Peaches

You know

Of all the songs I have ever sung

That is the one

I've 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

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 it 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
