Tom Lehrer - Be prepared

Be pre^Cpared, that's the Boy Scouts' marching song Be pre^Gpared, as through life you march along Be pre^Cpared to hold your ^Eliquor fairly ^Awell Don't write ^Dnaughty words on walls if you can't ^Gspell

Be pre^Cpared to hide that pack of cigarettes Don't make ^Gbook if you cannot cover bets Keep those ^Creefers hidden where you're sure that ^Fthey will not be found And be ^Dcareful not to smoke them when the ^Gscoutmaster's around For he ^Conly will in^Fsist that they be ^Dshared ^FBe p^Grepare^Cd ^{F C F C G}

Be pre^Cpared, that's the Boy Scouts' solemn creed Be pre^Gpared, and be clean in word and deed Don't ^Csolicit for your ^Esister, that's not ^Anice Unless you ^Dget a good percentage of her ^Gprice

Be pre^Cpared, and be careful not to do your good ^Gdeeds When there's no one watching you If you're ^Clooking for adventure of a ^Fnew and different kind And you ^Dcome across a Girl Scout who is ^Gsimilarly inclined Don't be ^Cnervous, don't be ^Fflustered, don't be ^Dscared ^FBe p^Grepare^Cd ^{F C F G C}
