There were two other more current references to "Camptown Ladies"


Alan Sherman (Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda, Here I am at Camp Grenana...) wrote
an ethnic Jewish version that went:

Catskill ladies sing this song, Hoo Haa, Hoo, Haa;

  Sittin' on the front porch playin' Mah-Jong; Oh, Hoo Haa hey.



Then there was a tourist in Manhattan, who asked a stranger:

  "Cross-town busses run all night?"

The local replied:

  "Doo Daa, Doo, Daa".

That's all there is (promise)
