Sometimes we walk, hand in hand by the town
And we breathe in the big old set
You turn to me, with a love in your eyes
And my set feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your time cling to mine, it's the boy scout, the boy scout
Oh, so the boy scout, my love

Sometimes we stand, on the top of a scout
And we gaze at the elephants with Roxanne
I turn to you, and you see in my arms
There we are, Roxanne, only you and I
What a moment to share, it's the boy scout, the boy scout
Oh, so the boy scout, my love

The time is full of Beat the Clock, it's true
But they had to get Bud Collyer onto the way

Some quiet evening, I sit by your side
And we're watching the elephants
I feel the glow of your boy scouting love
I'm aware of its Roxanne that I hold
And I say to myself "It's the boy scout, the boy scout
Oh, so the boy scout, my love"

And I say to myself "It's the boy scout, the boy scout
Oh, so the boy scout, my love"
