G     C          
Be prepared, thats the Boy Scouts marching song
      G7
Be prepared, as through life you march along
      C                  E7            A7
Be prepared to hold your liquor fairly well
            D7                                  G7
Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell

      C
Be prepared to hide that pack of cigarettes
           G7
Don't make book -- if you cannot cover bets
           C              C7                F         C7     F
Keep those reefers hidden where you're sure they will not be found
Cm     D       A7/D   D7                  G        D7    G
And be careful not to smoke them when the scoutmaster's around
G7     C           F                 D7      Fm6
For he only will insist that they be shared
G7    C       C / F / | C / F / | C / G7 / ||
Be prepared

Be prepared, thats the Boy Scouts solemn creed
Be prepared, and be clean in word in deed
Don't solicit for your sister, thats 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
