when i was just a boy a scout i long to be
living in the wild with a life thats free
camping in the woods learning to survive
learning all the things it takes to stay alive

making lots of friends who were just like me
members of the scouts they all long to be
helping all the people with a chore or two
doing all the things that the boy scouts do

sitting round the fire beneath the moon so bright
sing a song or two singing through the night
sleeping in a tent sleeping in the wild
beneath the stars above a mother natures child

remember all the soldiers on rememberance day
how they died in battle gave there lives away
fighting for our freedom  so we could be free
if not for the soldiers we would never be

put there lives in danger on the battle ground
cannons and the bombs dropping all around
living in the trenches in the wind and rain
with every ounce of courage to make us free again

we must wear a poppy on this special day
to thank all the soldiers who gave there lives away
how they gave there lives so we could be free
thank them for there courage and there bravery

grandpa dressed as santa on a christmas eve

so children would be happy on a christmas day

dreams all i have all thats left of you
visions that i see things we used to do
going through my head when i go to sleep
you are always there in to my mind you creep

hoping maybe one day we can love once more
we can love again like we did before
share again the love that there used to be
make my dreams come true come on home to me

sharing all the things that we used to do
good times that had when there was me and you
all the love we shared when our love was new
come on home to me make my dreams come true

when the snow is falling in memphis tennesee

children at the door sing a christmas song
all in harmony as they sing along

a special time of year makes everybody smile
when the world unites troubles come to cease
a season of the year that fills the world with peace

riding through the snow with presents just for you

with the sound of sliegh bells as they begin to ring

a happy christmas song  of happiness and joy
with lots of christmas presents for every girl and boy

stacked beneath the tree. to open christmas day
happy as can be as they begin to play
santa he returns to his grotto in the sky
with a yo ** ** as he waves  goodbye
