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

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

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

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

[Verse 3]
G                             C  
In all seriousness, you guys are 
                  D
really cool
G                         C      
t’s noble and impressive we’re so
              D
 proud of you
Em          D             C     
Men of integrity, woman of honor
       G

Em            D            C    
In the same class as Neil 
         G
Armstrong and Gerald Ford

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

Em                    G           
It’s something so commendable, you
Em           G
 really should be proud
Em                 D            
Give yourselves a round applause and
G
 make it loud.
