Audry Lehrman remembers some of the Camp Songs

"There's a Camp Along the Delaware" camp Indian Lake is its name. From the rising sun till the day is done. We'll have lots of fun out there. In the waters deep we'll learn to swim. Come right on in with us. We've got the eats that make you look (SICK) but how that cook can cook at Indian Lake by the Delaware.

"Friends Friends Friends" we will always be. Whether in clear or in darkstormy weather dear Indian Lake will hold us together. The brown and gold we will 'ere be true. Love will pervade us till death separate us we're friends, friends, friends.

"This Old Man." "Kookaberry." "White Coral Bells." "Three Blind Mice." "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad." "I Like to Catch Brass Rings on the Merry-go-round." "LOdoubleLIpop Spells Lollipop, Lollipop." "The Inky Dinky Spider."

"The Peppiest Camp" I ever saw, ever came a poppin. The peppiest camp there ever was of which there was no stoppin. It's not the pep in the pepper jar or the pep in the popcorn popper. It's not the pep in the mustard jar or the pep in the vienegar stopper. It's good old fashioned PEP the kind you have no doubt. Indian Lake, Indian Lake the peppiest camp around.

This one goes to the tune of the Missouri Waltz and i only remember the last words. "...Learn to give and take and think of self a little less. ILC we'll hold you within us we'll fold you and your name we'll love."

WITCHCRAFT
If there was witchcraft, I'd make two wishes. A winding road that beckons me to roam. And then I'd wish for a blazing campfire that welcomes me when I'm returning home. But in this real world, there is no witchcraft, and golden wishes do not grow on trees. My silent daydreams are but the magic that
helps bring back those golden memories. Memories that linger constant and true. Memories we'll cherish, dear Indian Lake of you.

LIEBESTRAUM

Oh Indian Lake Camp our hearts we pledge to thee-ee, you're all that we 'ere desire. For the good-ness and the beau-ty that you alone can give us, you're all that our hearts aspire. Your spirit everlasting will always guide us right leading us from the darkness into the light of day, the light
of day. Oh Indian Lake Camp our hearts we pledge to thee-ee. You're all that
we'll 'ere desire.

TELL ME WHY
Tell me why the stars do shine
Tell me why the ivy twines
Tell me why the sky's so blue
And I will tell you, just why I love you.
Because God made the stars to shine
Because God made the ivy twine
Because God made the sky so blue
God made dear Indian Lake
That's why we love you.

"I-N-D-I-A-N LAKE, C-A-M-P CAMP":
I-N-D-I-A-N LAKE, C-A-M-P CAMP, we love you.
I-N-D-I-A-N LAKE, C-A-M-P CAMP, 'ere be true.
We love you in the morning and we love you in the noon.
We love you in the evening and beneath the silvery moon.
I-N-D-I-A-N LAKE, C-A-M-P CAMP, we love you.
