[Intro] G G Cadd9 D G G Cadd9 D [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
[Interlude] G G C D G G C D [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
[Instrumental] G G C D G G C D G G C D G G C D Em D C G Em D C G [Verse 3]
G                             C                    D
In all seriousness, you guys are really cool

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

Em                 D            G
I'm honored to perform for such a crowd
[Interlude] G G C D G G C D [Chorus]
Em                    G           Em           G
It’s something so commendable, you really should be proud

Em                 D            G
Give yourselves a round applause and make it loud.
