Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah

00875.000 HELLO, MUDDUH, HELLO, FADDUH

Hello, [A] Mudduh, hello, [E7] Fadduh,
Here I am at Camp [A] Grenada.
Camp is [C#7] very enter-[D]-taining,
And they [A] say we’ll have some [E] fun if it stops [A] raining.

I went [A] hiking with Joe [E7] Spivy;
He developed poison [A] ivy.
You [C#7] remember Leonard [D]Skinner?
He got [A] ptomaine poisoning [E]last night after [A] dinner.

All the [A] counselors hate the [E7] waiters,
And the lake has [A] alligators.
And the [C#7] head coach wants no [D]sissies,
So he [A] reads to us from [E]something called [A] Ulysses.

Now I [A] don’t want this to [E7] scare ya,
But my bunkmate has [A] malaria.
You [C#7] remember Jeffery [D] Hardy?
They’re [A] about to [E] organize a searching [A] party.

[Am] Take me [Dm] home, oh mudduh, fadduh,
[Am] take me [Dm]home, I hate Grenada;
[Am] don’t leave [C] me out in the forest
[F] Where I might get [E] eaten by a bear.

[Am] Take me [Dm] home, I promise I will
[Am] not make [Dm] noise, or mess the house with
[Am] other [C] boys.  Oh please don’t make me
[F] stay – I’ve been here [E] one whole day!

Dearest [A] fadduh, darling [E7] mudduh,
How’s my precious little [A] brudduh?
Let me [C#7] come home, if you [D] miss me.
I would [A] even let Aunt [E] Bertha hug and [A] kiss me.

Wait a [A] minute, it stopped [E7] hailing,
Guys are [E7] swimming, guys are [A] sailing,
Playing [C#7] baseball, gee, that’s [D] better.
Mudduh, [A] Fadduh, kindly [E] disregard this [A] letter.
