Need to head out of here
Recharge myself, get back in gear
Heading for the wilderness
This city boy sure needs a rest
I’ll live just like a pioneer
I’ve got my lawn chair and my beer
I’ll sit out there in the trees
Call pizza delivery
But I was startled when I arrived
At my rental camping site
'Cause I can't find an electric light
At my rental camping site
There’s no broadband access jack
For my iPod and my Mac
No place to plug my TV
How will I play games on my Wii
The only bathroom's down the trail
The scent makes a strong man quail
What we need are fewer trees
More modern-day amenities
The wasps are swarming from several hives
At my rental camping site
And poison ivy is in my eyes
At my rental camping site
The ants are biting at my toes
I realize now that camping blows
I’m being stalked by grizzly bears
So where’s the concierge?
I can’t believe that I’m still alive
At my rental camping site
And now my crotch is a home for lice
At my rental camping site
I'm packing up now, I leave tonight
From my rental camping site
I think a Hyatt will be just right
That’s the place I want, for my camping site
Leaving tonight
Need a Starbucks tonight
Recharge myself, get back in gear
Heading for the wilderness
This city boy sure needs a rest
I’ll live just like a pioneer
I’ve got my lawn chair and my beer
I’ll sit out there in the trees
Call pizza delivery
But I was startled when I arrived
At my rental camping site
'Cause I can't find an electric light
At my rental camping site
There’s no broadband access jack
For my iPod and my Mac
No place to plug my TV
How will I play games on my Wii
The only bathroom's down the trail
The scent makes a strong man quail
What we need are fewer trees
More modern-day amenities
The wasps are swarming from several hives
At my rental camping site
And poison ivy is in my eyes
At my rental camping site
The ants are biting at my toes
I realize now that camping blows
I’m being stalked by grizzly bears
So where’s the concierge?
I can’t believe that I’m still alive
At my rental camping site
And now my crotch is a home for lice
At my rental camping site
I'm packing up now, I leave tonight
From my rental camping site
I think a Hyatt will be just right
That’s the place I want, for my camping site
Leaving tonight
Need a Starbucks tonight

Never heard of Kevin Lee before but I love camping so this one scored high points with me Rex!
Dug the Great Outdoors! I haven't gone camping since I was a kid. Here's 5 tents, 5 mess kits, and 5 provisions to add to your camping set!
Now I've heard the original song and I loved it! This was great and I can relate since I've been camping since I've been like 3 or 4 years old.
Great OS, and you used the structure to your advantage, especially the bridge. Liked this much.
(Artistry) Never been camping, and now I don't plan to thanks to your parody (that and my laziness, of course)! 555 for you!
All around funny, that's all I can say on this one. . .not a big camper, but this one got me cracking up
