The Battle Of Kookamonga Lyrics By Homer And Jethro

    in nineteen and fiftynine we took a little hike
    with our scout master down to lake oneeganite
    we took a little pizza and we took some saurkrauts
    and we marched along together till we heard the girl scouts

    we’re the boys from camp kookamonga
    our mothers sent us here for to study nature’s ways
    we learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
    but if we catch the girls then we’ll set the woods ablaze

    and i was mad because me mother sent me up here hahaha

    well we crept up to the water and we see the girls aswimming
    there must’ve been a hundred of them pretty young women
    they looked so fine even birds forgot to sing
    we lay down in the poison oak and didn’t say a thing

    hey will one of you fellas scratch my back

    well our counselor said we could take them by surprise
    if we didn’t say a word till we looked them in the eyes
    we kept real still and we had our eyes aglued
    we saw how they were dressed they were swimming in the
    well now

    well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
    they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn’t go
    they ran so fast even we couldn’t catch them
    and we can even hike all the way to buffalo

    hey fellas wait for me

    well we ran right after them till everyone was pooped
    so we rested for a moment and our forces we regrouped
    then we saw the girls behind some evergreens
    captured by a company of united states marines

    aww those big guys get everything

    well they ran through the briars an they ran through the brambles
    they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn’t go
    they ran so fast even we couldn’t catch them
    and we can even hike all the way to buffalo

    arootietoottoot arootietoottoot
    ah we are the boys from the boy scout troop
    we don’t smoke and we don’t chew
    and we don’t go with the girls that do
