ARTIST: Tom Lehrer TITLE: Be Prepared Lyrics and Chords 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 / C - - - / G7 - - - / C E7 A7 - / D7 - G7 - / 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 they be shared Be prepared / " / " / C C7 F - / D D7 G - / C F D7 G7 / C - - G7 / 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
