Sittin' on a mountain top, beating my drum
Beat it so hard that the MP's come
I said MP, MP, don't arrest me
Arrest that leg behind the tree
He stole the whiskey, I stole the wine
All I ever do is double-time
Airborne Ranger raving mad
He's got a tab I wish I had
Black and gold and half moon shape
Airborne Ranger, he's gone ape
Jumpin' through windows, kicking down the walls
Airborne Ranger's havin' a ball
So if there's a trouble in the world today
Call on the men in the Black Berets!
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Oh how my _____ is (are) swollen (ankles, feet, legs, knees,
etc.) <BR>
Don't let your dingle dangle dangle in the mud
Pickup your dingle dangle, give it to your bud
dangle in the dirt (ground) (track)
put it in your shirt (toss it all around) (put it in your pack)
Up in the morning 'fore the break of day
I don't like it, no way
Eat my breakfast too damn soon
Hungry as a hound dog, 'fore noon
Went to the mess hall on my knees
I said, "Mess SGT., Mess SGT., feed me please!"
Mess SGT. said with a big ol' grin
"If you wanna be Airborne, you gotta be thin"
Up in the morning at the break of day
Working so hard we never play
Running through the jungle where the sun don't shine
All I do is double time
Up in the morning and out of the rack
Grab my clothes and put them on my back
Running cross the desert in the shifting sand
Drill Sergeant, look, I'll give you a helping hand
Up in the morning with a whistle and a yell
I know that voice and I know it well
Drill Sergeant says you better hit the floor
And don't be walking going out the door
I like women and I like wine
But all I do is double time
Double time here and double time there
Man this life, it's the best anywhere
Me and Superman got in a fight
I hit him in the head with some Kryptonite
I hit him so hard I busted his brain
And now I'm dating Lois Lane
Well, me and Batman, we had one, too
I hit him in the head with my left shoe
Right in the temple with my left heel
And now I'm driving the Batmobile
I saw an old lady running down the street
Had a chute on her back, jump boots on her feet
Said, "Hey old lady, where you goin' to?"
She said, "US Army Airborne School"
Whatcha gonna do when you get there?
Jump from a plane and fall through the air
I said, "Hey old lady, ain't you been told?
Airborne School's for the brave and the bold."
She said, "Hey, now soldier, don't be a fool,
I'm an instructor at Airborne School!"
Saw an old lady marching down the road
Had a knife in her hand and a 90 lb. load
Said, "Hey old lady, where you goin' to?"
She said, "US Army Ranger School"
Whatcha gonna do when you get there?
Jump, swim, and kill without a care
I said, "Hey old lady, ain't you been told?
Ranger School's for the brave and the bold."
She said, "Hey, now soldier, don't be a fool,
I'm an instructor at Ranger School!"
Saw an old lady running down the track
Had fins on her feet and a tank on her back
Said, "Hey old lady, where you goin' to?"
She said, "US Army Scuba School"
Whatcha gonna do when you get there?
Swim under water and never breathe air
I said, "Hey old lady, ain't you been told?
Scuba School's for the brave and the bold."
She said, "Hey, now diver, don't be a fool,
I'm an instructor at Scuba School!"
One mile
No sweat
Two miles
Better yet
Three miles
Gotta run
Four miles
To the sun
I don't know but I think I might
Jump from an airplane while in flight
Soldier, soldier, have you heard
I'm gonna jump from a big iron bird
Up in the morning in the drizzlin' rain
Packed my chute and boarded the plane
C-130 rollin' down the strip
64 Rangers on a one-way trip
Mission Top Secret, destination unknown
They don't know if their ever coming home
When my plane gets up so high
Airborne troopers gonna dance in the sky
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four
If my main don't open wide
I got a reserve by my side
If that one should fail me too
Look out ground, I'm a-coming through
If I die on the old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home
Bury speakers all around my head
So I can rock with the Grateful Dead
Bury speakers all around my toes
So I can rock with Axel Rose
If I die on a Chinese hill
Take my watch or the commies will
If I die in the Korean mud
Bury me with a case of Bud
Put my wings upon my chest
And tell my Mom I did my best
A is for Airborne
I is for in the sky
R is for Ranger
B is for bonafide
O is for on the go
R is for Rock-n-Roll
N is for never quit
E is for everyday
'Cause I'm Airborne
All the way
Super-duper
Paratrooper
R is for rough and tough
A is for all the way
N is for never quit
G is for gung-ho
E is for excellence
R is for Ranger
Two old ladies lying in bed
One rolled over to the other and said,
"I wanna be an Airborne Ranger
Live a life of sex and danger
Blood, guts, sex, and danger
That's the life of an Airborne Ranger!"
or
"I..I see your heiny (butt)
It's so big and shiny
