| Lyrics: | The Weekend I have seen the sky in darkness, I have seen it in the sun, I have felt the rain upon me, I’ve enjoyed the snowy fun. When the weather isn’t cloudy or the wind it doesn’t blow. It isn’t only raining, it’s the weekend too, you know. Glory, glory, it’s the weekend! Glory, glory, it’s the weekend! I can tell because it’s raining and it’s 42 below, As we Scouts go marching on. Ode to a Den Leader After raising six sweet daughters, I was glad to have a son. I thought of all the games we'd play, the picnics, hikes and fun. I thought of how we'd sit and talk for hours when day is done. Oh, wasn't I the foolish one. Chorus: Glory, glory, I'm a leader. How'd I get to be a leader? All I ever wanted was to have a little fun Cub Scouting with my son. I tried to make excuses and their pleas to ignore. I said, 'I'm not equipped!' they said, 'Oh, yes you are, what more, We will train you in the basics and outfit you for the corps.' And they shoved me out the door. Chorus They taught me how to sing a song and how to tie a knot. They taught me how to do a skit, make puppets on the spot. They taught me all I'd need to know, at least that's what I thought. 'Til a Cub came in with a snake that he'd caught! Chorus The time arrived for hiking, just my Webelos den and me. They say the woods are full of many sights for you to see. I know we sure were sights when we were found, eventually. And I do this all for free. Chorus But even though I mumble and I grumble and I pout And many times I wonder what's the best way to get out. When all is said and done there really isn't any doubt. I'm glad to be a scout! Glory, glory, I'm a leader! I'm so glad to be a leader! When all is said and done and then they lay me to my rest, They'll say I did my best! |
