  When in danger or in doubt
  Run in circles, scream and shout!

- @macromeh I’m not going to call you wrong (because most versions are equally valid), but I heard it as:
  
  When in trouble, when in doubt,
  run in circles, scream and shout.
  
  That was from The Girl from Tomorrow (an Australian show from the 90’s).
  But doing a quick search online, it’s certainly not unique to that one show. That’s just the only place I’ve heard it, until today.

- @xobzoo I’m not sure what the original lines were or where I encountered it, but I’m pretty sure it was sometime in the 70’s.

Well this sucks. With a hard day at work I was hoping for something to quack me up.
