COUNSELOR BLUES

Chorus (sung whenever you feel like you need to get everyone else to join in while you desperately think of another verse):
Don't you think that I'm complaining
Don't you think that I am down,
I'll always be all right as long as you're around.

I was standing still and someone came along and tied my shoes together,
And I don't know what to do so I'm going to sing this song to you all night
And all day, and all night!

We are coneheads, we are from France, we travel in pairs,
We consume everything in mass quantities
Stimulate us, stimulate us, stimulate us, affirmative

Watermelon, watermelon, watermelon, pomogranites, grapefruit, avocado…

I still have crust in my eyes from getting up too early…

And the milk on my special K, well it done turned sour…

Ever try to make an announcement hand have all the words come out funny…

Ever been hit with a cherry pit **(spoken) and find the pit in your pocket two weeks later - still wet and gathering mold? Yick!

I have horse dung stuck in the cracks of my soles and I can't find anywhere to scrape them

I ordered 18 chickens from the Ad staff and they're still complaining…

I work with horses all day and I can't get the dirt from underneath my fingernails…

Every time I sterilise I always seem to get Clorox in my eyes…

Next time you see Shorty there, throw her in the horse trough she loves it there, spends extra time there… DO IT TO HER….

I can't get on my horse 'cause I have syrup stuck between my knees from the pancakes I had this morning for breakfast….

My legs are so hairy I can braid them down to my toes, up to my nose, around my shoulders…

Some of the staff have hats that you can shape them anyway you want to…but don't ask them about it…

Someone has to tell the riding staff that they own horses, not turkeys, or greyhounds, or turtles, will they ever learn…

The staff hut is now not used anymore for a recreational facility, it is used as a hospital,
Watchout there are now ten people, fifteen…twenty…oh NO, the whole staff!

You better not raid packout anymore or else Scratch will come and find you and get you,
And you'll be sorry…PUT IT BACK, PUT IT BACK, PUT IT BACK, OR I'LL REMOVE YOUR HEAD

I lost my chapstick and my lips are bleeding down to my chin…

The ad staff is always willing to dress up, just ask Flint about her yellow dress and garter….

Everyone must have three cups of water at every meal or Cedar will find you and say
SALT SALT SALT OR DEHYDRATE….

Every unit has a CB but they don't always work…but that's okay, they are just there for security…

I have sunburn on the creases of my elbows…

I sleep on the floor and I have these funny critters knocking at my door…
