“Yo,ho,ho, wherever you tramp,
You’ll never find a place like Dunroamin Camp.
Yo, ho, ho, wherever you tramp,
You’ll never find a place like Dunroamin Camp.
Some go east, some go west,
But we go to the camp that’s best,
So yo, ho, ho, wherever you tramp,
You’ll never find a place like Dunroamin Camp.”

“To the knights in the days of old, keeping watch on the mountain height,
Came a vision of Holy Grail, and a voice through the waiting night,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam, Banners unfurled around the world,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam, of the chalice that is the Grail.
And we who would serve the King, and loyally Him obey,
In the consecrate silence know, that the challenge still holds today,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam, Banners unfurled around the world,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam, of the Light that shall bring the dawn.”
“It’ll be a long spring, and what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They’ll fly to the trees, and sway in the breeze,
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things.
It’ll be a long summer, and what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They’ll fly to the pool, to keep themselves cool.
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things.
It’ll be a long fall, and what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They’ll fly to the barn, to keep themselves warm.
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things.
It’ll be a long winter, and what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They’ll fly to the South, with a worm in their mouth,
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things.”
“Oh Camp Dunroamin,
We’re always thinking of Dunroamin,
We’ll tell the world we love you,
Don’t forget we’re coming to you,
We will dance and play and sing and everything,
Dunroamin, you are my inspiration,
Days are never blue,
After all is said and done there is really only one,,,,,,,,,,
Oh, Camp Dunroamin, it’s you,
I really mean it,
Camp Dunroamin it’s you!”

Camp Dunroamin
“Dunroamin, Camp Dunroamin
Where the Knats and the Fleas and the Chiggers bite,
Where we have a lot of fun every day and night,
Dunroamin, Oh Dunroamin,
Dunroamin, Camp Dunroamin,
Where the food gets better day by day
‘Cause Annie Mat’s the one that makes it that way
Dunroamin, Oh Dunroamin,
Mr. Jimmy and Mrs. Havelon keep us busy while we’re there,
So I guess I’ll have to travel on
To camp without a care.
Dunroamin, Camp Dunroamin,
Oh I guess I’ll never, ever see such a camp that suits me to a tee
Dunroamin, Oh Dunroamin”
