I was told of the sick girl in a wheelchair watching the OHIO river go by out her window. (Maybe being from Western Pa a small change)

My own girls in the troop has used this tune to write many versions of thier favorite song but they allways sing the original first (both verses memorised) We have a FLUSHIEs version for backpacking, a cookie sale version, a counselor version for camp and a horseback version. They may have made up more by now.

counselors version

Out of my tentflap looking in the night
I can see the counselors flickering light
Curlers in her hair and cold cream on her face
She can scare a turtle to a very fast pace

counselors I would like to go with you
I would like to see the Boy Scouts too
Counselors have you candy in your hold
do you fight with campers brave and bold

Latrine version

out of my tentflap looking in the night
I can see the latrines flickering light
Sides are painted brown and hands around the side
I can smell someone left the lid open wide

(Chorus)
Flushies, I would like to take you
back to my camsite yes I do
Flushies there is room in my tent
and I would't make you pay any rent.

Squating dowm low and peeing in a hole
right next to me is a toilet paper roll
It's the worse I've ever smelled and the worse I've ever been
right now I could really use a latrine. (chorus)


See what versions your girls can come up with. Enjoy a couple of ours.
