Merit badges, merit badges made me rich in knowledge of the woods and the mighty clove hitch
But missing from the string of the wisdom pearls
Was a sk** award telling you how to get girls
Still I go out to the bars every week to try and meet her
And what do you mean, what is a troop patrol leader?
Yeah, I heard it all before, I know you think it was lame
But, girl, if you are drowning, guess who's gonna save you?
I used to be a Boy Scout
And I wonder, can you help me out
I'm looking for a Girl Scout
A Thin Mint for my hungry mouth
Klondike, Klondike, riding through the snow
We did, and won the crowd, even though our sled broke
And, yeah, those gold nuggets didn't add up to cash
But there's no amount of money can buy a full sash
Which, draped across your chest, makes you look a little regal
And everybody knows that you're hanging with an eagle
If you're lost in the woods hiking on your "vacay"
Give me a compa** and a map, I'll help you find the way
I used to be a Boy Scout
And I wonder, can you help me out?
I'm looking for a Girl Scout
A Thin Mint for my hungry mouth
Thrifty, clean, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, friendly
I can start your fire without using lighter fluid
I can do a lot of things that you might think are stupid
If we're stuck in the rain on a desert island set
I'll gather up some birch bark, it lights when it's wet
I used to be a Boy Scout
And I wonder, can you help me out?
I'm looking for a Girl Scout
A Thin Mint for my hungry mouth
For my hungry mouth
