| These are our regulations | B |
| There's just one law for the Scout | C |
| And the first and the last and the present and the past | D |
| And the future and the perfect is quot Look out quot | D |
| I thou and he look out | D |
| We ye and they look out | D |
| Though you didn't or you wouldn't | D |
| Or you hadn't or you couldn't | D |
| You jolly well must look out | D |

| Look out when you start for the day | D |
| That your kit is packed to your mind | D |
| There is no use going away | D |
| With half of it left behind | D |
| Look out that your laces are tight | D |
| And your boots are easy and stout | D |
| Or you'll end with a blister at night | D |
| Chorus All Patrols look out | D |
| - | |
| Look out for the birds of the air | E |
| Look out for the beasts of the field | D |
| They'll tell you how and where | E |
| The other side's concealed | D |
| When the blackbird bolts from the copse | B |
| Or the cattle are staring about | D |
| The wise commander stops | B |
| And chorus All Patrols look out | D |

| Look out when your front is clear | F |
| And you feel you are bound to win | G |

| For the splash that isn't a trout | D |
| For the boulder that may be a hat | D |
| Chorus All Patrols look out | D |

| For the innocent knee high grass | B |
| For the ditch that never tells | B |
| Look out Look out ere you pass | B |
| And look out for everything else | B |
| A sign mis read as you run | H |
| May turn retreat to a rout | D |
| For all things under the sun | H |
| Chorus All Patrols look out | D |
| - | |
| Look out when your temper goes | B |
| At the end of a losing game | I |
| When your boots are too tight for your toes | B |
| And you answer and argue and blame | I |
| It's the hardest part of the Low | J |
| But it has to be learnt by the Scout | D |
| For whining and shirking and quot jaw quot | D |
| Chorus All Patrols look out | D |
