Original Camp Grenada Song
Amilcare Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours
Marge, is Lisa at Camp Granada?
I bet Bart is stealing BoneStorm.
"Buy me BoneStorm or go to hell."
awelcruiz I was dying laughing from that 😂
awelcruiz “now, to put this where no one will ever find it”
Just literally anyone come here for any other reason than that reference?
I clicked on this video thinking to myself "I am going to be pissed off if this isn't the top comment".
Marge? Is Lisa at Camp Granada?
If we both survive
Probably
so i’m not the only one
Buy me Bonestorm, or go to Hell!
This song stuck in my head after that scene in Simpsons. I couldn't get it out, so I decided to face the enemy and listened to this original version. And now it's ...stuck foreverrrr!
Ah! That’s exactly what I did!
"Marge, is Lisa at Camp Granada?"
If that isn’t the truth though. My husband and I keep coming up with all these old songs and go to UA-cam and find them and sing along with them. Isn’t it great that we can look up all these old songs and sing along with them? I love UA-cam.
No King of Queens xd
Me too man
My dad played this all the time when we were growing up. He just passed at 85. This brings back memories.
I'm sorry to hear it man, my condolences. My brother passed in April this year, 33 years old :( I'm 36. He wasn't supposed to die before me, mom and dad. My parents played this song in the car when we were kids and man, we laughed - we didn't understand it, we just liked the way he spoke. Then as an adult I'm listening now and it asks "How's my precious little brother" ... shit hits hard man. Who'd have thought such a funny and light hearted song could bring a tear to my eye. Good sir, I hope you find peace in the lessons and life your father gave you.
Rest in peace dad.
@@fromthegamethrone Rest in peace bro.
@@robertl.crawford4369 thanks man x
sorry to hear that, my condolences to you and your family
For those of you wondering what Ptomaine poisoning is. Essentially another word for food poisoning.
Good to know. Thanks
@@teorijaludaka I kind of just guessed that since, he said it was after dinner
When I was an ickle-pritty, all those years ago, and only so high, I used to think he was singing 'toenail poisoning . . '
It’s an outdated term now though, it’s no longer used medically (used to back when this video was made)
It's okay. When I heard Clapton singing JJ Cale, I thought he was saying, "I get high I get high-- ptomaine."
2024 am on the other side of the world enjoying this iconic performance. Such a great legacy.
Well played Mr Sherman.
There playing ads on the (UK) radio with the same tune, so I had to look this up.
Here in England I used to hear this on the radio when I was growing up in the 60s my mum singing along, she appeared in a few amateur shows herself, happy memories, RIP mum.
This the one song I remember from when I was younger. It's been a while. Even if you live for a hundred years, somethings just pass and are gone forever. I'm glad to see this Tresure is still here. Don't wait to live your life. Do it now. And don't ever wish to live forever, it might come true
I remember singing that as a kid all the time
same!
Me too. We are aging ourselves
@@annbrannigan3958 Nah, we'll always be young if we remember this song. I used to sing it with my "mudder" I mean Mother. 😄
@@nancydemoss8421 I used to sing with my Fadduh. My Muddah didnt know the words. LOL.
I still do
I haven't heard this since I was a kid listening to Dr. Demento on the radio! ❤
Everyone who disliked this was probably caught shoplifting at the local Try-N-Save.

I used to hear this on WKRC radio when i was a 10 year old kid. Now, im 60 and still enjoy hearing this. Thanks for the memories and reminding me of all that laughter so many years ago.
Sherman was a tv producer whose schtick was to take classical or pop standards and create funny lyrics for them. He cracked up enough people that he was encouraged to perform at parties and finally on records. This was the song that made him a national sensation. My other favorites were "Crazy Downtown" "Harvey and Sheila" and "One Hippopatomi". He died at age 48 from complications with obesity.
@Maxwell Moller l ol
Did you forget "Here's To The Crabgrass?"
Allan was way ahead of his contemporaries. A lot like Ernie Kovacs.
Both geniuses from another time.
My fifth grade art teacher would play this album on her record player for us if we promised to be quiet and keep this on the Q. T. Sure miss those days sometimes.
F for a fallen fat-buddy.
