lyrics

I wanna be an adult boy scout
And wear cool skirts and say cool words
I wanna know all the passwords
And wear a ring on every finger
I want that G across my chest
I know I'll nail initiation
I'm not religious but I bet
That I could fake God for an evening

Ritual! Ritual! Ritual! Ritual!

I'll go to every meeting
And make sure the girls stay out
I'll kill it at the formal dinners
They're never gonna have a doubt

I'll always keep the sash clean
And keep the temple lit
Yeah, I'm gonna be an adult boy scout
And I don't give a shit

I wanna be an adult boy scout
And get my merit badge in Secrets
I wanna know all the handshakes
The signs and grips and whatever else
I gotta know how much it costs
To get a shirt dry cleaned that much
I wanna say "my body's ready"
To the adult boy scout judge

I'm going right to the top
I'll get every degree
Trample everyone underneath
They're gonna learn to love me

Meet me at the Grand Lodge
Oh, I'm so in
