[Verse 1] Pack it tight and pack it right, Before you’re sleeping out of sight. Got your waterproof pouch to hold the gear, Keep you safe and clear of fear! First the basics, listen close: These are things you need the most! [Chorus] Matches and a candle, strike a little flame! Flint and steel and lenses, playing survival's game! Fishhooks, line, and a wire saw blade, That’s the survival kit the masters made! Yeah, Lofty’s list will see you through, From the deep dark woods to the ocean blue! [Verse 2] Need a medical stash for a sudden ache? Better know the precautions you've got to take! Pain relievers, tablets to clear the drink, Surgical blades and sutures—quick as a wink! Plasters and band-aids, keep wounds clean, Best little kit that you've ever seen! [Chorus] Matches and a candle, strike a little flame! Flint and steel and lenses, playing survival's game! Fishhooks, line, and a wire saw blade, That’s the survival kit the masters made! [Bridge] Don't forget the tools for the open way: Map and a compass to save the day! Needle and thread for a torn-up pack, Whistle to blow if you're losing track! A sturdy knife with a edge so keen, The sharpest survival you've ever seen! [Outro] So check your pouch, And don't you crouch— Stand up tall, you're ready for all! Matches, compass, knife, and thread— Keep a cool and level head! (Snap, clap, march on!)
