Be Prepared

Be prepared help an old lady cross the street

Be prepared always be sure your room is neat

Be prepared get up and give someone your seat

And you'll be a real good scout

Be prepared carry your girl's books home from school

Don't lose your temper play it cool

Always obey the golden rule

And you'll be a real good scout

So listen to your dad and mother

And learn that one good turn deserves another

Be prepared help with the dishes every night

Be prepared try shakin' hands and stop a fight

Be prepared remember two wrongs don't make a right

And there isn't any doubt

That you'll be a real good scout

Be prepared light up a fire with just two sticks

Be prepared find something broke and you can fix

Be prepared smile at the teacher just for kicks

And you'll be a real good scout

Be prepared like everybody every place

Be prepared like every color breed or race

Be prepared be them from earth or outer space

And you'll be a real good scout

Just love thy neighbor like a brother

You find that one good turn deserves another

Be prepared always be kind to dogs and cats

Be prepared all of our doors have welcome mats

It's great to be alive and that's

Something to sing about it's fun to be a real good scout
