A CAREFUL SCOUTER I OUGHT TO BE
A LITTLE SCOUT FOLLOWS ME.
I DO NOT DARE TO GO ASTRAY
FOR FEAR HE'LL FO THE SELFSAME SAY.
NOT ONCE CAN I ESCAPE HIS EYES
WHATE'RE HE SEES ME DO HE TRIES
LIKE ME. HE SAYS HE'S GOING TO BE-
THAT LITTLE SCOUT WHO FOLLOWS ME.
HE THINKS THAT I AM GOOD AND FINE
BELIEVES IN EVERY WORK OF MINE.
THE BASE IN ME HE MUST NOT SEE-
THAT LITTLE SCOUT WHO FOLLOWS ME.
I MUST REMEMBER AS I GO
THROUGH SUMMER SUN AND WINTER SNOW
I'M BUILDING FOR THE YEARS TO BE
THAT LITTLE SCOUT WHO FOLLOWS ME.
