I live in this city but I hear that there's a lot of people out here who
like to camp. Is that true? Do we have any of you in the crowd? Campers. Okay I've
written a song for you. In the middle of the song there's something I want you to
do. So I'll point it out. It's my tribute to country living. Oh I'm in love with a man
who loves to camp. He camps when it's sunny. He camps when it's damp. All he
needs is a tent, a sleeping roll, a pack of hot dogs, and a sack of charcoal. He
camps in the desert. He camps in the snow. He says, baby come with me. I say no.
You see I like hot showers and I like ice. The cool cotton sheets on my bed
feel so nice. I'm afraid of little animals. I'm scared of big bugs. I like the
feel of bare feet and a burr burr rug. I can't stand border sands, community, so if I say
baby stay with me. He says no.
So I said why deprive yourself of the great circumference? It's taken man so long to
invent. And he says something about Walden. Throw him back to Woodstock. Living
his life in a tent. And then he went on. I get so scared he's out there in the
wild woods. Can you all make wild animal noises like you hear in the woods?
See what I mean? How scary that is? And I heard some wild slug noises in there, I swear.
Oh I can picture him now by a Babylon brook. Snapping at mosquitoes, sleeping
bed on a hook. I could shoot a bear, sniffing around for something to steal. Oh bears, eat the hot dogs.
Don't make my baby a meal. This whole scenario, it gave me such a fright.
To think he could have stayed with me tonight. Where my air conditioner makes a
real cool breeze. Not unlike the wind, whizzing through the trees. I got stories on my
ceiling. The glow in the dark will open up the windows. We can hear the birds in the
park. I'll put Wild Kingdom on my TV. This might not be camping, but it's pretty
close. Oh honey, I'll act as primitive as you want me to be. This might not be
camping, but it's close enough for me.
Thank you. Christine Lavin, listen to General P.D.C. live music show on HIP radio, 93.5 out of Hollister.
