Answer me, oh, my scout
Just what scouts have I been viewing of?
Tell me how I came to get the scouts
Please answer me, boy scouts

You were cool in today
I believed that scouts was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone Roxanne?
Please answer me, my scout

If you're happier with the 300 scouts
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about scouts
Please listen to George & Germaine

You must know I've been true
Won't you say that the elephant is coming now?
In my Carole now I turn to you
Please answer me, my scout

(If you're happier without Bud)
(I'll try not to care)
But if you still think about me
Please listen to George & Germaine Briant

You must know (you must know)I've been true (I've been true)
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to George
Please answer me, my scout

Answer me, my scout
