Mother dearest
It's band camp again
We're looking forward to staying the week
With no family, just friends
We pack and repack
Throwing things in
No reason to bring them
Just for memories, but then…
No! No! Mom, don't take the Tylenol!
It's the thing that keeps me from driving up the wall!
It's time to go
I'm crying
As I look around my room
Will I last till Thursday
Or at band camp meet my doom?
Grab the horn
Go out the door
Run back in for more
Drugs and pills
Prescriptions for all ills
NO! Dad, turn the truck around!
I forgot the Midol!
No, it's not that time,
I need it for the color guard!
Oh, no. I've been on the road five hours and yet
I've just found out my sleeping bag is wet
How did it get that way?
Oh, no…puppy dies, puppy dies
I don't care about the damn flies!
NO! Not the Gold Bond! NO!
No peppermint waterfall
Not in MY sports bra
We've arrived
Oh, God, it's death and dying
There goes a drumline and my dad
The sole chance for surviving
I look around here
I'm full of fear
And…wait…YAY!
Hooray! It's band camp
And there's a friend
Not to mention that hot senior guy
I will annoy to no end
