Be Prepared 1916

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 05 June 2005

When the enemy attacks us
in the silent dread of night,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!
When he's out in all his terror
for to give us a big fight,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!
Think of all the loved ones,
think of home and mother too,
think of life and freedom
'neath the old Red, White and Blue.
Every man united,
every loyal heart and true,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!

Just remember the great hero
was the brave George Washington,
think of Grant and Lincoln
in the days of sixtyone,
think of all the battles
that these noble heroes won!
In the Army and Navy for ever,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!

Just remember that we're peaceful,
never looking for a fight,
out for love and freedom,
and the cause we know is right,
when the foe attacks us
in the day, or in the night,
in the Army and Navy for ever,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!

When the call to arms "Get Ready"
comes aringing through the land,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!
Every man united there
to make a brave and solid stand,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!
When you hear the bugle calling,
and the drum and fife,
when you know the desperate foe
is seeking for your life,
then you know that you must go
into the deadly strife,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!

Just remember the great hero
was the brave George Washington,
think of Grant and Lincoln
in the days of sixtyone,
think of all the battles
that these noble heroes won!
In the Army and Navy for ever,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!

Just remember that we're peaceful,
never looking for a fight,
out for love and freedom,
and the cause we know is right,
when the foe attacks us
in the day, or in the night,
in the Army and Navy for ever,
Be Prepared! Be Prepared!
