(Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)
-
- After raising six sweet daughters, I was glad to have
a son.
- I thought of all the games we'd play, the picnics,
hikes and fun.
- I thought of how we'd sit and talk for hours when day
is done.
- Oh, wasn't I the foolish one.
-
- Glory, glory, I'm a leader.
- How'd I get to be a leader?
- All I ever wanted was to have a little fun
- Cub Scouting with my son.
-
- I tried to make excuses and their pleas to ignore.
- I said, "I'm not equipped!" they said,
"Oh, yes you are, what more,
- We will train you in the basics and outfit you for
the corps."
- And they shoved me out the door.
-
- Glory, glory, I'm a leader.
- Me, they had to make a leader.
- All I really wanted was to have a little fun.
- Cub Scouting with my son.
-
- They taught me how to sing a song and how to tie a
knot.
- They taught me how to do a skit, make puppets on the
spot.
- They taught me all I'd need to know, at least that's
what I thought.
- 'Til a Cub came in with a snake that he'd caught!
-
- Glory, glory, I'm a leader.
- Me, they had to make a leader.
- All I really wanted was to have a little fun.
- Cub Scouting with my son.
-
- The time arrived for hiking, just my WEBELOS den and
me.
- They say the woods are full of many sights for you to
see.
- I know we sure were sights when we were found,
eventually.
- And I do this all for free.
-
- Glory, glory, I'm a leader.
- Me, they had to make a leader.
- All I really wanted was to have a little fun.
- Cub Scouting with my son.
-
- But even though I mumble and I grumble and I pout
- And many times I wonder what's the best way to get
out.
- When all is said and done there really isn't any
doubt.
- I'm glad to be a scout!
-
- Glory, glory, I'm a leader!
- I'm so glad to be a leader!
- When all is said and done and then they lay me to my
rest,
- They'll say I did my best!
