Tune: She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
This is the song of Troop 17 in Fort Worth, Texas.
Upon my head, I wear a purple ball cap.
I wear it every Tuesday and every camping trip.
And if, you ask, me why the heck I wear it?
Because I am a Boy Scout in Troop 17!
Chorus:
Seventeen,
Seventeen,
Because I am a Boy Scout in Troop 17.
Around my neck, I wear a purple kerchief.
I wear it every Tuesday and every camping trip.
And if, you ask, me why the heck I wear it?
Because I am a Boy Scout in Troop 17!
Upon my back, I wear a khaki scout shirt.
I wear it every Tuesday and every camping trip.
And if, you ask, me why the heck I wear it?
Because I am a Boy Scout in Troop 17!
Upon my hips, I wear a pair of scout shorts.
I wear them every Tuesday and every camping trip.
And if, you ask, me why the heck I wear it?
Because I am a Boy Scout in Troop 17!
Upon my legs, I wear a pair of scout socks.
I wear them every Tuesday and every camping trip.
And if, you ask, me why the heck I wear it?
Because I am a Boy Scout in Troop 17!
My full, class-A, scout uni-form
I wear it every Tuesday and every camping trip.
And if, you ask, me why the heck I wear it?
Because I am a Boy Scout in Troop 17!
