Subject(s): Buildings & Builders; Camping; Camps; Summer Camps
When Eddy bilt his mountin Camp,
He bought a lot of slate,
And then he went a blastin' rock
'Til wurk wuz three munths late;
This bee wuz buzzin' in his hed,
He neaded that big hole
Ter bild himself a tenis kort
And rocks fur his pay roll.
With tuns and tuns of dinermite
He give the wurld a shock,
He broke sum winders in my Camp
And nocked down Joseph's clock;
He went way down ter New York town
Ter get himself more cash
Ter buy anuther load or two
Fur wun grand final smash.
He figgered, when his hole wuz dun,
He'd nock a mountin top,
Fur he wuz celerbratin' so,
He didn't want ter stop.
'Most all the folks around the Lake
Wud take an even bet,
'Les sumwun steals his dinermite
He'll blow his hed off yet.
