My Proxy Eagle
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Steve Miller (Fly Like an Eagle)
Tic toc tic do, do, do, it
Tic toc tic do, do, do, it
Tic toc tic do, do, do, it
Tic toc tic do, do, do, it
I think that junior, junior, junior,
I think that junior, junior, junior,
should be a boy scout
should be a boy scout
I have been pushin’, pushin’, pushin’,
I have been pushin’, pushin’, pushin’,
since he was a bean sprout
since he was a bean sprout
He needs to try for his Eagle, (says me)
He needs to try for his Eagle, (says me)
Apply for his Eagle, well before he turns thirteen
Apply for his Eagle, well before he turns thirteen
I’d even buy him his Eagle, is that a thing?
I’d even buy him his Eagle, is that a thing?
Ooh, ooh, this is my obsession
Ooh, ooh, this is my obsession
He’s my baby,
He’s my baby,
and I know what’s best for him
and I know what’s best for him
He’ll learn first aid,
He’ll learn first aid,
fingerprinting, and how to swim,
fingerprinting, and how to swim,
pulp and paper, and even bugling
pulp and paper, and even bugling
citizenship in the nation
citizenship in the nation
He should try for his Eagle, while he’s young
He should try for his Eagle, while he’s young
He doesn’t want to, but I’ll make him get it done
He doesn’t want to, but I’ll make him get it done
Cause this is my proxy Eagle,
Cause this is my proxy Eagle,
And he’s my son
And he’s my son
I don’t think it’s exploitation
I don’t think it’s exploitation
I think there’s no time, to be, wasted
I think there’s no time, to be, wasted
When you’re a Boy Scout
When you’re a Boy Scout
I always tell him, tell him, tell him
I always tell him, tell him, tell him
to get the lead out
to get the lead out
Do it, do it!
Do it, do it!
Do it, do it!
Do it, do it!
Do it, do it!
Do it, do it!
Do it, do it!
Do it, do it!
I’ll keep his eye on his Eagle, till it’s done
I’ll keep his eye on his Eagle, till it’s done
Work on his Eagle without any distraction
Work on his Eagle without any distraction
And sometimes earning his Eagle,
And sometimes earning his Eagle,
won’t be fun
won’t be fun
Here are two of my predictions
Here are two of my predictions
Knots will keep slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Knots will keep slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Till he gets better
Till he gets better
Tents will keep rippin’, rippin’, rippin’
Tents will keep rippin’, rippin’, rippin’
He will get wetter
He will get wetter
