Be Prepared

Be prepared!

That's the Boy Scouts'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 where you're sure

That they will not be found

And be careful not to smoke them

When the scoutmaster's around

For he only will insist that it be shared

Be prepared!

Be prepared!

That's the Boy Scouts' 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 deeds

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!
