The Battle Of Kookamonga 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)
