Lyrics
Darling Mother, Dearest Father
I am here at Camp Sonata
And they say it will be entertainin'
and we'll have fun when Joey stops complainin'.
I was singin' with Molly Partin
and she wouldn't stop fartin'
She brought me to my knees
and even made me sneeze.
All the drummers hate the singers
and the pianists are all whingers
The leaders all talk in riddles
as they play on their fiddles.
Leave me here please mother, father
Leave me here, I truly love Camp Sonata
Don't take me home
where I might get eaten by a gnome
Leave me here, I promise I'll be good
and I'll chop up all the wood
Please don't make me leave
and cause my heart to grieve.
Now I want you to be happy
and nevermore be snappy
I am startin' to learn cookin'
and add more spices when they're not lookin'.
Darling Mother, dearest father
How's my sweetest baby brother
Leave me here, you won't miss me
and the leaders here all kiss me.
Little Joey's stopped complainin'
and he's now bein' entertainin'
Mother, Father I hope you get my letter
Camp Sonata is really getting so much better.
Leave me here please mother, father
Leave me here, I love Camp Sonata
Don't take me home
where I might get eaten by a gnome
Leave me here, I promise I'll be good
and I'll chop up all the wood
Please don't make me leave
and cause my heart to grieve.
