LARRY AND THE C.&A. Now let me tell you a story about a man named Larry on a tragic and fateful day, number 33 rang and he picked up his phone and all his hair turned grey. Chorus: Will we ever get paid no will never get paid as the money floats away We will rot forever in Onteora, We're the staff that never gets paid. Oh the double T crashed and the double T folded as the scouties got thrown away Oh Hank was a-moaning and Hank was a-crying 'Will Larry take it outta of my pay.' CHORUS Now all night long Larry sits in his office crying 'What will become of me. DeCanio's a'comin with the C&A committee and there really gonna dump on me' CHORUS Now the staff of Onteora don't you think its a scandal how we have to work all day, Fight the work increase VOTE FOR CHARLES M. Ruiz and get the scouties to stay away. FINAL CHORUS RISE AND SHINE CHORUS Rise and shine and give HIM your glory, glory Rise and shine and give HIM your glory, glory Rise and shine and (clap) give HIM your glory, glory Scouties go away Joe said to Larry, build me a campy, campy, (2x) Make it muddy, rake it dampy, dampy Scouties go away CHORUS Larry, he went and he hired him a staffee, staffee (2x) hired the staff and gave them the shaftee, shaftee scouties go away CHORUS The scouties they care in by troopie, troopie (2x) Brussells sprouties and Swabodi-odiodies scouties go away CHORUS Chiefs camp says being woodsy is lousy, lousy (2X) but its better then Mickey Mousey mousey scouties go away FINAL CHORUS LITTLE BILLY HARBRON Little Billy Harbron runnin through the Chiefs camp goosin up the scouties and bopping them on the head DOWN CAME THE BIG NOKES and he said Little Billy Harbron I don't want to see you goosin up the scouties and bopping then on the head I'll give you three chances, and if you misbehave I'll turn you into a LEEB The moral of the story is: Mickey Mouse, today, King Rat tomorrow DOWN THE HILL Down the hill there is a camp From his leanto he looked out Saw a scouty throwing rocks one hit him In the nose Help me, Help me Tribes he cried From the Phantom I must hide Won't you let me core up there Where Its safe and woodsy HI GANG HI DILLWHAT TIME IS IT? It's Billy Harbron time It's Billy Harbron time His camps not worth a dime It's not as good as mine Charlies Ruiz says Woodsy is the best It's better then all the rest Just put it to the test WITCHITA HUMPER I an a humper of the platforms and I bust my balls all day working all around for very little pay I can hear the scouts a comin and I see the ghost of Heim For the Wichita campsite was too much this time Now Bill is building platforms at the rate of one nail a day and if Bill keeps up this pace, he'll never stand the strain And the staff is really leaving And the staff is going away Because the Wichita humper got shafted today I know I need a long vacation But it just looks like rain and every campsite I hump into looks the same Mrs. James say its a hernia But Bill Harbron says there OK and the Wichita humper got ruptured today. |
