Artist/Band: Allan Sherman
Lyrics for Song: Camp Grenada (Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah)
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Allan Sherman



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 Spivy

He developed poison ivy

You remember Leonard Skinner

He got ptomaine poison 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.



How I don't want this to scare ya

But my bunkmate has malaria

You remember Jeffrey Hardy

They're about to organize a searching party.



Take me home, oh muddah, faddah

Take me home, I hate Granada

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 better

Muddah, faddah kindly disregard this letter.


About Camp Grenada (Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah)

Allan Sherman's "Camp Grenada (Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah)" stands as a quintessential example of his signature comedic pop style, blending upbeat instrumentation with a narrative about military life and family separation. Released in the mid-1960s, the track exemplifies Sherman's ability to craft catchy melodies that served as the backbone for his theatrical productions and television specials. The song's lyrics, which address a soldier stationed abroad and their waiting relatives, resonated deeply with audiences during the era of the Vietnam War, capturing the emotional tension of the time. As a key component of Sherman's broader discography and stage repertoire, the recording showcases his talent for integrating humor with heartfelt sentiment. It remains a staple in collections of American musical comedy and reflects the broader cultural fascination with military themes prevalent in popular music of the 1960s. The song's enduring appeal lies in its simple yet effective structure, which allowed it to cross over from live performances to radio airwaves, cementing Sherman's legacy as a master of the comedy-pop genre.
