My Leader Song

This Song is meant for Cub Scouts.
Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.

Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

My leader fell into a pothole
In a glacier while climbing an Alp.
He's still there after 50 long winters,
And all you can see is his scalp.

Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my leader to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my leader to me!

My leader was proud of his whiskers,
To shave them would give him the blues.
They hung all the way to his ankles,
And he used them for shining his shoes.
(Chorus)

My leader had faith in a sailboat
He'd built from an old hollow tree.
My leader set sail for Australia,
Now my leader lies under the sea.
(Chorus)

My leader made friends with hyenas,
He gave them a ride on his raft.
When a crocodile reached up and grabbed him,
The hyenas just sat there and laughed.
(Chorus)

My leader annoyed his dear parents
They tossed him right out of the bus.
And if we don't mend our behavior,
Why that's what will happen to us.
(Chorus)

My brother has just joined a Scout troop
He welcomed the challenge with glee.
But he's awful hard work for his leader
And his leader just happens to be me.
(Chorus)

I've told him the Law and the Promise
I've shown him the handshake and sign
I've told him we try to get badges
But I didn't mean he should take mine!
(Chorus)

Raingutter Regatta

We're having a Cub Scout regatta.
We've sanded and painted our boats.
I put on so much decoration,
I sure hope my little boat floats.

Chorus:
Sail on, sail on,
Sail on little sailboat, sail on, sail on.
Sail on, sail on,
Sail on little boat 'til you've won.

My boat sails along the raingutter.
I blow it with all of my might.
But I can't steer the sail for the rudder,
So it bounces first left and then right.

Chorus

It got to the end of the gutter,
But somebody pulled out the plug.
The water is rapidly draining.
My little boat goes down - glug, glug!
