THE BATTLE OF CUCAMONGA

Homer and Jethro



In Nineteen and fifty-nine we took a little hike

With our Scoutmaster down to Lake Aneekanike

We took a little pizza and we took some sauerkraut

And we marched along together till we heard the Girl Scouts



Oh, we're the boys from Camp Cucamonga

Our mothers sent us here for to study Nature's ways

We learn to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze

(And I was mad 'cause me mother sent me up here - ha ha ha)



Well, we crept up to the water and we seen the girls a-swimmin'

There must have been a hunnered of them pretty young women

They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing

We laid down in the poison oak and didn't say a thing



Oh, we're the boys from Camp Cucamonga

Our mothers sent us here for to study Nature's ways

We learn to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze

(Hey, will one of you fellers scratch my back?)



Well, our counselor said we could take 'em by surprise

If we didn't say a word till we looked 'em in the eyes

We kept real still, and we had our eyes a-glued

We saw how they were dressed - they were swimming in the...



Well, now, we're the boys from Camp Cucamonga

Our mothers sent us here for to study Nature's ways

We learn to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze



Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the

brambles

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

They ran so fast even we couldn't catch 'em

>From Lake Aneekanike all the way to Buffalo

(Hey, fellers, wait for me!)



Well, we ran right after them till everyone was pooped

So we rested for a minute and our forces we regrouped

Then we saw the girls behind some evergreens

Captured by a company of United States Marines



Oh, we're the boys from Camp Cucamonga

Our mothers sent us here for to study Nature's ways

We learn to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze

(Ah, them big guys get everything!)



Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the

brambles

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

They ran so fast even we couldn't catch 'em

>From Lake Aneekanike all the way to Buffalo



(A rooty toot toot, a rooty toot toot

Oh, we are the boys from the Boy Scout troop

We don't smoke, and we don't chew

And we don't go with the girls that do