When I see it wiggle
It makes me giggle
If you don't hide it
I might just bite it"
When I get to heaven
St. Peter's gonna say,
"How'd you earn your livin' boy,
How'd you earn your pay?"
I'll reply with a whole lot of anger,
"Made my living as an Airborne Ranger!
Blood, guts, sex, and danger
That's the life of an Airborne Ranger!"
When I get to Hell
Satan's gonna say,
"How'd you earn your livin' boy,
How'd you earn your pay?"
I'll reply with a fist to his face,
"Made my living laying SOULS to waste!"
'Coon skin and alligator hide
Makes a pair of jump boots just the right size
Shine 'em up, lace 'em up, put 'em on your feet
Brand new jump boots can't be beat
I had a dog who's name was Boo
Boo wanted to go to Infantry school
So early one day I took away his chow
And I motivated his bow-wow
I made him walk for 15 days
And put old Boo into a zombie haze
Now my Boo's a trooper, too
Mess with him and he'll bite you
GI coat and GI comb
Gee, I wish that I were home
GI coat and GI gravy
Gee, I wish I'd joined the Navy
AWOL, AWOL, where've you been?
Down in the bars, drinking gin
What ya gonna do when you get back?
Sweat it all out on the PT track
Engineers are number one
They call us when there's work to be done
Aviation is all we hear
We do the work, they drink the beer
Pistol ranges, soccer goals
Road extensions, we do it all
Through the desert and across the plains
Steaming jungles and tropic rains
No mortal foe can stop me now
This is gonna be my solemn vow
I have honor annd I have pride
Winning serves me as my guide
This Army shocks our enemies
Brings them crashing to their knees
Basic Training is plenty rough
To make it through you must be tough
Hey, Squad Leader, don't be blue
They're gonna make you a soldier, too
Jesse James said before he died
There's five things he wanted to ride
A bicycle, tricycle, automobile
A bow-legged horse and a ferris wheel
Engineer, engineer running down the road
Running so fast makes the others look old
We're running hard and we're running long
Still singing another stupid song
Build a road or cut down a tree
Or dig some graves for the Infantry
Working hard and working all day
Knocking down anything that gets in the way
Wake up to a mortar attack
Hit the ground, I'm out of the rack
My sergeant rushes me off to chow
But I don't eat it anyhow
Refrain: Oh hail, Oh hail,
Oh infantry
Queen of battle, follow me
Oh, airborne ranger's the life for me
For nothing in this world is free
From a big bird in the sky
All will jump and some will die
Off to battle we will go
To live or die, hell I don't know.
Refrain
Hit the ground with American pride
A bullet through a commie's eye
He ought to be damn glad he died
He'd hate for me to take him alive
It's true that some of us will die
Airborne rangers learn to fly
But not today as I hit the ground
Lock and load another round
Over the hill, some men I've seen
Head to toe in Army green
Moving tactically, not a sound
Infantry soldiers on the ground
Assault, support are all in place
The enemy unaware of his fate
Claymores blast and 60's roar
Again, the airborne ranger scores
Its true that someday I'll be dead
Before I go I'll take more heads
Before us enemies all will flee
'Cause we're the airborne infantry
Somewhere there's a woman
She's crying for her man
He's an airborne ranger
He does the best he can
Refrain: Don't cry for me
I don't need your sympathy
'Cause I'm an airborne ranger
And that's all I want to be
Somewhere there's a mother
She's praying for her son
He's an airborne ranger
And his work is never done
Somewhere there's a father
His head is bowed in grief
His son was an airborne ranger
And he died for his beliefs
Somewhere there's a mother
Flag folded in her hands
Her son was an airborne ranger
And he died for his land
I hear the choppers coming
They're flying overhead
They've come to get the wounded
They've come to get the dead
Refrain: Airborne (shoot,
shoot, shoot, shoot to kill)
Ranger (shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot to kill)
My buddy's in a foxhole
A bullet in his head
The Army says he's living
But I know that he's dead
I ran to tell the C-O
About my buddy's head
But when I got there
The C-O was dead
And now the battle's over
The smoke is all around
We wanted to go home
But we're six feet underground
* In this refrain, the unit sings the words in parentheses at the same
time that the leader sings the words in outside the parentheses.
The unit then
repeats the leader's words in the normal manner.
Airborne ranger, airborne ranger, where have you been
Around the world and back again
Airborne ranger, airborne ranger, how did you go
In a C-130, flying low
Airborne ranger, airborne ranger, how did you get down
In a T-10 charlie, big and round
Airborne ranger, airborne ranger, what did you do
I killed a commie for me and you
Airborne ranger, airborne ranger, how did you get back
In a black and gold body sack

