Brown Owl

She was a cub scout leader
Ran the Brownies too
Sweet to the children
But mean to me

Ow ow ow She was the Brown Owl
Turned heads in the park
Eyes always watching for the moment
To grab me in the dark
I tried to light her fire
Never got more than a spark
Ow, Brown Owl, ow Brown Owl

Gave me a badge for loving
Sewed it to my shirt
Said I got A for effort
But D for skill

Ow ow ow She was the Brown Owl
Turned heads in the park
Eyes always watching for the moment
To grab me in the dark
I tried to light her fire
Never got more than a spark
Ow, Brown Owl, ow Brown Owl

And when we set our camp fire
And raised the tent
It wasn't on wayfaring
The time we spent

Ow ow ow She was the Brown Owl
Turned heads in the park
Eyes always watching for the moment
To grab me in the dark
I tried to light her fire
Never got more than a spark
Ow, Brown Owl, ow Brown Owl
Ow, ow, ow, Brown Owl
