You know: of all the songs I've 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 litt 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. Motto is, as you know, be prepared! and that is the name of this song.Be prepared! that's the boy scout's 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.
