Subject: Lyr Add: TALKIN' SCOUTMASTER BLUES From: voyager Date: 18 Mar 04 - 12:35 PM To combat THREAD CREEP and to exclude myself from the "Funniest Talkin' Blues" discussion, I humbly submit the following lyrics, Talkin' ScoutMaster Blues - Carved from the Hide of Personal Experience + 10 years of Scout Leadership activity - TALKIN' SCOUTMASTER BLUES At Boy Scout camp, in West Virginia country Kids went camping with our trusty ScoutMaster Who brought his whistle and mosquito-net stockings Took us hiking, canoeing, and rocking Timberbashing, Capsizing Having a good time Now Troop33 are a mighty good bunch They get up in the morning just in time for Lunch When the work patrol starts, you know it's a winner They will be on the job when it's time for Dinner! 'Cause they're busy, Building campfires, Having a good time There's Andrew, Alex, Alex and Chris And Brian and Brian (who did I miss) Dan, Danny, Daniel and Daniel (somebody give me a cocker spaniel) There's Evan, Mark, Michael and Nick Page and Patrick (that will do the trick) Trina and Tyke (who have I forgot) Nobody! This song's almost over but the story's not done There are many more trips that we haven't begun So when you're back in school and Life's really a bummer Keep your eyes on the trail We'll see you next summer Timberbashing, Capsizing, Having a good time.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Talkin' Scoutmaster Blues From: voyager Date: 16 Mar 20 - 06:59 PM Refresh (with apologies not to Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan Talkin' Blues) I led a Boy Scout Troop for 10 years. Both of our sons are Eagle Scouts. I wrote a story about 'Follow the Leader' a mantra of scouting ethics and behavior. Talkin' Scoutmaster Blues is of this era (mid '90s) yis voyager |
