Be prepared
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
