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.
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!
Tom Lehrer (Thomas Andrew Lehrer) was an American singer-songwriter, comedian, pianist, and mathematician born in New York City in 1920. Known for his humorous, often satirical songs with witty lyrics, he rose to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s. His songs, characterized by a fast tempo and catchy melodies, tackled controversial topics such as war, politics, and religion, always with a touch of irony and sarcasm. Among his most famous tracks are "The Elements", "Werner Herzog's Last Movie" and "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park". Lehrer released several albums, including "Tom Lehrer Sings" (1959) and "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer" (1965). Besides music, Lehrer dedicated himself to teaching mathematics at Harvard University. His musical career ended in the 1970s, but his songs continue to be appreciated for their intelligence and biting humor.
