Sesame Street - Going Camping lyrics

1st chorus: Voice No. 1 2nd chorus: Voice No. 2 3rd chorus: Voice No. 3 4th chorus: 1st, 2nd and 3rd voices sing simultaneously (NOTE: Sounds to me like the last verses are sung in a round, corrections are welcome) Voice No. 1 : I got my gear in my pack I got my pack on my back Today's the day I'm going camping Just got the go-ahead sign The weather's gonna be fine Today's the day I'm going camping I'm gonna pitch me a tent Won't have to pay any rent It looks like ev'rything is "A O.K." As far as I can see I think it's gonna be a perfect camping day Voice No. 2: The trees and animals And clear blue skies A waterfall comes tumbling right before my eyes Birds that fly Above a mountain stream It's absolutely perfect better than a dream Peace and quiet Where the good Lord smiled Fields and fields of flowers growing wild This is Just where I belong I'm a mother Nature's child Voice No. 3: It's time to hit the trail To hit the hill and dale Oh, I love hiking in the mountains It's great to reach the snow And see the world below Oh, I love hiking in the mountains Each time we stop to eat We get to rest our feet And we'll make it if we take slow 'Cause the best way to climb Is one step at a time and hiking is the only way to go I got my gear in my pack The trees and animals It's time to hit the trail I got my pack on my back and clear blue skies To hit the hill and dale Today's the day I'm going camping A waterfall comes tumbling right before my eyes Oh, I love hiking in the mountains Just got the go-ahead sign Birds that fly It's great to reach the snow The weather's gonna be fine Above a mountain stream And see the world below Today's the day I'm goin' camping It's absolutely perfect, better than a dream Oh, I love hiking in the mountains I'm gonna pitch me a tent Peace and quiet Each time we stop to eat Won't have to pay any rent Where the good Lord smiled We get to rest our feet It looks like ev'rything is "A-O. K." Fields and fields of flowers growing wild And we'll make it if we take it slow As far as I can see This is 'Cause the best way to climb I think it's gonna be Just where I belong Is one step at a time A perfect camping day I'm a Mother Nature's child And hiking is the only way to go
