Hello everyone!

The following idea came to me in the shower this morning. The Getaway needs a camp song. I suggest we steal a song (in the best folk tradition) and make our own verses. I learned the following camp song at Philmont Scout Ranch. I later learned it was also sung in the Armed Forces. The first two verses are learned (but altered for the Getaway). The last one I made up. One suggestion: try not to have your verse end in "all the time", it gets old quickly.

The coffee here at Philmont they say is mighty fine,
It's good for cuts and scratches and tastes like Iodine.
CHO:
I don't want no more of Philmont life.
Gee, Ma, I wanna go. But they won't let me go.
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home.

The biscuits here at Philmont they say are mighty fine,
But one rolled off the table and killed a pal of mine. CHO:

The purists here at Ramblewood they say are mighty fine,
But they want to sing all verses and they know ninety-nine.
CHO;
I don't want no more of Getaway life.
Gee, Ma, I wanna go. But they won't let me go.
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home.
