  			Intro 

verse 1 
G                       C                 D 
Well, I went camping and I caught poison oak, 
G                                C                   D 
Calamine lotion makes me look like a pink joke 
Em          D            C                 G 
What’s so embarrassing is where I’ve got the itch 
Em         D              C                 G 
I caught it going #2 hangin’ over a ditch 

Chorus 
Em                    G           Em           G 
It itches when I sit down and when the flame goes out 
Em                 D            G 
I hope it’s gone before the venture girls find out

verse 2 
G                             C                    D 
The phrase that we're known for is to 'Be Prepared' 
G                         C                    D 
We’re supposed to play 'dead' when we see a bear 
Em          D             C            G 
I don't tell anyone but that's the craziest thing I've heard 
Em            D            C             G 
He’ll eat you up and make you into a turd 

Chorus 
Em                    G           Em           G 
If I see a bear I’ll try to be in a 'dead stance' 
Em                 D            G 
But I’ll probably poop in my pants

G                         C                    D 
t’s noble and impressive we’re so proud of you 
Em          D             C            G 
Men of integrity, woman of honor 
Em            D            C             G 
In the same class as Neil Armstrong and Gerald Ford 

Chorus 
Em                    G           Em           G 
It’s something so commendable, you really should be proud

I'm honored to perform for such a crowd
