These are our regulationsA
There's just one law for the ScoutB
And the first and the last and the present and the pastC
And the future and the perfect is quot Look out quotC
I thou and he look outC
We ye and they look outC
Though you didn't or you wouldn'tC
Or you hadn't or you couldn'tC
You jolly well must look outC
-
Look out when you start for the dayC
That your kit is packed to your mindC
There is no use going awayC
With half of it left behindC
Look out that your laces are tightC
And your boots are easy and stoutC
Or you'll end with a blister at nightC
Chorus All Patrols look outC
-
Look out for the birds of the airD
Look out for the beasts of the fieldC
They'll tell you how and whereD
The other side's concealedC
When the blackbird bolts from the copseA
Or the cattle are staring aboutC
The wise commander stopsA
And chorus All Patrols look outC
-
Look out when your front is clearE
And you feel you are bound to winF
Look out for your flank and your rearE
That's where surprises beginF
For the rustle that isn't a ratC
For the splash that isn't a troutC
For the boulder that may be a hatC
Chorus All Patrols look outC
-
For the innocent knee high grassA
For the ditch that never tellsA
Look out Look out ere you passA
And look out for everything elseA
A sign mis read as you runG
May turn retreat to a routC
For all things under the sunG
Chorus All Patrols look outC
-
Look out when your temper goesA
At the end of a losing gameH
When your boots are too tight for your toesA
And you answer and argue and blameH
It's the hardest part of the LowI
But it has to be learnt by the ScoutC
For whining and shirking and quot jaw quotC
Chorus All Patrols look outC
