Lyrics to Hey Mom I Wanna Go Home!:

Oh, they say that at our scout camp the coffee's mighty fine.
It's great for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine!

Chorus:

Oh I don't want no more of Boy Scout Camp,
Hey mom I wanna go home!

Additional Verses:

Oh, they say that at our scout camp the biscuits are mighty fine.
One rolled off the table and killed a pal of mine!

Oh, they say that at our scout camp the tents are mighty fine.
They're made of old newspapers and poison ivy vine!

Oh, they say that at our scout camp the staff is mighty fine.
They act like Adolf Hitler and look like Frankenstein!

Oh, they say that at our scout camp the chicken's mighty fine.
One jumped off the table and started marking time!

Other versions of the same verses can be customized to almost any camp situation. For example:

Oh, they say at Camp Mitigwa, the coffee's.....

Oh, they say that at our church camp.....
