lyrics
HEY! LITTLE BOY SCOUT
Hey little boy scout, what you wanna do?
Hey little boy scout, ain't it time for you
To earn a new badge, whittle something new
Tie me up in knots, boy -- do what you do!
I met him as a cub scout, he was a Webelo
Now he's a boy scout, and he's hot to go
He can tie a fly, fills me up with sighs
He's got pretty badges and he never lies
Always wears a tan shirt, and a red tie
Lends me his poncho, when clouds hit the sky
Morally strong, mentally awake
He can yell like Geronimo and make my knees quake
Hey little boy scout, what you wanna do?
Hey little boy scout, ain't it time for you
To earn a new badge, whittle something new
Tie me up in knots, boy -- do what you do!
My baby ain't no Tenderfoot, he's an Eagle Scout
We hole up in his pup tent, he makes me scream and shout
He's always prepared, he can growl like a bear
I love the way my fingers feel in his hair -- oh!
My scout is helpful, kind, and courteous too
Well he's brave, eighteen, and reverent
And ohhhhh, he's obedient
But best of all, mmmm....he's....always prepared
Now he's the leader of Troop 69
His lovin' technique is mighty fine
He's got a slow burnin' fire, a spark you can't fake
I need something extra to make my bed shake
Hey little boy scout, what you wanna do?
Hey little boy scout, ain't it time for you
To earn a new badge, whittle something new
Tie me up in knots, boy -- do what you do!
Yodel-layyyy-hee-deedle-eeee-deeeeeeee
YEAH! Bring the whole troop over...
