Camp Kare-Free Song Lyrics by Sammy Smith

Wish You Were Here (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1952

[Waiters]
Oh, What a pla-a-a-a-ace
It's a paradi-i-i-i-ise
To spend two wee-wee-wee-wee-weeks
At a modest pri-i-i-i-ice
Some folks have their Shangri La
Some their Valley High
But for me it's Camp Kare-Free, underneath the Catskill sky
[Kandel] Spoken
Welcome new comers, I am Lou Kandel you genial host. These boys are our waiters, all college men
[Waiters] Spoken
Raa Raa
[Kandel] Spoken
We got two mottos. Camp Kare-Free cares for you and number two comes midnight, candle lights flicker, thе boys gotta go to the boys side, the girls gotta go to thе girls side. Okay boys
[Waiters] Sung
Your health will glow-oh-oh-oh-oh
And your muscles fle-e-e-e-ex
You'll make good frie-e-e-e-ends
Of the opposite (whispered) Se-e-e-e-ex
Some folks have their Shangri La
Some their Valley High
[Ensamble]
But for me it's Camp Kare-Free, underneath the Catskill-
[Kandel]
Underneath the Catskill
[Ensamble]
Underneath the Catskill sky
[Waiters]
EYE!
