The Battle Of Kookamonga:Homer And Jethro. #14 in 1959. #1.
A                             D
In nineteen and fifty-nine we took a little hike,

     E                        A
with our scout master down to Lake Oneeganite.

A                             D
We took a little pizza and we took some saurkrauts,

       E                              A
and we marched along together till we heard the Girl Scouts.
CHORUS:
A
We are the boys from Camp Kookamonga.

                                E              A
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways.

A
We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together.

                                     E              A
But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze.
(And I was mad because me mother sent me up here, ha-ha-ha.) #2.
A                                     D
Well, we crept up to the water and we see the girls a-swimmin.

      E                            A
There musta been a hundred of them pretty young women.

A                        D
They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing..

   E                              A
we lay down in the Poison Oak and didn't say a thing.
(Hey will one of you fellas scratch my back?) CHORUS:
A
We are the boys from Camp Kookamonga.

                                E              A

INTERLUDE: #3.
A                                 D
Well, our counselor said we could take them by surprise,

      E                         A
if we didn't say a word till we looked them in the eyes.

A                         D
We kept real still and we had our eyes a-glued..

   E                                    A
we saw how they were dressed..they were swimming in the..

E

CHORUS:

#4.
A
Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles.

                                    E               A
They ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.

A
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them,

                             E          A
and we can even hike all the way to Buffalo.
(Hey, fellas wait for me!) #5.
A                                  D
Well, we ran right after them till everyone was pooped..

       E                           A
so, we rested for a moment and our forces we regrouped.

A                       D
Then we saw the girls behind some evergreens,

E                        A
captured by a company of United States Marines.
(Aww! Those big guys get everything.) CHORUS:
A
We are the boys from Camp Kookamonga.

                                E              A
