Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
words by Allen Sherman
Peaked at number 7 on 77 WABC, New York's weekly surveys
Billboard's number 25 song of the year
Hello Muddah, hello Faddah;
Here I am at camp Granada.
Camp is very entertaining;
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.
I went hiking with Joe Spivey;
He developed poison ivy.
You remember, Leonard Skinner?
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.
All the counselors hate the waiters;
And the lake has alligators.
And the head coach wants no sissies;
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.
Now I don't want this should scare ya',
But my bunkmate has Malaria.
You remember Jeffery Hardy;
They're about to organize a searching party.
Take me home, oh Muddah, Faddah;
Take me home, I hate Grenada.
Don't leave me out in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear.
Take me home;
I promise I will not make noise, or
Mess the house with other boys.
Oh please don't make me stay;
I've been here one whole day.
Dearest Faddah, Darling Muddah;
How's my precious little bruddah?
Let me come home if you miss me;
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.
Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing;
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing;
Playing baseball; gee that's bettah;
Muddah, Faddah, kindly disregard this letter.
