Rafferty, Gerry - I Was A Boy Scout Lyrics
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.
It was something I could understand
I was going into something, it was feeling free
I was singing like a reborn man.
I was around to see Columbus
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
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.
Now 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 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, hey, mmm, hey
I was a boy scout, mmm
I had my own patrol, yeah.

Snakes'n'Ladders - I'm undecided, but maybe it's Gerry's best album. Boy Scout - to me one of his best songs.
