You got me curious sp I looked it up, and you’re right. Apparently it was a campfire song that’s been around since like the 70s? I never heard of it until pinkfong put it on blast. Thanks for the education!

Yeah, we were singing it a long time before the internet was a thing accessible to children. It was passed down by those who went to camps along with such songs as “da moose da moose”

It hurts to read “The original song dates back to the 20th century” in the Wikipedia article.
