A little brighteyed laddie
said to his dear old Daddy,
'I saw the Boy Scouts on parade today.
They marched so straight and snappy
they looked so bright and happy,
that I felt lonesome when they marched away.'
Then Daddy said: 'I feel the same as you
and when you go a marching with them too.'

Be a good Scout,
throw your chest out
hold your head up in the air,
do a good deed
sow a good seed
as you march through the country ev'rywhere
keep on going, keep on growing
and some day a half a million strong
you'll march to sturdy manhood
to the Good Scout Song.

Be a good Scout,
throw your chest out
hold your head up in the air,
do a good deed
sow a good seed
as you march through the country ev'rywhere
keep on going, keep on growing
and some day a half a million strong
you'll march to sturdy manhood
to the Good Scout Song.

The little brighteyed laddie
said to his dear old Daddy
'I'll always be a good scout never fear
I'd march so straight and snappy
and grow up strong and happy
a credit Dad to you and Mother dear,
I'll do someone a good turn ev'ry day
and to the other scouts I'll always say.'

Be a good Scout,
throw your chest out
hold your head up in the air,
do a good deed
sow a good seed
as you march through the country ev'rywhere
keep on going, keep on growing
and some day a half a million strong
you'll march to sturdy manhood
to the Good Scout Song.

Be a good Scout,
throw your chest out
hold your head up in the air,
do a good deed
sow a good seed
as you march through the country ev'rywhere
keep on going, keep on growing
and some day a half a million strong
you'll march to sturdy manhood
to the Good Scout Song.
