"Little Red Rented Rowboat"

"The Boys' Camp Is Just Across the Lake From the Girls' Camp Where I Go"

In the early '60s there was a spate of songs parodying current hits -- i.e. "Son Don't Go Near the Eskimos" -- and also story songs made up of lines sampled (I don't think they used the term then) from other popular songs. I remember one ending up with the line from Walter Brennan's song (would that one count as a novelty song, too?), "That mule, Old Rivers and me."

They did continue well into the '60s. How about "The Anaheim, Azusa, And Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review, And Timing Association" just for the title alone?

They had a tendency to be on the radio in the summer when school was out.
