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

     G                        C
with our scout master down to Lake Oneeganite.

C                             F
We took a little pizza and we took some saurkrauts,

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

                                G              C
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways.

C
We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together.

                                     G              C
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.
C                                     F
Well, we crept up to the water and we see the girls a-swimmin.

      G                            C
There musta been a hundred of them pretty young women.

C                        F
They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing..

   G                              C
we lay down in the Poison Oak and didn't say a thing.
(Hey will one of you fellas scratch my back?) CHORUS:

We are the boys from Camp Kookamonga.

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

      G                         C
if we didn't say a word till we looked them in the eyes.

C                         F
We kept real still and we had our eyes a-glued..

   G                                    C
we saw how they were dressed..they were swimming in the..

G

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

                                    G               C
They ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.

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

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

       G                           C
so, we rested for a moment and our forces we regrouped.

C                       F
Then we saw the girls behind some evergreens,

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