Never double at IMP's

[pilowsky]

The Tom Lehrer song you are thinking of is "Be Prepared" (the motto of the Boy Scouts:

 

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 they 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!

 

Cheers,

Mike

 

I had the album! Long after I lost the record player. Lehrer is the German word for teacher/educator. Like Art Garfunkel, He was a mathematician - at Harvard - where he fought fiercely and did new math, wearing his lead BVD's - so says Werner von Braun while doing the Vatican rag.
