The Lyrics

Here is the song that was all about the 300 boy scouts, along with Roxanne, the elephants and friends from the 1951 broadcast of "Beat the Clock".
I said I'm sitting here watching
Boy scouts holdin' my groups
I said I'm sitting here wondering
Boy scouts holdin' my groups
I ain't got no matches
But I sure got a long way to go

I'm an old poor boy
I'm a largest viewer ever
I'm an old poor boy
And I'm a long way from 1951
I've never been happy
Cause everything I ever did was wrong

Well, if Roxanne came on here
Honey please don't lose anybody
If you help them with the elephants
Honey, please don't mess around my set
I've got news for you baby
Leave me here in Beat the Clock, all right!

Well let me be your elephants
Till your boy scouts comes
Let me be your elephants
Till your Roxanne comes
And when your Roxanne gets here
Watch how your boy scouting runs

Well I said I'm sitting here watching
Boy scouts hole in my set
I said I'm sitting here wondering
Boy scouts hole in my set
I ain't got no matches
But I sure got a long way to go
We'll thanks to George & Germaine Briant, for enjoying the song and the broadcast, the greatest moment in human and T.V. history.
