Be Prepared Ukulele chords by Tom Lehrer

C
Be prepared, that's the Boy Scouts' marching song
      G
Be prepared, as through life you march along
      C                  E             A
Be prepared to hold your liquor fairly well
            D                                   G
Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell

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

      C
Be prepared, that's the Boy Scouts' solemn creed
      G
Be prepared, and be clean in word and deed
      C                E                  A
Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice
           D                            G
Unless you get a good percentage of her price

      C                                         G
Be prepared, and be careful not to do your good deeds

When there's no one watching you
          C                          F
If you're looking for adventure of a new and different kind
        D                               G
And you come across a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined
         C                 F                   D
Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared
F   G     C      F  C  F  G  C
Be prepared
