SCOUT STAR
To the tune of RockStar - Nickleback - lyrics written by Angus, Chris, Matt and Jamie of Woodpeckers at Spring Camp 2008 and sung at the camp fire

I'm through with standing in line
To tents I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the flag
And we're always going to win
This camp hasn't turned out
Quite the way I wanted it to be

(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new tent
On a series of Ray Mears
And a toilet tent we can play wide games in
And then a king size river
Big enough for Cameran and Dom

(So what you need?)

We need sleeping bags that's got no limit
And a big black tent with a bathroom in it
Gonna join the scouting club
At thirty-thousand acres

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for camping with scouts
I even grow my hair and eat that grouts

'Cause we all just wanna be scout stars
And live in hill top tents driving 15 go karts
And the fire comes easy and the equipment's cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we eat and eat
And we'll hang out with Mr Barr
And the VIP with the Explorer Star
Every good gold scout
Gonna wind up there
Every play boy Ping
With his bleech blond hair

Hey hey I wanna be a Scout Star
Hey hey I wanna be a Scout Star

'Cause we all just wanna be scout stars
And live in hill top tents driving 15 go karts
And the fire comes easy and the equipment's cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we eat and eat
And we'll hang out with Mr Barr
And the VIP with the Explorer Star
Every good gold scout
Gonna wind up there
Everybody has got Martyn
On thier speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a Scout Star
Hey hey I wanna be a Scout Star
Yes I do