I don't know why I left
But I must've done wrong
Refrain: And it won't be long
'Till I get on back home
Got a letter in the mail
Go to war or go to jail
Sat me in that barber's chair
Spun me around, I had no hair
Used to drive a Cadillac
Now I pack it on my back
Used to drive a limousine
Now I'm wearing Army green
Dress it right and cover down
Forty inches all around
Nine to the front and six to the rear
That's the way we do it here
Used to date a beauty queen
Now I date my M-16
Ain't no use in lookin' down
Ain't no discharge on the ground
Ain't no use in going back
Jody's got your Cadillac
Ain't no use in calling home
Jody's got your girl and gone
Ain't no use in feeling blue
Jody's got your sister too
Took away my faded jeans
Now I'm wearing Army greens
They took away my gin and rum
Now I'm up before the sun
Mama Mama can't you see
What this Army's done for me
Mama Mama can't you see
This Army life is killing me
Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he
He called for his pipe and called for his bowl and he called for his
privates, three
Beer, beer, beer said the privates
Merry men are we
But none so fair that they can compare to the airborne infantry
Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he
He called for his pipe and called for his bowl and he called for his
corporals, three
I need a three-day pass said the corporals
Beer, beer, beer said the privates
Merry men are we
But none so fair that they can compare to the airborne infantry
* The cadence continues on in this manner, with a verse about
a higher
rank and repeating all of the ranks before. Eight verses are
sung with
these lyrics: (the cadet is added only if you want to)
privates three