My grandma had this song on Vinyl before she passed away
God bless her soul may she Rest In Peace while dancing in the sun with Allen Sherman
Nope...she isn't resting in peace. Her soul is doing other things. Christianity is ignorant. People don't "pass away"..we croak. The Body ends, but the Soul continue on to do many other things. If you mean the Bible God to bless her, you really should read the Bible completely, word for word, page by page. You wouldn't ask that of that book character if you do. Obviously, I have...read the the book that way. Honestly.
@@biblebadcopycatofcuneiform8210 when did I ever imply that I like reading books after all there’s a thing called PDF, also I’m Wiccan I don’t read the Bible cuz it goes against my religious beliefs I moved away from Christianity for a lot of reasons I don’t wanna get into cuz A it’s no one’s business and B I find talking about churchy things to be uncomfortable. But otherwise thanks for the comment
much love
@@Yur_Commentator
"When did I ever imply that I like reading books?"
Ever? Maybe some time in one of your previous lives?
"There’s a thing called PDF."
Yeah, ehhh...Books are better. I like both.
"I’m Wiccan I don’t read the Bible cuz it goes against my religious beliefs I moved away from Christianity for a lot of reasons."
I was a hard-core Christian, look at my Avatar, and I know the Bible very well..I read it completely several times. I can go toe-to-toe if needed with them. Because I read it completely, I switched to Pagan. The Bible doesn't go against any "Beliefs" of Pagan or Wiccan, it uses and copies from Pagan/Wicca. You know who Mithra is, right? Where do you think the idea of Jesus/Yeshua comes from? Someone didn't help you very well in your switch from Christian to Wicca. Sad face.
I left Christianity because I noticed all of the flaws, errors, contradictions. I also peered deeply into the Christian past. I've read the correct translations of Cuneiform, and from Cuneiform You...Will..Find..the deepest Pagan/Wicca roots.
"A. It’s no one’s business and B. I find talking about churchy things to be uncomfortable. But otherwise thanks for the comment."
If "Churchy" stuff is uncomforable, dear one, then you haven't arrived at confidence in what you Know beyond beliefs. From someone that _knows_ what that means. Wink. It's not anyone's business, well, true enough if you're not ready.
I'm very confident, and I'll talk Church stuff if someone cares enough to challenge me. When you're ready, if you choose to become ready, you will be able to also.
Don't challenge others until you're ready. To be ready is to challenge yourself first.
Love without conditions, is something the Gods and Goddesses do, not conditional love..which is what's in the Bible.
Blessed Be, because you are. If you don't reply again, be WELL. Happy Yuletide (perverted into Christmas), Samhain (perverted into Halloween), Beltane..and so on. Warm smile.
My grandparents had this album also. Every summer as kids we would fly to visit them and I’d listen to that album over and over. They had two of them. This song parody was my favorite. They passed the records on to me. I have them still safe and sound 😊. Great memories!
@@mrssilencedogood4825 good for you mate memories are written with that song
MAAARGE is Lisa at Camp Granada?
Haven't seen this in decades!! We loved it as kids. Thank you for including the lyrics as we could never remember all of them. We were laughing too hard,!!
I first heard this song on a cassette tape named "Funny Songs" it alsonfeatured Buffalo Herd by Roger Miller.
My nana had a cassette that had this and a ton of silly songs like the itsy bitsy yellow polka bikini and a song about bubblegum on the bedpost. I listened to it all the time.
Was on one of my Dr Demento tapes
Love this. Memories. God bless everyone. Love from Ireland.
My parents used to sing this to us when I was a kid. My late father was hilarious, and it has become one of my fondest childhood memories. Thank you so much for posting this. You've made my day.
Even though I am French Canadian. we watched the Ed Sullivan show and I remember this song...Whenever I visited my parents in Montréal as a grown adult, when I got up in the morning I would sing to them...Hello Mother....Hello Father...it became a tradition...
I thought Clint Eastwood made your day?
@@thomaspick4123 I like that!
I was introduced to this song by my parents when I was growing up. They are both gone now. Precious memories. The original song was instrumental and part of a classic piece of music. I don't recall the composer.
@@joseedaoust7347 French Canadian? lol give me a break. You're an English speaking country, stop being such a pretentious flog
Jewish humour at its best. Sixty years ago this played on our radio almost daily, and I was so excited to hear it again and again. A brilliant little parody full of clever lines with surprise endings, using the music of Dance of the Hours from La Gioconda. I am delighted to discover this here.
Fun bit of music trivia. Lynrd Skynrd got their name from the character in this song & the fact that their drummer had a Gym Teacher named Leonard Skinner in high school & that sealed it.
