Camp Corona

I woke up this morning with that old Allan Sherman "Camp Granada" song in my head.
[linked here if you have no clue what that is]

I rewrote the lyrics. Please feel free to add a stanza based on your quarantine life.


Hello Muddah, hello Faddah
Here I am at Camp Corona
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun when we stop quarantining

Got up early drank some coffee
A big breakfast, what time might lunch be?
Made a sandwich, winner winner
Netflix, Hulu, Prime or Disney, what time's dinner?

Played Monopoly with my sister
printing money like the Fed here
went to jail couldn't throw doubles
spent three turns there, got the virus - bring a shovel

Now it's time for the White House task force
Dr. Fauci sure does sound hoarse
This 4-foot munchkin restricts my travel
with a voice that sounds like he's been vaping gravel

Questions from fake news reporters
Full of lies and should be called distorters
Trump's a cat with a yarn ball while they're misleading
I wonder if Acosta will get a tourniquet to stop that bleeding

I went shopping for more groceries
In the 'fridge are only berries
bed sheet face mask wrap my head with excess like a turban
I'll be damned if I get stuck here out of bourbon

Wait a minute, they've got whiskey
Rows of Maker's, Knob Creek, Jim Beam and Wild Turkey
Sipping Woodford, gee that's bettah
Muddah, Faddah kindly disregard this letter

  1. Ugh ... I remember that song from so many years ago. It resonated with me because my parents sent me to camp for two weeks and this may explain why my personality has so many question marks. But thanks for putting the tune in my head; it will no doubt stay there until I begin humming "Henry the 8th I am, I am ...

  2. I'm afraid I cannot improve on your version..

    1. If you were sexually traumatized, we definitely didn't go to the same camp. The camp I attended wasn't affiliated with BSA. Anyway, back then, the parts in my lower extremities only had but one purpose.

    2. Sorry, AOW. I thought I would get rid of it by infecting you but apparently there is no immunity from ear worm. Especially when Mustang keeps inspiring me for the next installment
