A Newpaper Story
Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

My Den Leader told me to write one—
A newspaper story on Scouts.
But when I was finished the story,
My Den Leader turned and ran out!

Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Leader to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Leader to me, to me.

The story, it talked about camping,
It told of the neat things we'll do.
Like putting a snake in her backpack
And sinking her Grumman canoe

Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Leader to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Leader to me, to me.

The newspaper story was printed.
It ran as a headline—first page.
And now my Leader won't come back,
'Cause the article mentioned her age!

Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Leader to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Leader to me, to me.

The coverage spread to the networks,
Today Show and Entertainment Tonight.
My Leader no longer will speak to me.
I guess I had better not write!.

Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Leader to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Leader to me, to me.
