Camping Out Tonight

My mom said, ‘Listen
‘Now school is done
We’re goin’ camping
Gonna have some fun'
And that’s alright…that’s alright

Pack up the family
Load up the car
Before you know it
Why, there you are!
And that’s alright…that’s alright

Everybody we’re camping out tonight
Everybody we’re camping out tonight

Gonna build a fire
Gonna cook s’mores
Gonna feel the magic
Of the great outdoors
And that’s alright…that’s alright

Look! There’s an eagle
Look! There’s a moose
Look! There’s a chipmunk
He’s on the loose
And that’s alright…that’s alright

Everybody we’re camping out tonight
Everybody we’re camping out tonight

Storm clouds are gonna find you
Blowin’ like a hurricane
But, let me just remind you
You get no rainbow without the rain!

A songbird’s singing
A melody
Each note is bringing
Sweet memory
And that’s alright…that’s alright

Wherever I wander
Wherever I go
Keep coming back
To Ontario
And that’s alright…that’s alright

Everybody we’re camping out tonight
Everybody we’re camping out tonight
