Be Prepared - Benjy Gaither

thirty-seven years ago

a witch done put a spell on me

a spell where when I'm talking

i'm singing it with glee

but when you're always singing

you've got to live alone

that's why i made

this mountain shack my home

when you're on the mountain

you got no guarantees

That life will turn up roses

or turn out as you please

when you're on the mountain

there's lots to be a-feared

that's why this here

old mountain goat's prepared

be prepared

be prepared

This lesson must be shared

This lesson must be shared

be prepared

be prepared

be prepared

and unless you've got a spare

you've got one life so handle it with care

i got horns that open bottles

i got horns that hold my keys

i got horns that when you turn'em right

they help me watch tv

i got horns that open pickle jars

and horns that come with hair

i got horns that hold my other horns

i always come prepared

be prepared

be prepared

this lesson must be shared

this lesson must be shared

be prepared

be prepared

be prepared

and unless you've got a spare

you've got one life so handle it with care

an avalanche is coming

and i do not feel prepared

it's rumbling like a mountain lion

i must say that i'm scared

and if not for the witch's spell

you'd hear just how i scream

but since I'm only singing

i'll just yodel till we're creamed
