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
Yeehee, keep your hands and feet Inside of the vehicle at all times
Ooh, 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 till we're creamed
