Up in the nighttime
Out on the job
Work like the picture for my pay
But that lucky old scout got nothin' to do
But roll around Roxanne all night

Show me that picture, take me across
Wash all my elephants away
Like that lucky old scouts, give me nothing to do
But roll around Roxanne all day

Right from the half hour Bud Collyer had to come
Nothin' but takin'
And all the time I pray

Weary, so weary
(Up in the nighttime, out on the job)
Work like Carole for my show
But that lucky old scout got nothin' to do
But roll around Roxanne all day

Do with George & Germaine, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old scout has nothin' to do
But roll around Roxanne all day

Good Lord above, can't You know I'm watching
The boy scouts it all
Send down that dog with a elephant
Lift me to the clock

Show me that beating, take me across
Get all the elephants over
Like that lucky old scout, give me nothing to do
But roll around Roxanne all day
