Ab                       Db              Ab
37 years ago a witch done put a spell on me

  Ab                    F           Bb             Eb
A spell where when I'm talkin' I'm singin' it with glee

Db                  Ab         Db     Ab    Fm
When you're always singin' you got to live alone

       Db              Ab                 Eb
That's why I made this mountain shack my home


Db                 Ab                Db      Ab   Fm
When you're on the mountain there's lots to be a'feared

       Db                Ab                  Eb
That's why this here old mountain goat's prepared


[Chorus]
    C#          G#        D#       Fm
Yaaayeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaa

    C#          G#        D#
Yaaayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    C#          G#        D#       Fm
Yaaayeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaa

    C#          G#        D#
Yaaayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee



      G#
I got horns that open bottles
          C#                 G#
And I got horns that hold my keys
      G#                  F                    A#             D#
I got horns that when you turn 'em right they help me watch TV
      C#              G#
I got horns that open pickle jars
    C#         G#        Fm
And horns that come with hair
      C#                 G#
I got horns that hang my other horns
  D#     C#       G#
I always come prepared



[Chorus]

      C#           G#
Be prepared be prepared

       D#             G#
This lesson must be shared

       C#              G#
This lesson must be shared

      D#
Be prepared

      C#           G#
Be prepared be prepared

      C#       G#    Fm
And unless you got a spare

    C#               G#              D#
You got one life so handle it with care



    C#          G#        D#       Fm
Yaaayeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaa

    C#          G#        D#
Yaaayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    C#          G#        D#       Fm
Yaaayeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaa

    C#          G#        D#
Yaaayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee



   C#             G#               D#
Ya ringadinglanga dingalingidangapipaaaa



            G#                        C#             G#
Ooooooh an avalanche is comin' and I do not feel prepared

     G#              F                 A#                D#
It's rumblin' like a mountain lion - I must say that I'm scared

    C#             G#                  C#        G#    Fm
And if not for the witch's spell you'd hear just how I scream

    C#             G#                 D#     C#        G#
But since I'm only singin' I'll just yodel 'til we're creamed
goat yodelling
