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 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
