well they ran through the briars and
they ran through the brambles
They ran through the bushes where a rabbit
couldn't go
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them
And we can even
hike all the way to Buffalo

F: Hey fellas wait for me

Well we ran
right after them till everyone was pooped
So we rested for a moment and our
forces we regrouped
Then we saw the girls behind some evergreens
Captured
by a company of United States Marines

CHORUS

F: Aww those big guys
get everything

Well they ran through the briars an they ran through the
brambles
They ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran
so fast even we couldn't catch them
And we can even hike all the way to
Buffalo

FALSETTO CHORUS
A-rootie-toot-toot a-rootie-toot-toot
Ah
we are the boys from the boy scout troop
We don't smoke and we don't
chew
And we don't go with the girls that do

(fade out of calling and
whooping)