Just watched this on Netflix ...the more you know 😁
I just learned about this reference. Previously, everyone only mentioned the gym coach.
Did you know that at a Lynrd Skynrd show once, the EMCEE announced, "Everybody. Lenard Skinner." The crowd went wild. Then the Gym teacher came out and said the he was Leonard Skinner and then introduced Lynrd Skynrd.
@Deven,good searching &Oh so True!!!
Skiiiiinnnnerrrrr!!!!
I remember this song when I was a kid . Am now nearly 70 I still laughed.
I love this song in the 70s this was a theme for downy fabric softener😊
Not sure how much longer this song will be around, kids today don't get any of the references.
@@mre4u422
Yeah they do.. just the wrong ones
Here in Germany the melody was used in the 80's and 90's for the commercial (from a cake factory).
The melody is catchy, so it will be used forever for something like that and while back than it wasn't always easy to even find out what the source of some song is.. the internet changed that, so everyone who wants to know about the melody that keeps repeating over and over in ones brain can find out and I am sure that a lot will end up with originals like this one.
Me too I still sing it to myself, haha
@@mre4u422 old man yells at cloud
My stepfather used to always sing this song. It’s one of my best memories. RIP Larry!!
I can’t believe I’m 40 and just now looked this up and learned all the words. I always say “hello mother hello father here I am at camp granada” when I call my mom and she gets a laugh every time.
I like that!
I'm 40 now too and am finally seeing this for the first time!
RIP, loved you tons. I always reflect and have only fond memoriePIR LARRY YOU AR E MISSED always in my heart and forever
My dad introduced this this song to me and my sisters when we were kids, along with Purple People Eater, Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, They’re Coming to Take Me Away and many others. Have had this song memorized for decades. Still laugh at it and have made sure my grandkids all heard it. Used to be able to hear them all on Dr. Demento radio broadcasts about 20 years ago. Those WERE the good old days!
I forgot about flying purple people eater 😢. My dad used to sing me that and this song
i thought this song was part of a fever dream turns out it’s real
Dead ass
I heard it on a flea commercial I think
Edit: it was on a K9 Advantix
Also the origin for Lynryd Skynyrd*
I always thought it was from a cartoon
@@mith2946 No. They named themselves after a high school coach who told them they would never make it
Arther on (a re-run of) "King of Queens" the other night was doing exercises to this song. Gosh it is O L D ! I had it way back when. I think High School which I graduated from in 1969, so it was before that. O L D ! !
Is it around 60 yrs since I first heard this recording on radio, its as hilarious now as it was back then and at the time it was never off the radio. Another great comedy classic.
My father played this for me when I was about 10. It was the funniest thing I had ever heard and was screaming and rolling with laughter! It is still the funniest ever and I miss my fadduh so much.
My dad passed in March 2021, COVID. He was 70 yrs. old, he used to sing parts of this when I was growing up.
I miss you dad.
he can't hear you Sandra
Sending all my love.
This man is extremely talented in working in his facial & hand gestures into the song.
It is still funny, 60 years later! I saw this when I was a kid, and never saw it again til now. And he is still funny, especially his deadpan delivery.
I was 10 when this came out, in 1963 my folks had the album. I also was sent to summer camp as a kid. The camp was in-town, about 30 minutes from our house in the suburbs. The camp was also in a suburb , but the area that wasn't developed yet, so it seemed like it was out in the wilderness, at least to my 10 year old self. It was a day camp, but there were 5 weekends through out the summer, where we stayed overnight. The camp provided horrible old fashioned folding cots. Basically canvas slings, on a folding wooden frame with legs beneath. We didn't even sleep outdoors,....but in the camp buildings, where a clean lavatory was a few steps away. But to a 10 year old, with zero camping experience, it was challenging. I had never slept away from my home, with other boys. I did enjoy the food we cooked over a campfire, and we did get into some night time hijinks,....the counselors told scary stories around the campfire. We learned classic camp songs, and the whole group of us sang them. We made fun stuff by gluing clean popsicle sticks together with Elmer's white glue,.....like a bird house, a small lamp shade, we wove vinyl lacing to make lanyards. Typically, I hated having to go to it all summer long, but by the time it was over,.....I didn't want to leave. There was a swimming pool, hiking trails, a miniature golf range, a horse shoe throwing area, archery, softball, volleyball, places to play tag and group player activities. I attended it for 3 Summers. It was just for boys, and I didn't know any of the other kids, they weren't from my suburb. But I made new friends, & some them remained my friends through my years in junior high school. I lost touch with them by time I went off to high school. When I was 13, I attended a Summer camp for creative kids. It was a Music, Arts and Crafts camp. By that period of time, I had already begun to make Art.
