BE A GOOD SCOUT
Jimmy McHugh/Harold Adamson 1938

Deanna Durbin 1938


>From the 1938 film 'That Certain Age'
Lyrics as sung by Deanna Durbin in this film

Be a good Scout, and always wear a smile
Be a good Scout, keep cheerful all the while
It's the creed, yes indeed, that a Scout must practice gaily
Help those in need, do a good turn daily.

Be a good Scout, be loyal, clean and brave
Never say die, just let your banners wave
On your honor, do your best
When they put you to the test
And always be a good scout.

(Chorus)

Be a good Scout, and always wear a smile (Durbin whistles)
Be a good Scout, keep cheerful all the while, (Durbin whistles)

(Durbin and Chorus)

It's the creed, yes indeed, that a Scout must practice gaily
Help those in need, do a good turn daily.

(Chorus)

Be a good Scout, be loyal, clean and brave (Durbin whistles)
Never say die, just let your banners wave (Durbin whistles)

(Durbin and Chorus)

On your honor, do your best
When they put you to the test
And always be a good scout………
Yes, always be a good scout.
