Let me work here, for Britain's sake at any task you will, A marsh to drain, a road to make, or native troops to drill. Some Western Camp, I know the Pict, or granite Boarder Keep. Neath seas of heather derelict, where our old mess mates sleep.
What care I for your goose-feather bed The sheets turned down so bravely-O Tonight I'll sleep in a cold open field Along with the wraggle-taggle gypsies-O
The bee shall honey taste no more, The dove become a ranger, The dashing waves shall cease to roar Ere she's to me a stranger. But now I'm bound to Brighton camp, Kind heav'n, may favor find me, And send me safely back again To the girl I left behind me.

Camptown ladies sing this song
Doo dah, doo dah
(that's not eight words; doo dah isn't even a word.)
Camptown race track....
Now it is.

Let's gather round the campfire, and sing our campfire song,
our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song....

Hello Muddah, hello Faddah
Here I am at Camp Granada
(I don't remember who did it.)
Hey Lord, would you look out for her tonight
If she is sleepin' under the sky
Hey Lord, make sure the ground she's sleepin' on
Is always warm and dry

One evening quite early they camped on the Platte...
(blah blah...)...
and showed her bare arse to the whole wagon train
(maybe not the same verse, but the scene I remembered and one of the few lines I remember from "Sweet Betsey from Pike")
The bee shall honey taste no more,
The dove become a ranger,
The dashing waves shall cease to roar
Ere she's to me a stranger.
But now I'm bound to Brighton camp,
Kind heav'n, may favor find me,
And send me safely back again
To the girl I left behind me.

I got my gear in my pack.
I got my pack on my back.
Today's the day I'm going camping...
It's from Sesame Street! I heard it about a week ago when Tamzin babysat for our neighbors twins.
I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight
