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

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
