Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Peeping through the knothole in Father's
Shades of Camp Chawanakee, circa 1955-6. One of the counselors sang this song at campfires. Later, after I had begun to be more involved in music, someone gave me a copy of "Song Fest," the Outing Club publication mentioned above, in which this song appears. There is a lot of material in that little book. Several friends and I drew from it for comedy bits, nonsense songs and the like. Other songs that I recall are "Thais"(the many-versed saga of a libidinous monk and a belly dancer), Abdullah Bulbul Amir and "The Vassar Hygiene Song." I still have the book.
