Grant Peeples: Music

Summercamp (bonus track) (click for lyrics)

(Last year the St. Joe Land Company, Florida's largest land developer, hired Grant to write a jingle to help with their sputtering sales at SummerCamp, their new sea-side development in Franklin County. This, um, is what he came up with.)
Well developments come and developments go
Its hard to tell the sizzle from the fizzle, you know
But you can trust your friends here at old St. Joe
Come join us down at SummerCamp

Its all laid out on a low wet land
Lots of pigmy rattlers and moccasins
There were some old black bears, but we shot all them
You see, we aim to please at SummerCamp

We'll build you a house fast and cheap
On a lot with a ditch where there used to be a creek
Think of all the new-rich Georgia folks that you'll get to meet Your friendly new neighbors at Summer Camp

SummerCamp, oh SummerCamp
It's a paid political development
Brought to you by the governor and his lobbyist
Come on down to SummerCamp

There's dog flies and no-see-ums
Redbugs, ticks and mosquitoes
We got so many yellow flies we can hardly feed um
Its just one big blood-fest at SummerCamp

The seawaters shallow, brown and yucky
There's plenty of oyster shells here to cut ya
And if you like sandspurs, we can fill up your bucket
Just bring it on down to SummerCamp

Come on now seize the day!
You never know hurricane's gonna blow it all awy
Be the first to have your kid step on a stingray
We're all one-with-nature, here at SummerCamp


SummerCamp, oh SummerCamp
It's a paid political development
Brought to you by the governor and his lobbyist
Come on down to SummerCamp


Writing a check's not that much trouble
Do it now and do it on the double
And don't listen to any shit about a real estate bubble
Come sign on the line at SummerCamp

Where the sky is grey the muck is black
There's a seaweed beach and bull shark attacks
If you like the feel of sand in you crack
Bring your ass down to SummerCamp

SummerCamp, oh SummerCamp
It's a paid political development
Brought to you by the governor and his lobbyist
Come on down to SummerCamp

Yea, developments come, and developments go
Its hard tell good from bad you know
But you can trust us, we're good'ol St. Joe
Come join us down at SummerCamp
