"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 THEY 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 YOU 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!
