Where O Where Are You Tonight

 
Tune: "Where O Where Are You Tonight"

When I started Scouting, all they ever told me
Was "Go with the boys, and have lots of fun".
Now all that I do is go to Scout meetings.
It seems like I'm always the one on the run.

Where, oh where, are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I fixed the kids dinner and they are in bed now.
Since you found this Scouting, you're never at home.

One day I was told to try basic training.
I went 'cuz it sounded like lots of fun.
Now I am in charge of _all_ of the training.
Oh, Heaven help me!  Now what have I done!!??!!

Where, oh where, are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
So sorry you missed your kid's graduation.
Maybe his wedding will bring you back home.

Woodbadge was something that I'd never heard of.
Worked for those beads 'til I was blue in the face.
One day I came home and she was spring cleaning:
Threw away those old beads on that old shoe lace!!

Where, oh where, were you last night?
Your oldest daughter just had her first son.
Should I tell her now of all that she's in for?
Her life in Scouting has only begun!
