Song
Lyrics:

Black socks, they never get dirty

The longer you wear them the blacker they get.

Sometimes, I think I should wash them

But something inside me keeps saying not yet, not yet, not yet.

White Wings, They never grow weary,

The carry me cheerily, over the sea.

Night falls, I long for Sweyolakan

''I’ll spread out my white wings and sail home to thee, to thee, to thee. (This verse included as a tease aimed certain staff insisting they were different tunes)''

Green Beans, they never get eaten

The longer they sit there the greener they get.

Sometimes, I think I should eat them

But something inside me keeps saying not yet, not yet, not yet.

Couns'lors, they never stop talking,

The more you ignore them the louder they get.

Sometimes, I think I should listen

But something inside me keeps saying not yet, not yet, not yet.

Campers, they never (do listen?),

The more you ____ the ____ they get.

Sometimes, I ___________

But something inside me keeps saying not yet, not yet, not yet.
