I Don’t Want No More of Camping Life

Chorus:
    A7                      D
Oh, I don't want no more of camping life
G
Please mom, I wanna go
G
But they won't let me go
G             D7         G   D7 G
Please mom, I want to go hoo-oo-ome

G                                    D7
The leaders that they give you, they say they're mighty fine
D7                                       G
But when they take their makeup off they look like Frankenstein

(chorus in between each verse)

The nurses that they give you, they say they're mighty fine
But when you break a finger, they break the other nine

The donuts that they give you, they say they're mighty fine
But one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine

The toilets that they give you, they say they're mighty fine
But when you go to flush them, they cut off your behind

The water that they give you, they say it's mighty fine
But when you take a sip of it, it tastes like turpentine

The lifeguards that they give you, they say they're mighty fine
But when you say you're drowning, they say you're doing fine

Oh, I wish I were a little band-aid strip.
I'd stick to your hairs
And pull them out in pairs.
Oh, I wish I were a little band-aid strip.

Oh, I wish I were a little stinky skunk.
Oh, I wish I were a little stinky skunk.
I'd sit up in the trees
And perfume all the breeze.
Oh, I wish I were a little stinky skunk.

Oh, I wish I were a little sparrow bird.
Oh, I wish I were a little sparrow bird.
I'd sit up on the steeple
and dump on all the peeple.
Oh, I wish I were a little sparrow bird.

Oh, I wish I were a creepy scary ghost.
Oh, I wish I were a creepy scary ghost.
I'd give you such a scare

Titanic

         G                          C              G
Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue.
                                          A7                   D7
And they thought they had a ship that the water would never go through.
        G                    G7                CG                G
But the Good Lord raised his hand and said the ship would never land
       D7           G               G7
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Chorus:
       C                   G
It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
                                    D7
It was sad when the great ship went down (to the bottom of the....)
G                          G7                  C
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
       G            D7              G
It was sad when the great ship went down.

         G                               C             G
Oh, they sailed in from England and were almost to the shore
                         A7                 D7
When the rich refused to associate with the poor.
        G             G7                  C               G
So they put them down below, where they'd be the first to go.
       D7           G               G7
It was sad when the great ship went down.

- Chorus -

    G                              C              G
The ship was full of water and the sides about to burst,
                           A7                 D7
When the captain shouted: "Women and children first!"
        G                G7           C                 G
Oh, the captain tried to wire but the lines were all on fire
D7 G G7
It was sad when the great ship went down

- Chorus -

        G                                C               G
Oh they swung the lifeboats out o'er the deep and raging sea
                             A7               D7
When the band struck up with Nearer My God to Thee
       G                 G7           C                    G
Little children wept and cried as the waves swept o'er the side
       D7           C               G7
It was sad when the great ship went down.

- Chorus -

     G                          C                   G
Lady Aster turned around as she watched her husband drown 
                     A7              D7
And the ship Titanic made a gurgling sound
       G                  G7           C                G
So she wrapped herself in mink and she called herself a fink
       D7            G               G7
It was sad when that great ship went down

- Chorus -

    G                      C               G
The moral of the story, as you can plainly see,
                                A7              D7
Is to wear a life preserver and never go out to sea.
          G             G7           C                 G
Keep your feet upon the ground, ever pure and faithful be
       D7           G               G7
It was sad when the great ship went down

       C                   G
It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
                                    D7
It was sad when the great ship went down (to the bottom of the....)
G            G7            C                   G
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
       G            D7              G
It was sad when the great ship went down.
                                        G   G7   C  G
Ker-plunk, it sunk to the bottom of the sea
       C            D7              G
It was sad when the great ship went down


Lines I've never heard:

When the people on the ship were a long way from home,
With the people all around them didn't know their time had come.
But Death came ridin' by, sixteen hundred had to die.
It was sad when that great ship went down

The captain stood on deck with a tear drop in his eye
As the last boat went out, he waved them all goodbye
He knew he made a slip, so he went down with his ship
It was sad when the great ship went down

It was a night none would forget, even millionaires got wet!
