For example, you could sing "I hope we have ice cream for din-ner" to the tune of the first line of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame".

You could try "I want to go to the beach, soon" or "I don't like to do home-work".

'Frankenstein' was substituted for 'Clementine', making the song silly and even more fun!

Title: Oh My Darling Ukulele
Camp Song
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Frankenstein, You are gone forever, dreadful sorrow Frankenstein.
I was working with my test tubes in my laboratory fine,
When one night I broke my glasses and I made a Frankenstein.
Refrain
He was charming, he was handsome, and I nailed his head on tight.
Oh, his teeth were white and pearly and his eyes came out at night.
Refrain
Well, his nose I made it quickly from a rotten apple core,
And his tongue was nice and purple and it hung down to the floor.
Refrain
Frankenstein helped in the kitchen. He was making up a cake,
When he fell into the mixer and got whipped up by mistake.
Refrain
Baking nicely in the oven, oh, the cake it turned out fine.
Told my friends that they were raisins, but those lumps were Frankenstein.
