B
      G                 D7                         G
Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh, Here I am at Camp Granada.
        B7       Em
Camp is very entertaining,
         A7                                     D7
and they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.
G                           D7                      G
I went hiking with Joe Spivey...he developed poison ivy.
    B7                 C
You remember Leonard Skinner?
                      D7                   G   
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.

    G                       D7                
All the counselors hate the waiters,
                    G
And the lake has alligators.
       B7                       Em
And the head coach wants no sissies,
    A7                                  D7
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.
    G                               D7
Now I don't want, this should scare ya,
                        G
But my bunkmate has malaria.
    B7                      C
You remember Jeffrey Hardy?
          G           D7         D        G
They're about to organize a searching party.

 Chorus :
Em     Am6                        Em     Am6
Take me home, oh muddah fadduh, take me home,

I hate Granada.
G     C          G    
Don't leave me out in the forest, 
Am9                     B7     C7  B7 C7 B7
where I might get eaten by a bear.
Em     Am6                        Em     Am6
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise 

or mess the house with
G     C                               Am9
oth..er boys, oh please don't make me stay,
           B7   C7  B7 C7 B7
I've been here one, whole, day.