In fourteen hundred and ninety-two

He said it could be found-of

Said Isabel to Ferdinand

Let the four winds blow

The US Army is the best
Standing tall and looking good
Ought to march in Hollywood
Hold your head and hold it high
___ Platoon is marching by
Close your eyes and hang your head
We are marching by the dead
Look to your right and whadta see?
A whole bunch of legs looking at me
Dress it right and cover down
Forty inches all around
Nine to the front, six to the rear
That's the way we do it here
Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the springtime, in the merry month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She wore it for that soldier who was far, far away
Refrain: Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for that soldier who was far, far away.
Around the block she pushed a baby carriage...
Around her thigh she wore a yellow garter...
Behind the door her daddy kept his shotgun...
In the church the preacher kept a license...
Everywhere I go
There's a Black Hat there (or Drill Sergeant)
Every where I go
There's a Black Hat there
Black Hat
Black Hat
Why don't you leave me alone
And let me go back home
Sub in for "Everywhere I go" above:
When I eat my chow...
When I comb my hair...
When I brush my teeth...
When I get my shots...
When I do PT...
When I see my girl...
When I get out of bed...
On an FTX...

Pebbles and Bam-Bam on a Friday night
Trying to get to heaven on a paper kite
Lightning struck (BOOM) and down they fell (AHHH)
Instead of getting to heaven, they went straight to hell
Dino the dog (RUFF RUFF) was on the bone (CHOMP CHOMP)
While Fred and Barney rocked the microphone
There was nothing that Fred or Barney could do
'cept sing "Yabba daba daba daba daba daaaaaba do!"
Here we go again
Same old stuff (shit) again
Marching down the avenue
Few more days and we'll be through
I won't have to look at you
So, I'll be glad and so will you
Through the desert and across the plains
Steaming jungles and tropic rains
No mortal foe can stop me now
This is gonna be my solemn vow
I have honor and I have pride
Winning serves me as my guide
This Army shocks our enemies
Brings them crashing to their knees
Basic Training is plenty rough
To make it through you must be tough
Hey, Squad Leader, don't be blue
They're gonna make you a soldier, too
These boots were made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do
If all you're doing is markin' time
They'll walk all over you
These guns were made for shootin'
And that's just what they'll do
And if we get a mission
We'll drill a hole in you
This Army's trained for fightin'
And that's just what we'll do
If you pick a fight with us
We'll walk all over you
They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine
One jumped off the table and started marking time
Refrain: Oh, Lord I wanna
go
But they won't let me go (group ends this line with home,
stretched out over 8 paces, and a "Hey" on the right foot
to end the refrain)
They say that in the Army, the pay is mighty fine
They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine
They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine
It looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine
They say that in the Army, the biscuits are mighty fine
One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine
They say that in the Army, the meat is mighty fine
Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine
They say that in the Army, the shoes are mighty fine
You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine
They say that in the Army, the pancakes are mighty fine
You can try to chew them, but you're only wasting time
They say that in the Army, the bed's are mighty fine
But how the hell would I know, I've never slept in mine
They say that in the Army, the mail is so great
Today I got a letter dated 1948
They say that in the Army, the hours are just right
Start early in the morning and work on through the night
They say that in the Army, the buses are mighty fine
One went round the corner, and left three wheels behind
They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine
It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine
They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine
One jumped off the table and killed a friend of mine
This one doesn't follow the normal call and echo of most cadences.

I had a girl who lived on a creek
Honey, honey
I had a girl who lived on a creek
Baby, baby
I had a girl who lived on a creek
She was cute and she was sweet
I had a girl, looked good in blue
Honey, honey
I had a girl, looked good in blue
Baby, baby
I had a girl, looked good in blue
She could make a fool out of you
I'll never be in infantry
Queen of battle not for me
Chairborne, chairborne pogue I'll be
Staff platoon's the life for me.
Up in the morning, out of bed
Do some stretches, hit the head
Drink some coffee, settle down
Nothing like Columbian grounds.
From a desk I oversee
Typed reports and spilled coffee
Off to meetings I will go
Can I stay awake, Hell I don't know.
Early at night it's drizzling rain
I slip in the mud, I get a sprain
A purple heart they gave to me
What can I do for a D-S-C?
Armor and artillery
Are things I hear but never see
They frighten me and make too much noise
I'm scared of big old soldiers' toys.
Well dug in and over the hill
Is where I made and keep my still
Swilling hooch and playing cards
Is life for me and not too hard.
It's true that someday I'll be dead
With lots of gray hair on my head
It's hard to get a shot at me
Cause REMF is all I'll ever be.
We'll be here when the morning comes
Screw their minds up with our guns
We're the best that they will see
We're Airborne Ranger Infantry
Up in the morning out of bed
A long hard day now lies ahead
First sergeant says "y'all fall in"
I say to myself, "here we go again"
These boots were made for walkin
And that's just what they'll do
If all you're doing is markin' time
They'll walk all over you
These guns were made for shootin'
And that's just what they'll do
And if we get a mission
We'll drill a hole in you
This Army's trained for fightin'
And that's just what well do
If you pick a fight with us
We'll walk all over you
A yellow bird with a yellow bill
Was sitting on my window sill.
I lured him with a piece of bread
And then I stomped (stroked**) (stomp with left foot) his little head.
The doctor came to check his head,
"I'm sorry to say, the bird is dead."
** Politically Correct version
Left Right your Left
Lefty Right your Left

