I Wanna Be A Scout

I wanna be a Scout,
A true blue honest Scout,
I thought my dad would understand.

A real live Scout,
A campin' trampin' Scout,
Learning from Akela time and again.



Webelos and Bear,
Tiger and a Wolf,
My Dad said I was joining a zoo.

But, I wanna be a Scout,
A true blue honest Scout,
I know its the thing for me and you.

We went on a hike,
A nice long Scouting hike,
A look at my dad showed he was blue.

I asked how he felt,
When he dropped down and knelt,
And this is what I heard him mutter thru.

My achey breakey back,
>From my keester to my neck,
Is tense and my muscles are hot too.

How do you go on,
Without feeling like you've gone,
A hundred miles with an ape on top of you.

Cause I am a Scout,
A biking hikin' Scout,
I passed my advancement with no prob.

I know how to hike,
It's something that I like,
I'm sorry that its got the best of you.

We got back to camp,
My dad still had his cramp,
So I helped him get through our tent door.

I went to get food,
It would do him some good,
And he started speaking clearly as he snored.

I wanna be a Scout,
A true blue honest Scout,
I thought my dad would understand.

A real live Scout,
A campin' trampin' Scout,
Learning from Akela time and again.
