Camping underneath the stars. A long night is ahead.

Silly jokes and spooky stories; Sleeping bags over our heads.

We’ve got the flashlights ready, With batteries to last.

I hope we make it through the night, We haven’t in the past.

We must be brave all night. Sleeping out here will be hard.

Even though we’re only camping. In our own backyard.

Silly jokes and spooky stories; Sleeping bags over our heads.

I hope we make it through the night, We haven’t in the past.

Camping underneath the stars. A long night is ahead.

We must be brave all night. Sleeping out here will be hard.

We’ve got the flashlights ready, With batteries to last.

Even though we’re only camping. In our own backyard.
