Traveling Young Writers Camp 2001

Scream, scream, scream, scream,
Scream, scream, scream, scream.

When I see you - running down the court,
when I see you - playing your sport

Whenever we watch you all we want to do is scream....
Scream, scream, scream, scream

You miss a dunk and trip and fall
You take a shot and lose the ball

Whenever we watch you all we want to do is scream

You can make us cry, so we wonder why
We even watch you play,
Only trouble is, gee whiz, you're losing the season away.

You stink so bad - you make me cry
Lose again - you will die,
Whenever we watch you all we want to do is scream.

Scream, scream, scream, scream,
Scream, scream, scream, scream

"I'm Too Tired"

parody of "Light My Fire" by The Doors

You know that it would be too soon,
You know that I would be a grouch,
If I were to wake up now,
I'd fall apart upon the couch.

(Chorus)
Come on, Mommy, I'm too tired,
Come on, Mommy, I'm too tired,
If I'm late I won't get fired.

You know that I can see the moon.
The sky is dark and starry blue.
You know I need to use the loo.
I stepped in something, feels like goo.

(Chorus)
Come on, Mommy, I'm too tired,
Come on, Mommy, I'm too tired,
If I'm late I won't get fired.

"Pork Thing"

parody of "Wild Thing" by The Troggs

Pork Thing,
Such a dark thing.
You make my fork sing, "Gravy,"
I said, "I'm hungry."

Pork Thing,
I think I'm hungry.
But it's not lunch time.
Come on and take a bite.
Yum, I love you.

Pork Thing,
Such a dark thing.
You make my fork sing, "Gravy,"
I said, "I'm hungry."

Pork Thing,
I think you fill me
But I want room for more
So come on, bring it on
You taunt me.

"Buff the Tragic Hot Dog"

parody of "Puff the Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul, and Mary

"Rubber Chicken"

parody of "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison

Rubber Chicken, throw it down the street,
Rubber Chicken, the kind you'd like to eat,
Rubber Chicken, you are as yummy as can be!
Won't you come and dance with me? Turkey!

Rubber Chicken, won't you jump with me?
Rubber Chicken, you drive me cra-zee.
Rubber Chicken, you have such gross, smelly feet.
Do you like dark or white meat?

Rubber Chicken, you're out of style,
Rubber Chicken, why don't you smile?
Rubber Chicken, bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk.

Rubber Chicken, you're out of style,
Rubber Chicken, why don't you smile?
Rubber Chicken, bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk.

Cause I need you, I'll treat you right.
Come on, chicken, be mine tonight.

Rubber Chicken, why can't you fly?
Rubber Chickens can't touch the sky,
Rubber Chickens make awful pot pies.

(Spoken) If that's the way it must be, OK,
I guess I'll go on home, it's late,
We'll meet tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see?
It's my rubber chicken waddlin' back to me,
Yeah, it's waddlin' back to me.
Oh!

"Chicken House Squawk"

parody of "Jail House Rock" performed by Elvis Presley

The farmer threw a party in the chicken coop,
The Grand Old Chicken did the loop-de-loop,
The farmer dressed up as a Canadian moose,
Did the can-can and fell on his caboose.

Chorus:
Let's squawk, everybody let's squawk!
Everybody do the chicken walk.
Flap your wings and squawk!

All the little porkies did the sausage jig.
Bessie the Cow wore a silly wig,
Roger the Rooster did the cock-a-doodle-doo,
The farmer's wife shouted, "Join us, too!"

(Chorus)

The tractor pulled a trailer full of big ol' spuds,
The horse took a dive into a pool of suds,
The dog went a'waltzing with the barnyard cat,
Everybody ran from the big fat rat.

(Chorus)

"Really Clean Latrine"

parody of "Yellow Submarine" by Lennon and McCartney

In the town where I was bored,
Lived a dog who talked to me,
And he told us of his wife,
In the Land of Clean Latrines,
So he drove us all around,
Till we found a clean latrine,
So we washed our dirty hands,
As we left the clean latrine.

We all live in a really clean latrine, really clean latrine, really clean latrine,
We all live in a really clean latrine, really clean latrine, really clean latrine.

As we use our toiletries, toilet paper is what we need.
Tidy Bowl of blue and green.

We all live in a really clean latrine, really clean latrine, really clean latrine,
We all live in a really clean latrine, really clean latrine, really clean latrine.

As we use our toiletries, toilet paper is what we need.
Tidy Bowl of blue and green,
In our really, clean latrine.

We all live in a really clean latrine, really clean latrine, really clean latrine,
We all live in a really clean latrine, really clean latrine, really clean latrine.

"Meatloaf's in the Pan"

parody of "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers

There's a mom who's cooking is a danger,
It's so bad you'll need to call a ranger,
With every bite you take,
You'll get a tummy ache,
Odds are you won't live to eat tomorrow.

(Chorus)
Meat loaf's in the pan,
Meat loaf's in the pan,
It's giving you the hearburn,
And drivin' you insane.

Lyrics written by Monica, Chelsea, Rachel, Jaime

"We're Off to Buy a Toad-brush"

parody of "We're Off to See the Wizard" from "The Wizard of Oz"

Don't brush your teeth with a toad,
Don't brush your teeth with a toad,
Swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow a really big toad.
Swallow a toad with peaches and cream,
Swallow a toad before he screams,
Swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow a really big toad.

We're off to buy a toad-brush,
And gargle a mouthful of slugs,
We like the taste the wonderful taste, the wonderful taste of bugs,
If ever, oh ever you taste a slug,
Swallow the slugs before the bugs,
The bugs, the bugs, the bugs, the bugs, the bugs!
Because of the wonderful taste of their mugs.

Lyrics written by Ashley, Carly, Bethany, Caleb, Nicole, Cambria
