Revisited:
You know, of all the songs I have ever sung, that is the one
Ive had the most requests not to.
I have time for one more here. This one is a little song
dedicated to the Boy Scouts of America. (applause) We seem
to have a convention here tonight. The Boy Scouts of America,
those noble little bastions of democracy, and the American
Legion of tomorrow. Their motto is...
I would like to state at this time that I am not now and
have never been... a member of the Boy Scouts of America.
Their motto is, as you know, 'Be Prepared,' and that is
the name of this song.
Be prepared! Thats the Boy Scouts marching song
Be prepared! As through life you march along
Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well
Dont write naughty words on walls if you cant spell
Be prepared! To hide that pack of cigarettes
Dont make book if you cannot cover bets
Keep those reefers hidden where youre sure
That they will not be found
And be careful not to smoke them
When the scoutmasters around
For he only will insist that it be shared
Be prepared!
Be prepared! Thats the Boy Scouts solemn creed
Be prepared! And be clean in word and deed
Dont 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 theres no one watching you
If youre looking for adventure of a
new and different kind
And you come across a Girl Scout who is
similarly inclined
Dont be nervous, dont be flustered, dont be scared
Be prepared!
