Well, everyone has been having such a good time with "A letter from camp"
that I felp obligated to post the sequel that Allan Sherman wrote when he
was asked to speak at his Alma Mater.  It is set to a tune that if you like
"A letter from camp" you might recognize.

Hello, Muddah, Hello, Faddah,
here I am at Alma Mater.
Where i once got educated--
Eighteen years ago I almost graduated.

Everyone remembers me here,
"Cause I averaged two-point-three here.
Met Dean Turner at the station.
He's deciding if he'll take me off probation.

The athletics ain't the same here.
Gosh--today they won a game here.
And the coed are so purty,
That on week nights they get locked up at ten thirty!

Getting beer is very hard now
'Cause they ask you for a card now.
And this hall is quite a haven
I sincerely hope the ceiling doesn't cave in.

Take me back, Old Alma Mater, take me back.
I promise I will not cut class,
This time I won't cut class,
At least I'll go enough to pass.

Reinstate me, please, I want to graduate.
I want to wear a cap and gown
(That is if there is one
That's large enough in town.)

I'm the father of a boy now.
Making plans for Illinois now.
He's a scholar--he's a learner,
And I'll send along an apple for Dean Turner.

I look forward with elation
To his day of graduation.
I'll go home and get his trunks out--
Boy, will I be disappointed if he flunks out!
