I Was a Boy Scott

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was a boy scout in st. mary's troop

I had my own patrol

I had a necktie and a monkey suit

'til i heard rock and roll.

And i was going into something that was feelin' good

It was something i could understand

I was going into something, it was feeling free

I was singing like a reborn man.

I was a knight of st. columba's

I used to lie a lot

I had a bible and a rosary

And one day i forgot.

And i was going into something that was feelin' good

It was something i could understand

I was going into something, it was feeling free

I was singing like a reborn man.

I sold the shoes, i had a great career

Down at the main street store

'til i decided i should disappear

'til i walked out the door.

And i was going into something that was feelin' good

It was something i could understand

I was going into something, it was feeling free

I was singing like a reborn man (yeah).

I was a boy scout in st. mary's troop

I had my own patrol

I had a necktie and a monkey suit

'til i heard rock and roll.

And i was going into something that was feelin' good

It was something i could understand

I was going into something, it was feeling free

I was singing like a reborn man.

I was going into something, it was feeling free

I was singing like a reborn man (yeah).

I was a boy scout

I had my own patrol.
