06 Sep 06 - 11:51 PM (#1828926) Subject: Lyr Add: SECOND WEEK OF DEER CAMP (Parts 1 & 2) From: Jim Dixon Might as well have both parts in one place. Copied from here: THE SECOND WEEK OF DEER CAMP [PART 1] Jim DeCaire, Joe Potila (Da Yoopers) "Hey, there goes one!" [TWO GUNSHOTS] "Hey, you shot my cow!" It's the second week of deer camp. I've got a swollen head. I'm lying with the dust-balls underneath my bed. An icy breeze is blowing in through the tongue-in-groove. My pants are frozen to the floor and I'm too sick to move. I didn't drink so many, only thirty cans of beer. It must have been that last shot that put me under here. CHORUS: It's the second week of deer camp and all the guys are here. We drink, play cards, and shoot the bull, but never shoot no deer. The only time we leave the camp is when we go for beer. The second week of deer camp is the greatest time of year! I remember playing poker. That weasel must have won. He's wearing my new swampers and sleeping with my gun. He's snoring like a chain saw. The camp smells like a dump. Someone's dirty underwear is hanging on the pump. Mucko's in the wood-box. Wiener's passed out on the stove. His flannel shirt is smoking. [SNIFF] I wonder if he knows? "Yeow!" CHORUS Vito's crawling through the door. I think he got frostbite. He passed out in the outhouse and he's been there since last night. Goofus stumbles through the door. He says he got a buck. He was coming from the wayside and he killed it with his truck. Musty cracks a beer and says, "It's time to celebrate! Goofus got the first buck since 1968!" CHORUS TWICE THE SECOND WEEK OF DEER CAMP, PART 2 "Hey Joe! Where are you? If you can't hear me, just say something!" "Where da heck am I? Oh, I remember now." I wake up in the woodshed with two thousand empty beers. I came looking for a full one and I musta passed out here I crawl out through the door and I run smack into a buck. He was eating all the apples from the back of Rudy's truck. I grab him by the back legs and he drags me through the snow, But when he jumps a barbed-wire fence I have to let him go. "Aargh!" CHORUS: It's the second week of deer camp there's one more day to go. We haven't had a shave or bath since fourteen days ago. The empties pile is growing and nobody's got a deer, But there's only fifty weeks to go and we'll be back up here! I go crawling down the road and Alley-Oop comes whizzing by. For a guy that weighs three hundred pounds, that Oop can really fly. I take a look behind me, and here comes a big black bear. If I make it back to camp, I'll have to change my underwear. The bear goes by the both of us and runs right through the door. He's breaking up the card game it sounds just like a war! "Lemme out of here!" CHORUS Bruno's cooking bear meat but no one wants to eat, "uh-uhh." 'Cause everything that Bruno cooks [SNIFF] smells like Mungo's feet. "eauuw." The poker game's still going and the beer is getting low. All around the deer camp there's a ring of yellow snow. "Aahhh." The bucks we won in poker are the only bucks we got. We spent two weeks in deer camp and never fired a shot. CHORUS TWICE |
