Evening sunset paints the sky
Smoke from campfire drifts on high
Songs and stories we like best
Just before we go to rest
Goodnight to every . . . Scout, say goodnight
To those away and these here in our sight
The fun we've had we will not soon forget
The things we've learned and the pals we've met
And so, goodnight to every . . . Scout, say goodnight
Above may each {girl's|boy's star send forth its light
While songs and stories shared now wing their flight
Goodnight, sweet dreams, goodnight!
