Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah:Alan Sherman.
#14 in UK & #2 USA in 63.
#1.
Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh, Here I am at Camp Grenada.
Camp is very entertaining,
and they say we ll have some fun if it stops raining.
I went hiking with Joe Spivy...he developed poison ivy.
You remember Leonard Skinner?
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.
#2.
All the counselors hate the waiters,
And the lake has alligators.
And the head coach wants no sissies,
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.
Now I don t want, this should scare ya,
But my bunkmate has malaria.
You remember Jeffrey Hardy?
They re about to organize a searching party.
CHORUS:
Take me home, oh muddah fadduh, take me home,
I hate Grenada.
Don t leave me out in the forest,
where I might get eaten by a bear.
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise
or mess the house with
oth..er boys, oh please don t make me stay,
I ve been here one, whole, day.
#3.
Dearest fadduh, darling muddah,
How s my precious little bruddah?
Let me come home if ya miss me
I will even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing,
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing,
Playing baseball, gee that s better,
Muddah Fadduh please disregard this letter.