I left the sky in the middle of the night
I hit the deck and I'm ready to fight.
A grease gun and Kabar by my side
These are the tools that make men die.
Here We Go
On the Run
One mile,

In the middle of the night in the drizzle and rain,
I packed my chute and I ran to the plane.
Mission top secret there's a mission unknown,
We don't know if we're ever comin' home.
Stand up buckled up shuffled to the door,
Jumped right out and shout MARINE CORPS!
If my chute don't open wide.
I've got another one by my side.
If that chute don't open round.
I'll be the first one on the ground.

In the Marine Corps you will do or die.
Pin my wings upon my chest

Suzie said to me one day long ago,
Honey please don't join the Corps.
They like to do nothing but fuss and fight,
They look at women like they're high and tight.
They got poor table manners and they are so crude,
They got a board's sense of humor and they are so rude.
I said Suzie let me tell you what I'll do,
I'll join the Corps just for a year or two.
So I packed my trash and I headed for the plane,
I went to the place where they made Marines.
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Paris Island was the name of the place,
The first thing I saw was a Drill Instructors face.
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
He had razor creases and a Smoky Bear,
Mountain climbing privates everywhere
Suzie said it's me or the Corps,
I can't take this life anymore.
I looked at her with a big ol' grin,
I haven't seen Suzie since I don't know when.
Oh Yeah
Take it
I got it

I used to sit at home all day,
Letting my life waste away.
Then one day a man in blue,
Said, "Son I got a job for you,
There's travel and adventure and loads of fun,
And we'll even teach you how to shoot a gun.
There's room and board and a plate of food,
And a brand new tailored business suit.
I used to drive a Bonneville,
Now all I do is run up a hill.
I used to drive a Chevrolet,
Now all I do is sleep in the hay.
I used to drive a Cadillac,
Now all I do is hump a pack."

Box us up and ship us home.

We'll find our way to the promised land.

You won't see me till I'm ready to fight.
You'll run in the bushes you'll try to hide,
That's why you are sure to die.
You won't see me till it's too late,
A flash of my blade will be your fate.

Tarzan and Jane was swinging on a vine,
Sippin' from a bottle of Vodka double wine.
Jane lost her grip and down she fell,
When she hit the ground she let out a yell.

Sippin from a bottle of Vodka double wine.
Cheetah lost his grip and down he fell,

Got two sets of teeth and a full coat of hair.

Cause well hunt you down and eat you alive.
Slit your throat and wipe it clean,

Wear medals on our chest and feel damn proud.

So we earned the name Devil Dogs

When my granny was 91
She did PT just for fun
When my granny was 92
She did PT better than you
When my granny was 93
She did PT better than me
When my granny was 94
She did PT more and more
When my granny was 95
She did PT to stay alive
When my granny was 96
She kept on doing flutter-kicks
When my granny was 97
She up and died and went to heaven
She met St. Peter at the pearly gates
Said, "St. Peter, St. Peter, hope I'm not late"
St. Peter said with a big ol' grin
"Get down granny, and knock out ten"
She replied with a big ol' smile
"Sorry, St. Peter, I'm on profile!"