Who else got this in they’re feed for no apparent reason
Me
Me too
Yep
Me
What's rather odd is that I was thinking about this just last week. I didn't mention it or search for it or anything.
Google/UA-cam is some REALLY scary shit sometimes . . .
My aunt always played this every year when she dropped me off at a church camp and although I wasn’t born until about 70 years after it was written this song is engrained it my childhood forever. By the way I loved the camp, it’s not like I hated it, it was just a funny song to listen to on the drive.
I can’t wait for you to be born in 10 years ig…
This song plays at the summer camp I work at! One of my all time favorites.
Sounds like bad advertising lol
@@watchmarley9268 I doubt the kids listened to the lyrics- it played right before lunch.
We sang it, too. Were singing it while doing dishes at camp. We got a little out of hand with the silverware...but we laughed a lot.
I haven't listened to this song since 1963. And I still get the same filing now as I did in the Idaho State Youth Training Center. The reform school!
Sorry that happened to you. You didn't deserve the abuse.
This video was surprisingly only uploaded a month ago, I would have thought someone would have uploaded this a decade ago lol
Pretty sure this is a reupload. I watched this about a year back.
This fellow as well as USMC Gomer Pyle were my childhood! I am turning 82 next month, oh how time flies! 😂
P.S does anyone remember lawn darts?
I was almost going to say the same thing !
I always enjoyed Allan Sherman-who we lost way too soon! I used to okay his second album, “My Son, The Celebrity” over and over again when we had no tv in Germany in the mid-60s. Allan! Where are you when the world needs a funny guy!?
Every time I see Hello Mudah, Hello Fadda, I put it on my phone!!! Love it so much!!!
No swearing no cussing and amazingly humorous.
This is supposed to be funny? Comedy has clearly come a long way since the 60s.
I sae Alan perform this live at the Freedomlamd USA Amusement Park in NY in the early 1960's. It was located in the Bronx. I think the Lennon Susters were also on the same show. On another visit I met the 3 Stooges.
Just coming up to my 70th....boy this brings back wonderful memories of a simpler, much happier time. 😄
Hope you’re doing well :)

@@penjim2013 thats good to hear and thank you you too!
My God does this “song” by Alan Sherman bring back memories of my youth. I was a junior in HS, JFK was the President. The US was at the apex of it’s power.
Folk songs were all the rage on college campuses and radio.
High School proms, date nights with your girlfriend, letter sweaters, football games and long summer days at the beach, hoping the summer would never end.
I am 78 now. I’ve had a wonderful life. A few ups and downs but life has been very good to me.
But every now and then I long to go to those days of innocence and idealism. All of life was in front of us and all of our dreams were going to come true.
I remember the first time I heard this on Ed Sullivan, sitting on the floor with my older brother and little sister sharing a bowl of popcorn. Mom and dad hilariously laughing.
Leonard Skinner is mentioned in this song. Bob Burns, founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, said he mentioned the name to the band and they loved it.
My dad literally just sings the first line from this song and I never knew what he was talking about...until this showed up in my recommended for some reason.
LOLOL God works in mysterious ways!!! LOLOL
Your phone was spying when it heard your father saying it
Oh man, this song brings back a lot of childhood memories. I used to listen to this song all the time. Just a truly great classic.
My father and grandfather sang this together all the time, my grandfather now suffers from alzimers and is in a home, i hope i will be able to sing this with him for the first tike before he goes
my Dad would play an LP of all these songs back in the 70's. Good memories
Been listening to fantasia while doing homework, and EVERY TIME the Dance of the Hippos comes up, I have the phantom voice of this guy whispering lyrics in the back of my mind. Couldn't remember what they were but I could hear it anyway
I didn’t grow up in The States, so this was only a part of my childhood from that one quick cameo in The Simpsons, but I’d never looked it up.
Instead, I was looking for the song Granada, composed by the Mexican Agustín Lara, and bumped into this full version.
Turns out it still holds up. Had me cracking up the whole time he was singing. The performance, the ridiculous hat, and the silly lyrics are really terrific!
