Blame it all on my roots,I showed up in boots
to the YMCA camp
the last one to show, the last one to know
about all the trouble awaiting me there
should have seen the surprise, and the fear in my eyes
when I met all the kids
They were rude and crude, and some of them were nude
That was the first time I said...

That I've got friends at Camp Benson
Where the kids all whine for no reason
all night and all day, but hey that's OK
And the counslers aren't big on social graces
gonna lock all the kids in the walk-in freezer
cause I've got friends, at Camp Benson

I guess I was wrong, these weeks seem so long
but now, it's the end of the camp
we'll just say goodby, try not to cry
and take our memories with
Hey I didn't mean, to cause you to scream
I'll tell you the secret within
I'll be thinking about all the fun we've had here, till the very end!

Cause I've got friends at Camp Benson
Where the kids all whine for no reason
all night and all day, but hey that's OK
And the counslers aren't big on social graces
gonna throw all the kids in the bat cave
cause I've got friends, at Camp Benson
