Oh, fathers, are you ready?
Oh, fathers, are you ready?
When this world's at an end.

Chorus: I believe in being ready,
I believe in being ready,
I believe in being ready,
When this world's at an end.

Oh, mothers, are you ready?
Oh, mothers, are you ready?
Oh, mothers, are you ready?
When this world's at an end.

(Chorus)

(Mr. Detherow: "And you add the brothers and sisters to that just like you did the others.")
