SONG: MAMA PLEASE LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE CUB SCOUTS

Tune: Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys

Cub Scouts are easy to love, or so we’ve been told. They’d rather ‘tend meetings than have bags filled with gold! They work for their patches and badges, Have campouts with friends in the woods overnight. If you don’t understand them, just pay close attention, We’ll explain it all to you tonight! Chorus Mama, please let your babies grow up to be Cub Scouts. Let ‘em earn badges or race derby cars. Make ‘em Bobcats, Webelos, and B’ars! Mama, please let your babies grow up to be Cub Scouts. They’ll promise their best to God and their country. Obeying the Law of the Pack. Cub Scouts like sleeping outdoors on clear mountain mornings. Little warm puppies and children and stars in the night. Them that do know him will like him – he follows Akela. He’s going to grow as he helps the Pack go As he strives for his Arrow of Light. (Chorus)