I lose it whenever I see this video! The classics NEVER get old! This is TRULY a classic!
This got old after 30 seconds
You had to live in that era. Jonathan Winters was also big at that time and then Bill Cosby came into the picture.
@@r3tr0actiongamer24 Like your att.......span became old?
what is funny or good about this? was comedy just less funny back then
@@biblebadcopycatofcuneiform8210 it's just not particularly funny is it
His LP, My Name is Allen?, was in the house we bought in 1963, along with several other albums. My favourite was the "Air Force high" song.
Cannot remember just how long it has been since I heard this last, it will be measured in decades.
We learned this at camp.....I can still sing it all and that was 40 years ago.....next up should come going on a lion hunt!
I remember discovering this record in my parents collection. I became a fan. They had two Allen Sherman albums (My Son The Nut and Allen Sherman Sings Funny Things, This Time With Strings). I listened until they were worn out.
I first heard this when I was at NW camp in Tuftonboro, NH in 1963. Everybody there cracked up.
I remember and still enjoy Sherman's delivery of this song. I am surprised that after all this time, I could sing along perfectly and laugh while I'm doing it.
My son is leaving for camp tomorrow. It's his first time away from home for a week. This song keeps playing in my head.
One of the few songs I've heard *many* times and never gets old. 😀
"Marge, is Lisa at camp granada?"
My good friend Stan Fiedler(Janesville, Wisconsin) use to play this a lot! He had an Arcade for the kids from the mid 1950s-1992! He'd play it in the arcade after the kids left at night on his Pioneer reel-to-reel machine! R I P, Stan!
Maybe he didn't have the "best voice", but the "Baby Boomers" (myself too!) LOVED THIS man' COMEDIC TALENT!
"You remember Leonard Skinner?"
As in the gym coach who helped remove the members of Lynyrd Skynrd from high school, giving inspiration to their name?
Dkelley I like a block from that high school! Where’d you learn that?
Young Leonard Skinner grew up to become a principal at Springfield Elementary, where he met the lovely miss Crabapple, he still had to deal with pesky kids such as that Bart fellow.
The Major your thinking of seymore
@@Lyerbait13 I read it years ago in a biography of the band, been a fan all my life
@@simplemann101 That's how I know about the song. Bob Burns talked about it in a documentary on the band.
I was 14 years old when I heard that song 1962 my whole family loved it we were happy then
Kids now a days don't know how good they have. Before the internet we had to sign songs like this from memory. Our memories and those around us who remembered. It was tough. If you didn't remember or know someone who did, than you just didn't get it. NOW songs like this are at the touch of everyone's fingertips!!! With the full version with the words to the song and even if they're not with the song, you can always google for the words. I'm glad that I'm still around to enjoy having social media.
Once you have heard this song, you cannot unhear it!
This album was released when I was five years old. I still have my original copy.
Lucky you.
This song has been a part of my childhood n my parents too. ❤
No idea what Camp Granada was or what it stood for, but the song is hilarious! First timer from Austria 🇦🇹.
camp granada is a kid
camp .
in the song it's just a name of a made up
camp.
It stands for every kid in a summer camp, schoene Gruesse!
I played this song for my wife who is from the Phillipines and was born in 1962, I was playing all the doo wop songs of the 50s, 60s, all the groupsi n the Golden Age ofRock & Roll music. Guess which is the one song she sings and hummms....?:0)
I only know this song from the old K9 Advantix comercial parody
I remember hearing this song on the radio, along with a couple of other nonsense tunes, like Naughty Lady of Shady Lane, Bimbo, and On Top of My Spaghetti (sung to the tune of On Top of Ol' Smoky). Our whole family enjoyed these. Lighthearted and humorous. We need more of that, today.
I learned “Return to Camp Granada” first as a kid. Counselors actually taught it to us at summer camp. A lot of this stuff is spot on. Ahhhh to be 11 again.
How do you have 500 subs and no videos
@@pluspens2134 Is it not obvious?
I remember listening to this in the early 80's, I was only 8 yrs. old. My parents sent me to Bible camp, I was nervous and scared, I thought of this song on the bus ride there. After a a couple days there I loved Bible camp. The bet thing my parents have ever done for me is introduce me to Jesus as my friend.
