Another Tom Lehrer classic . . .
Be Prepared
Be prepared!
That's the Boy Scout's marching song.
Be Prepared!
As through life you march along.
Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well,
Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell.
Be Prepared!
To hide that pack of cigarettes,
Don't make book
If you cannot cover bets.
Keep those reefers hidden so that they will not be found
And be careful not to smoke them when the scoutmaster's around
'Cause he'll only insist that they be shared.
Be Prepared!
Be Prepared!
That's the Boy Scout's solemn creed.
Be Prepared!
And be clean in word and deed.
Don't solicit for your sister ... that's not nice
Unless you get a good percentage of her price.
Be Prepared!
And be careful not to do
Your good deed
When there's no one watching you.
If you're looking for adventure of a new and different kind
And you come across a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined.
Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared . . .
Be Prepared!
