[00:00:00] The Battle Of Kookamonga - Homer/June Carter

[00:00:10] In nineteen and fifty-nine we took a little hike

[00:00:12] With our scout master down to Lake Oneeganite

[00:00:15] We took a little pizza and we took some saurkrauts

[00:00:18] And we marched along together

[00:00:19] Till we heard the girl scouts

[00:00:21] We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga

[00:00:24] Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways

[00:00:26] We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

[00:00:29] But if we catch the girls

[00:00:30] Then we'll set the woods ablaze

[00:00:32] And I was mad because me mother

[00:00:34] Sent me up here ha-ha-ha

[00:00:37] Well we crept up to the water

[00:00:39] And we see the girls swimming

[00:00:40] There must've been a hundred of them

[00:00:42] Pretty young women

[00:00:43] They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing

[00:00:46] We lay down in the poison oak

[00:00:47] And didn't say a thing

[00:00:49] We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga

[00:00:51] Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways

[00:00:54] We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

[00:00:57] But if we catch the girls

[00:00:58] Then we'll set the woods ablaze

[00:01:00] Hey will one of you fellas scratch my back

[00:01:04] Well our counselor said

[00:01:06] We could take them by surprise

[00:01:07] If we didn't say a word

[00:01:08] Till we looked them in the eyes

[00:01:10] We kept real still

[00:01:11] And we had our eyes aglued

[00:01:13] We saw how they were dressed

[00:01:14] They were swimming in the

[00:01:15] Well now

[00:01:16] We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga

[00:01:19] Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways

[00:01:22] We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

[00:01:24] But if we catch the girls

[00:01:26] Then we'll set the woods ablaze

[00:01:27] Well they ran through the briars

[00:01:28] And they ran through the brambles

[00:01:30] They ran through the bushes

[00:01:31] Where a rabbit couldn't go

[00:01:33] They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them

[00:01:35] And we can even hike all the way to Buffalo

[00:01:39] Hey fellas wait for me

[00:01:41] Well we ran right after them

[00:01:43] Till everyone was pooped

[00:01:44] So we rested for a minute

[00:01:45] And our forces we regrouped

[00:01:47] Then we saw the girls behind some evergreens

[00:01:50] Captured by a company of United States Marines

[00:01:53] We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga

[00:01:55] Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways

[00:01:58] We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

[00:02:01] But if we catch the girls

[00:02:02] Then we'll set the woods ablaze

[00:02:04] Aww those big guys get everything

[00:02:07] Well they ran through the briars

[00:02:09] And they ran through the brambles

[00:02:10] And they ran through the bushes

[00:02:12] Where a rabbit couldn't go

[00:02:13] They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them

[00:02:16] And we can even hike all the way to Buffalo

[00:02:21] A-rootie-toot-toot a-rootie-toot-toot

[00:02:23] Ah we are the boys from the boy scout troop

[00:02:26] We don't smoke and we don't chew

[00:02:29] And we don't go with the girls that do