I love the way that Allan Sherman sang this song! I'm pretty sure that he wrote the lyrics and the music. I have a dvd set of game shows from the 1950s and the 1960s. During the show called "Shenanigans" Allan Sherman introduced a new board game that his uncle Milton Bradley created called "Camp Grenada." The copyright date for this particular show is 1964. I remember my older brother used to sing that "Camp Granada" song a lot. It's a fun song to sing. The board game called "Camp Grenada" that Allan Sherman's uncle Milton Bradley created was based on this song. Allan Sherman was the co-writer of this song.
Very cool info!! Thank you ‼️👍😀Very interesting 😀👍‼️
@@veronicagallo2035 You're welcome. 😊
He wrote the words but not the music. It is the Dance of the Hours from the opera “ La Gioconda” by Amilcare Ponchielli. It also appears in “Fantasia” danced by hippos and alligators.
Allan based the lyrics on letters of complaint which he received from his son Robert who was attending Summer Camp Champlain, in Westport, New York.
Allen Sherman was a great talentsnd a very.
funny guy,!
Who else could listen to Dance of the Hours and come up with this masterpiece?!? Genius!!
I was 10 when this came out. My friend down the street would blast it out of his house during the summer. The song was very popular.
I remember this growing up in the early 60's! Blast from the past!
My dad gave me this original 45 & i still have it today 💜
We wore out the one we had at my friends' house in about 1963.
I was 13 when this song first aired. Brings back a lot of memories from my Boy Scout days & field trips.
That was so cute, comical & decent. It's a shame we've lost such characteristics these days. I also remember the late Tim Conway played a musical instrument possibly a piano tune about this tune on an episode of The Carrol Burnett Show. It was so comical. I think he was competing with the late Harvey Corman who was playing classic tunes in another piano.
My elementary school teacher had this on an LP comedy album...she'd play it for us once or twice each year.
Good times!
People say Lynyrd Skynyrd got their name from their gym coach.
Another band member says he got it from this song & when he heard they wanted to name it after their gym coach, he agree & thought of this song, thinking it would be funny. & it was.
Yup, just watch a documentary called " If I leave here tomorrow: A film about Lynyrd Skynyrd" , and Bob Burns the original drummer is the one who brought it up
Stop it @ 0:44 when it says Leonard Skinner, I think that is how Lynyrd Skynyrd got its name
I heard the name Leonard Skinner and I immediately thought of Lynyrd Skynyrd out of nowhere.
It's actually both. They originally got the name from the song & used the name to describe when you hear a sound & nothing is there & then their drummer got a Gym Teacher named Leonard Skinner & that sealed the deal they changed their name to Lynrd Skynrd prior to that the band name was One Percent but that led to crowds throwing things at them on stage & saying they had 1% Talent when they played Honky Tonks acrossed the south
@@earltourangeau4428 That was a Great Documentary & the most thorough one I have seen on the band thus far.
I remember when this song came out and was played on the radio...
I remember when I was young we used to sing this. I also remember having his record albums
Apparently one of my greatest high school mates family was going to buy the actual camp that the song is based off of. I was told that the writer who my friend doesn't know is Allen Sherman went to the camp that the song is about but it wasn't called Camp granada. It was just named that after the song, but turns out that the place might be haunted because my friend showed me a picture he took of a room in one of the bunks. In that picture in the corner of the room you can see a dark area and what looks like to be a figure of some sort squatting in the corner. He said he did not see it until his girlfriend spotted it out in the picture. I saw the picture and yeah it gives me chills. The picture itself haunts my friend because he saw nothing when he was there in person but it shows up in the picture.
A random pop up in my feed & a big blast from the past….totally forgot this song existed!
The album that this song was on was called "My Son the Nut" my sisters wore this record out . A much simpler time.
Best regards from Camp Garanotta
This entire song was my first day of college
The first time I heard the whole song was on a record called "fun rock" (?) But as a 9 year old kid it was right up there with WOOLY BULLY!
great now i’m burdened with knowing that if my father ever finds this video i will never know peace
I LOVE LOVE THIS SONG. AND OTHER OLD SONGS LIKE THIS ONE......
In highschool I was with a group of kids and we would go out every other weekend and collect all sorts of samples from the different rivers in my state. Twice a year we would camp out over the weekend. We would drive the teachers nuts singing this on the bus on those two trips. Yeah we were nerds but we had a lot of fun.
yeah, AMAZING!!!! I saw this song sung in the 1950's, and I was just thinking about it yesterday! AMAZING!!;
lol I sang this as a kid!!! Those were much better days.

I love this song .. Keep safe to all..
