CHORUS
Our Scouters how we love them
The Scouters of the Eighth

1. In charge of all our Scout Boys we have a Mr State
He gets the boys to join us by using girls as bait
He says that we have plenty of girls so blonde and fair
And if you don’t believe us, just look right over there
CHORUS

2. In charge of all the seniors we have a bearded man
His wife they call Akela, they say his name is Sam
But don’t be mistaken and don’t be misled
We found his birth certificate and know his name is Fred
CHORUS

3. At the head of all our little ones we’ve got our OMA
And if by chance you cross him by gad you’ll rue the day
It isn’t here in Brixton you see him on his beat
You’ll find he works in Batt’sea and knows most every street
CHORUS

4. In charge of all our Wolf cubs we have our Akela
To help her in her troubles are Kim and Bargeerha
We also have a Rikki and a great big lofty Kaa
But he can’t start his engine so won’t get very far
CHORUS

5. They say that meat is scarce now but come along with us
We have a Busty Fleming who’d fill up any bus
We had a boy called Wilson, his mother kept him tidy
That is upon a Wednesday but never on a Friday
CHORUS

6. There is a scout called greenhorn, who’s almost second class
By greenhorn we mean Mariner, at running he’s quite fast
But he is so much faster when he is being chased
By OMA, or Michael or even Mr State
CHORUS

7. Our Reg is in the Air Force he’s not a little erk
He’s a Radar Mac, walks round and doesn’t work
We’ve got another copper, you haven’t met him yet
We always call him Dusty, he’s the tallest we could get
CHORUS

8. We’ve not forgot the Vicar who’s name is Mr Flacke
He only sees us once a month, we all sit at the back
And what about Miss Hayter who gives us lovely fires
Plus Ida, Dot and Vera, their help our Skip admires
CHORUS
