The Old Campfire
If the grandkids come to visit
In the nice warm summer time
Our favorite way to babysit
Is to go outside to dine
Out behind the cabin,
Is a fire pit in the round
With lots of wood available
From trees that we’ve cut down
Our dinner will be hot dogs
We’ll cook them on a stick
Then sit down on a great big log
Don’t put mustard on too thick
As we sit around the campfire
No doubt we’ll sing a song
All Together we’ll be a choir
And I’ll have my uke along
Then we’ll let the fire burn low
Toast Marshmallows til they’re brown
Embers pop out, continue to glow
They can burn and make you frown
Now douse the fire it’s getting late
It’s time for the kids to retire
What we did today that was truly great
Was have fun around the old Campfire
