Boarding School Lyrics
Everyone from home says that you’re so cool
Come on everybody to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
Come on get down to the boarding school
L-Let’s do drugs
Make love with our teachers
Come on, baby, tell me,
What is tattooed as featured.
I’m a fan of Pro Ana nation
I do them drugs to stop the f-food cravings
If you wanna get high with me, I’m in the back
Doing crack, drinking P-P-Pepsi
Everyone from home says that you’re so cool
Come on everybody to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
Come on get down to the boarding school
Cheap trailer trash and everyone knows it
But she got a great ass and she knows how to show it
With american flags on each little finger
You’re crashing on Wall Street while I’m blowing up as a singer
If you wanna get that scholarship
Love's not a problem, let’s solve it
Educated in the language of doing-it
Get down like your tutor taught you to and do it
Everyone from home says that you’re so cool
Come on everybody to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
Come on get down to the boarding school
If you wanna get that sugar cane
If you wanna be that pin up queen, you can you can
If you wanna do that South Beach swing
Or go on group vacationing, you can you can
When they said prolific, they weren't kidding
You thought that I was just a calendar kitten
But now you heard me purring, tiger you’re smitten
So let’s begin to major in the art of sinning
Everyone from home says that you’re so cool
Come on everybody to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
Come on get down to the boarding school
Come on everybody to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
Come on get down to the boarding school
Make love with our teachers
Come on, baby, tell me,
What is tattooed as featured.
I do them drugs to stop the f-food cravings
If you wanna get high with me, I’m in the back
Doing crack, drinking P-P-Pepsi
Come on everybody to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
Come on get down to the boarding school
But she got a great ass and she knows how to show it
With american flags on each little finger
You’re crashing on Wall Street while I’m blowing up as a singer
Love's not a problem, let’s solve it
Educated in the language of doing-it
Get down like your tutor taught you to and do it
Come on everybody to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
Come on get down to the boarding school
If you wanna be that pin up queen, you can you can
If you wanna do that South Beach swing
Or go on group vacationing, you can you can
You thought that I was just a calendar kitten
But now you heard me purring, tiger you’re smitten
So let’s begin to major in the art of sinning
Come on everybody to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
Come on get down to the boarding school

I think it's pretty obvious that its about how she's trying to rebel against the strictness of her boarding school by purposely doing things that are against the rules.
I know this song is about how Lana went to boarding school, but does it remind anyone else of Serena from Gossip Girl? LOL
From the rolling stones interview: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/lana-del-rey-vamp-of-constant-sorrow-20140731?page=8
In an early song called "Boarding School," she mentions being part of a "pro-ana nation" referring to anorexia, and sings, "Had to do drugs to stop the food cravings." But she insists that's fiction. "The mentality of the pro-ana community was just something that was interesting to me."
A young English instructor introduced her to Allen Ginsberg, Walt Whitman and Vladimir Nabokov (she has tattoos of the latter two names on her forearm), plus Tupac, the Notorious B.I.G. and old movies like The Big Sleep. Lines in "Boarding School" and another unreleased track, "Prom Song," led fans to question the precise nature of this relationship, but Del Rey says it was nothing inappropriate. "He was just my friend."
From a live version(she loves changing the lyrics live): If you wanna get that scholarship Yale's not a problem, let’s solve it Educated in the language of doing-it Get down like your tutor taught you to and do it
