Songbook: 1984: Long John Don

LONG JOHN DON
1984 Camp Song

Chorus:
Long John Don,
What's them longjohns you got on?
Could it be a faded pair from days gone by?
And did I hear you say
You was a washin' 'em here today,
And hangin' 'em on the old clothesline to dry?

Verses:
In his younger days they called him "Long John Don" (Don!)
'Cause he always had his long johns on (on!).
'Til a mud storm of some degree came by his way (way!).
Now they're getting dirtier everyday.
Doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Making drumming motions).
He's forty-one and his long johns are still dirty (dirty!).
All the folks around Brownsville think he's nerdy (nerdy!).
'Cause he walks 'round town with long johns black as coal (coal!).
Looking for that mysterious washing hole.
Doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Making drumming motions).

After the second verse everyone stands and claps while singing the chorus.
