CAMP

This parody of the popular Village People song was written as a staff skit for Webb Chapel church camp one summer.

I had almost forgotten about this until a friend of mine sent me a copy that she kept.

CAMP
(To the tune of YMCA by The Village People)

Young ones, there's no need to feel blue
I said, young ones, hear what we're sayin' to you
I said, young ones, though cabin life may be new
There's no need to be unhappy

Young ones, now you really must know
I said, young ones, this song and dance ain't for show
You'll have fun here, get yourself in the flow
And I know you'll have a good time

chorus
It's fun to come to church C-A-M-P
It's fun to come to church C-A-M-P
We have everything from swimming time to canteen
This year we're cleanin' our own latrines

C-A-M-P
It's fun to come to church C-A-M-P
Texas heat is so fun
You're getting hot in the sun
Never knew sweating could be so fun

verse 2
Old ones, now it's your turn you see
I said, old ones, with your seniority
I said, old ones, are you listening to me
For I've got one thing to tell you

Each year, ya'll think you've figured it out
You think you're here, to chase each other about
And it's such fun, hearin' a couple's new names
Even at camp we've got the dating game

chorus
It's never dull at church C-A-M-P
It's never dull at church C-A-M-P
Who likes who, watch out or she'll dump you
Please tell us if you like you-know-who

C-A-M-P
It's never dull at church C-A-M-P
Which guy will it be
Who'll be the cutest to see
It's like a yearly camp mystery

verse 3
Campers, we were once in your shoes
I said we were, we were once campers too
And even back then, it was all quite the same
That whole cabin clean-up was lame

But now, please don't misunderstand
For each one here, is a true camping fan
And we hope that, you're havin' fun all week long
As we close out this, our skit song

chorus
It's so much fun each year at C-A-M-P
It's so much fun each year at C-A-M-P
From the pool to mess hall
We're all havin' a ball
'Cept for those morning wake-up calls

C-A-M-P
It's so much fun each year at C-A-M-P
This song is now done
And we've all got to run
But there's more skits still to come...
