Did someone post this already?  ( I wasn't following the thread too carefully )

Hu is He
Hee is She
And when you want to call a girl you say "boi, boi"...

  This song sounds really cute, a great piece to use at camp, too. How do you 
learn the tune? Is it notated somewhere (with more than chords)? Recorded
