At Pinewoods Camp, the meals are great
(Mark well, what I do say!)
At Pinewoods Camp, the meals are great
But who d'you think puts down your plates?
Chorus:
The tables have to get set up before each meal.
The tables, the tables
With all the things you need to eat
The tables have to get set up before each meal!
The knives and forks all placed for you
(Mark well, what I do say!)
The pitchers, dressing, napkins too
Arranging it's a bloody zoo!
(Chorus)
And then at last, the platters come
(Mark well, what I do say!)
They're heavy, hot, bless your luck dumb
That they're not spilled 'cause we're all thumbs
(Chorus)
