    C               F             C              G7     
The busses that you ride in, they say are mighty fine,  
    C                F            C                  G7     
But when they turn a corner, they leave the wheels behind.  
   
      C                             F      
Oh, I don't want to go to Boy Scout Camp.  
C                   F            C            G7   
Gee, Mom, I want to go, but they won't let me go;  
C                   F  C      
Hey, Mom, I want to go home.  
   
    C                 F               C              G7     
The leaders that they have here, they say are mighty fine,  
    C               F            C                      G7 
But when you get up closer, they look like Frankenstein .  
   
      C                             F      
Oh, I don't want to go to Boy Scout Camp.  
C                   F            C            G7   
Gee, Mom, I want to go, but they won't let me go;  
C                   F  C      
Hey, Mom, I want to go home.  
   
    C                   F              C             G7     
The first aid that they give you, they say is mighty fine,  
    C               F              C              G7     
But if you cut your finger, you're left with only nine.  
   
      C                             F      
Oh, I don't want to go to Boy Scout Camp.  
C                   F            C            G7   
Gee, Mom, I want to go, but they won't let me go;  
C                   F  C      
Hey, Mom, I want to go home.  
   
    C               F               C             G7     
The water that they have here, they say is mighty fine,  
    C               F            C                 G7     
But when you try to drink it, it tastes like turpentine.  
   
      C                             F      
Oh, I don't want to go to Boy Scout Camp.

The biscuits that they serve you, they say are mighty fine,  
    C                  F         C                  G7     
But one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine.  
   
    C                               F      
Oh, I don't want to go to Boy Scout Camp.

The spaghetti that they serve you, they say is mighty fine,  
     C            F          C               G7     
They rinse it the toilet and drain it on the line.  
   
    C                               F      
Oh, I don't want to go to Boy Scout Camp.

The cocoa that they serve you, they say is mighty fine,  
     C                 F           C                  G7 
It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine .  
   
    C                               F      
Oh, I don't want to go to Boy Scout Camp.

The tents that you sleep in, they say are mighty fine,  
    C                 F         C        G7     
But whoever said this has never slept in mine.  
   
    C                               F      
Oh, I don't want to go to Boy Scout Camp.

    C                 F                 C                  G7

     C             F           C                G7        C     
Last night my tent mate had to go, they haven't found him yet.
