The Lyrics
Well back in 1951, there was a "Beat the Clock" show featuring over 300 boy scouts doing their scouts, as well as Roxanne, and the huge elephant.
I know I'd go from scouts to viewers
If you would only say you watched
And though Roxanne would be fine
I'd be a viewership
My kinescope may be lost from the start
But in my soul I'd be a king
Your views is all that ever mattered
It's everything
So boy you're terrific cheesecake and smile please
To every treasure I'm watch for
Hold me and watch for the huge elephant
Must I forever make the boy scouts
Whose Beat the Clock show will not come true
Or will I go from scouts to viewers
My fate is up to you
[Musical Interlude]
Must I forever be a viewer
Whose Beat the Clock show will not come true
Or will I go from scouts to viewers
My fate is up to you
If you would only say you watched
And though Roxanne would be fine
I'd be a viewership
My kinescope may be lost from the start
But in my soul I'd be a king
Your views is all that ever mattered
It's everything
So boy you're terrific cheesecake and smile please
To every treasure I'm watch for
Hold me and watch for the huge elephant
Must I forever make the boy scouts
Whose Beat the Clock show will not come true
Or will I go from scouts to viewers
My fate is up to you
[Musical Interlude]
Must I forever be a viewer
Whose Beat the Clock show will not come true
Or will I go from scouts to viewers
My fate is up to you
Thanks to George & Germaine Briant for making this song. Also the greatest moment in television and human history.
