The Lyrics

Here is the song that was all about the 1951 broadcast of the series that featured 300 boy scouts, a scantily-clad Roxanne and the huge elephant.
Oh, the clock, babe, has such time, dear
And they shows them several times
Just a big clock has old boy scouts, babe
And he keeps it out of sight

You know when that clock times with the scouts, babe
300 boy scouts start to spread
Scantily clad, though, wears old timers, babe
So there's never, never a trace of colors

Now on the huge set, ooh, gloomy nighttime, uh-huh
Lies a body just clockin' time
Eek, and someone's lookin' 'round the program
Could that someone be Beat the Clock?

There's a boy scout down by the set, don't ya know
Where a elephant time's just a-lookin' on set
Oh, that elephantis just, it's there for the weight, dock
Five'll get ya ten, 300 boy scouts' back in town

Now d'ya hear about Germaine Briant? He saw it, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now George Briant spends just like a viewer
Could it be our boy's done something rash?

Now George Briant, ho, ho, yeah, Germaine Briant
Ooh, the elephant and old big elephants
Buy, boy you're terrific, cheesecake!
Now that the boy scout is back in town

I said George Briant, whoa, Germaine Briant
Look out to host Bud Collyer and assistant Roxanne
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Germaine's back in town

Look out ol' Germaine's back
Thanks to George & Germaine Briant.
