I Need a Scout

I Need A Scout

Look at my smile, isn’t it great?
Wouldn’t you think that I’d have a date
Look’n at me, yeah, you’d think,
“She’s got everything.”

Look at my clothes, look at my face
Just once I’d like to go to a nice place,
Fast-food and dollar matinees-they’re not everything.

I’ve got hair spray and make-up a plenty,
I’ve used toothpaste and mouthwash galore.
Wanna go Dutch? I’ve got twenty.
But who cares? No big deal, I want more.

I wanna be where the scouters are.
I wasn’t one as my silver beaver—One who’s not afraid of. . .
What’s that word again? Oh. . . Commitment.

In nature class you don’t get too far;
Dates are required for real romancing’.
Hopin’ for an engagement. . .
What’s the word again? Ring!

A scout who is fun, a scout who is cute,
A guy who would look real good in a boy scout suit
I’m really great; why don’t I date?
I need a scout!

What would I give if I could live in the Uintas
What would I pay to spend a day on Mt. Baldy
Betcha they’d call if they weren’t all just so intimidated.
Sweet young maiden—sick of wait’n-
Ready for more!

And ready to know what the Eagles know.
Ask’em my questions and get some answers.
What is a scouter and why is he. . .
What’s the word? Prepared!

Why can’t they think and see me now?
I am a woman worth more than eight cows!!!
I’m really great; why don’t I date?
I want a scout!
