37 years ago a witch done put a spell on me
A spell where when I'm talkin' I'm singin' it with
glee.
When you're always singin' you got to live alone
That's why I made this mountain shack my home.

And 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 got a spare,
You got one life, so handle it with care!

I got horns that open bottles,
And 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 hang 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 got a spare,
You got one life, so handle it with care!

Yeeeheeeee! Keep your hands and feet inside of the
vehicle at all times!

(goat yodelling and more)

Ooooooh, an avalanche is comin' and I do not feel
prepared,
It's rumblin' 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 singin', I'll just yodel 'til we're
creamed!
