LYRICS:

I want to be a Girl Scout Cookie.

Being a Girl Scout makes me happy.

There are so many things you do as a Girl Scout --

many things people just don’t get to see.

I want to be a Girl Scout Cookie.

Being a Girl Scout makes me happy.

There are so many things you do as a Girl Scout --

many things people just don’t know about.

I want to be a Girl Scout. (Girl Scout)

I don’t have to be a cookie. (cookie, cookie)

I want to be a Girl Scout. (Girl Scout)

Being in Girl Scouts has set my mind free. (mind free)

Even when I’m not a girl anymore. (anymore)

I’ll still be a Girl Scout in my heart. (in my heart)

It’s taught me so many things about what life is about,

but ...

Sometimes I don’t want to be a Girl Scout anymore.

The last thing I want to do is eat cookies and s’mores.

I don’t want to be a Girl Scout anymore.

I don’t want to be

a Girl Scout cookie.

Do you want to be a Girl Scout? No.

But, then again, I miss it so.

Do you want to be a Girl Scout? No.

But, then again, I miss it so.

I think I might change my mind.

Good friendships are hard to find.

I’m going to change my mind.

The friendships we’ve built here are hard to find.

I want to be a Girl Scout Cookie.

Being a Girl Scout makes me happy.

There are so many things you do as a Girl Scout --

many things people just don’t get to see.
