Lyrics Hello Mother Hello Father - Allan Sherman

Hello Mother Hello Father

Hello Mudda, hello Fadda
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 Spivy;
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner;
He got ptomain 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 it scare ya But my bunk mate has malaria
You remember Jeffrey Hardy
They’re about to organize a searching party
Take me home, oh Mudda, Fadda
Take me home, I hate Granada!
Don’t leave me 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 Father, darling Mother
How’s my precious little brother?
Let me come home if you miss me I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me Wait a minute, it stopped hailing
Guys are swimming, gals are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that’s betta
Mudda, Fadda, kindly disregard this letter!
