Once a Pack of Cub Scouts camped in an open field
Under the shade of an old oak tree
And they sang as they watched and waited ‘till the sun went down
"Who’ll come and wind up Akela with me" Wind up Akela, wind up Akela, who’ll come and wind up Akela with me
and they sang as they watched and waited ‘till the sun went down
"Who’ll come and wind up Akela with me." Down came the mighty KAA, bringing cups of orange squash,
up jumped the Cubs and grabbed them with glee
and they sang as they drank and mumbled through the biscuit crumbs
"Who’ll come and wind up Akela with me."
Wind up Akela.......... In went the Cubs all tucked into their sleeping bags
up spoke the youngest "I want to do a wee!"
and they sang as they argued whose turn it would be next
"Who’ll come and wind up Akela with me."
Wind up Akela........... Up strode Akela, bringing back the youngest Cub
"You’d better watch your step" said he
"For I’ve heard you singing ever since this afternoon
who’ll come and wind up Akela with me.
Wind up Akela........... Silence descended all across the camping ground
All the tents were quiet, one, two, three
Save for one little voice, which murmured as he went to sleep
"Who’ll come and wind up Akela with me."
Wind up Akela............ |
