Mom You Earned Your Eagle                       
[Verse 1]
Hey MCama I can still recall,  That dFay you came back from the mall,
And shCowed me that green shirt all fresh and nGew,
You tCold me I would soon become, and EFagle Scout, your only son,
I dGidn't know that you would be one tCoo.
[Chorus]
MCa, you earned your EGagle, no one can disagrCee,
Ma, you earned your EFagle, but they gGave the badge to Cme.
[Verse 2]
When CI was a young Boy Scout, I wFondered, “What's it all about?”
But yCou made sure I knew the things to dGo,           “You sure did”
You tCold me I should be prepared, I dFidn't tell you I was scared,
'Cause the oGnly one who was prepared was yCou.
[Chorus]
MCa, you earned your EGagle, no one can disagrCee,
Ma, you earned your EFagle, but they gGave the badge to Cme.
[Verse 3]
We hCiked and cooked and made a mess, do yFou feel tired?  Well more or less,
But nCever once have I heard you complGain,             “Not once”
Even wChen I blew the kitchen up, or tFried to sing, or launched the pup,
My eGver faithful Mom you still remCain.
[Chorus]
MCa, you earned your EGagle, no one can disagrCee,
Ma, you earned your EFagle, but they gGave the badge to Cme.                                               
[Verse 4]
           “I got one, I got one,”
Well oCnce I built a fire out back, abFout gave her a heart attack,
But CI assured, “It's all under contrGol,”
But tChen you heard the sirens roar, and cFame back running out the door,
To sGee that he forgot, Stop, Drop, and RColl.
[Chorus]
MCa, you earned your EGagle, no one can disagrCee,
Ma, you earned your EFagle, but they gGave the badge to C7me.
[Interlude]
So nFow you know, about a lot of things, you never kCnew before,
Like gFeode rocks, and stinky socks, and boys who eat, then Geat some more,      
                                                                           “Yumm”
[Verse 5]
You've crCammed all twelve of us in your van, with tFents and packs and cans of spam,
And heCaded for the hills out on a drGive,
But paCcked in there with smelly boys, and trFaffic jams and lots of noise,
You're oGnly glad you made it out alCive.
[Chorus]
MCa, you earned your EGagle, no one can disagrCee,
Ma, you earned your EFagle, but they gGave the badge to Cme.
[Outro]
MCa, you earned your EGagle, no one can disagrCee,
Ma, you earned your EFagle,  and.. 
I wGanna say thanks but don't know how,  so I wrGote this song just to tCell you now,
I'm gGlad we earned our EC7agle, SomehGow.     C“WaaGhoooC”              G
