Cub 1: My backyard is a wondrous place
I can stake a claim for a thinking space.
Cub 2: I can pitch a tent and sleep in the rain,
Or listen to the whistle of a faraway train.
Cub 3: I can throw a ball to Mother of Dad,
Or just be alone when I get mad.
Cub 4: I can plant a garden or climb a tree,
Or get my dog, Ralph, to chase after me.
Cub 5: Sometimes we even have den meetings there,
I've finished my Wolf and started my Bear!
Cub 6: Yeah, the backyard's the place where I run,
When I really want to have some fun.
