Lyrics

Episode and Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons version

Counselor:

All right, you balls of pan drippings! I wanna see Crisco coming outta those pores! We're not leaving until this Christmas HAM gives me a pull-up!

Campers:

Hail to thee, Kamp Krusty,

By the shores of Big Snake Lake.

Though your swings are rusty,

We know they'll never break.

Kearney:

LOUDER! FASTER!

Campers:

From your gleaming mess hall

To your hallowed baseball field

To your spic 'n' spam infirmary

Where all our wounds are healed.

Hail to thee, Kamp Krusty,

Below Mt. Avalanche.

We will always love Kamp Krusty...

Krusty:

Hi, everybody! I'm Krusty the Clown! (goofy laugh) And I'd like to welcome the parents and/or the closest living relative to Kamp Krusty on Parents and/or the Closest Living Relative Day! We're gonna begin by singing the Kamp Krusty Song and then later, as a treat, some of the specially selected campers (ones who can sing) will sing it in their own special way. Take it away, maestro! (goofy laugh)

Krusty and Campers

Hail to thee, Kamp Krusty,

By the shores of Big Snake Lake.

Though your swings are rusty,

We know they'll never break.

From your gleaming mess hall

To your hallowed baseball field

And your spic 'n' spam infirmary

Where all our wounds are healed.

Hail to thee, Kamp Krusty,

Below Mt. Avalanche.

We will always love Kamp Krusty...

Bart:

Let's rock this puppy! Come on, Otto Mann!

(the song switches to a Jimi Hendrix style rock song)

Otto:

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Heh-heh-heh! Yeah! Woah!

Hail to thee, Kamp Krusty,

I'm the transportation dude.

I got the gig when they saw my sign,

It said, "I will work for food!"

So, hail! Yeah, hail! Alright, hail!

Take it away, Lisa.

(the song switches to a jazz version)

Lisa:

Hail to thee, Kamp Krusty,

With your frequent moose attacks.

There are skunks in half the bunks

But at least I've got my sax.

And I'd like to play.

(plays saxophone)

Okay, Martin, dazzle 'em.

(the song becomes a Baroque-esque song with a harpsichord playing)

Martin Prince, Jr.:

A pox on thee, Kamp Krusty!

I came here to lose weight!

O fate most cruel, they fed me gruel

And stuff that looks like bait.

(gasps)

And a pox on thee, Clown Krusty!

Your behavior gives us pause.

Your heart is hard, you have no regard

For the state's child labor laws!

A pox on thee, Kamp Krusty!

We are yearning to be free!

We will ne'er return to Krusty!

Bart:

Aw, put a lid on it, Martin, let's rock this camp!

(the song becomes a rock song)

I HATE IT!

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

CAN'T STAND IT!

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

LET'S BURN IT!

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

LET'S FRY IT!

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

DON'T TRY IT!

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

ELECTROCUTE IT!

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

LET'S DO IT!

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

ANNIHILATE IT!

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

REGURGITATE IT!

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

Campers:

KAMP KRUSTY!!

Bart:

I HATE IT!

Campers:

Bart:
