Late last night, it was drizzling rain,
Lying in bed I was feeling no pain.
I heard a ringing in my head,
It was the telephone, so I jumped from my bed.
I tripped, stumbled, and said hello,
My first sergeant said it was time to go.
I got to the company, hungry as could be,
The platoon sergeant gave me an "MRE".
Chute on my back, destination unknown,
C-130 it began to groan.
Jumpmaster said now don't you know,
Stand up trooper, it's time to go.
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door,
Jump right out and count to four.
As I floated to the ground,
I began to look around.
Lights were shining up at me,
Where, oh, where could I be?
Jumpmaster, he had missed his spot,
This LZ was mighty hot.
Shake, fries and a "Big Mac" to go,
We landed at McDonalds, don't cha know
Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She'd say she wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she pushed it
She'd say she pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
Behind the door, her father kept a shotgun
She kept it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she kept it
She'd say she kept it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She kept it for her soldier who was far, far away
Around his grave she laid the pretty flowers
She laid them in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she laid them
She'd say she laid them for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She laid them for her soldier who was far, far away
Mamma and Papa were layin' in bed,
Papa rolled over and this is what he said...
Gimme some.
P.T.

We'll get up in morning with the rising sun,
We'll run all day till the day is done.

First formation it was pouring rain,
1 SG said it was time for pain.
Then he said extend to the right,
All you sick calls get out of my sight.
Spent last night out drinkin' gin,
Knew for sure I'd see it again.
Pushup, situps, run in place,
1 SG was setting a helluva pace.
High jumper, lunger, and body twist,
So many others too numerous to list.
By the time we assembled to the right,
I was praying with all my might.
1 SG spotted me in my daze,
Said where've you been the last couple of days?
Told him I spent them with my girl,
Oh, how she makes my head swirl.
1 SG said that's well and fine,
But today, hero, your ass is mine.
How many times do I have to say,
If you play the game you got to pay.
C-130 rolling down the strip
64 troopers gonna take a little trip
Mission top secret, destination unknown
And they don't give a damn if they ever come home
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four
If that main don't open wide
I've got a reserve by my side
And if that one should fail me too
Here is all that I should do
Roll over get up and run off the DZ
Cause never in HELL will ya' bury me
Hey! Hey! All the way,
We love to run every day.
If I were President and had my way,
There wouldn't be a fat man in the Army today.
Everyone would be fit to fight,
Whether you test them day or night.
When I jump onto the old drop zone,
Most of the enemy had already gone.
Those that remained weren't fit to fight,
So enemy contact was really light.
We ran the stragglers off the old drop zone,
Everything is quiet and they're all gone.
I ran towards an improved machine gun nest,
Spraying lead, I was really at my best.
The enemy tried to bob and weave,
My blood curdling screams like to made him heave.
I snatched him out of his well dug hole
And really fixed him, God bless his soul
A10 pilots flying high
A10 pilots flying by
Looking down let's have some fun
5 little commies watch them run
Air Force pilots sing their song
I just love to drop napalm
5 little commies in the grassWatch that A10 light their ass
4 Little commies down by the lake
Come on people watch them bake
3 little commies in the hut
Watch that napalm light their but
2 little commies jump in the cave
Come on napalm make their grave
1 little commie's getting hot
Watch that napalm hit the spot
A10 pilots in the sun
A10 pilots out for fun
Air Force pilots sing their song
Early one morning in the pouring rain,
First Sergeant said it was time for pain,
grab your ruck and follow me!
Its time to do some PT.
We jogged nine miles and we ran three,
The First Sergeants yelling follow me!
Then we walked two miles and ran eight!
Airborne PT sure is great!
I used to be an Airborne man,
They dropped me from a plane in Vietnam.
Lock and load your M16,
Grab your gear and follow me!
Take the safety off your gun,
Lets go have some combat fun.
Find some enemies, roamin'' around,
Take your aim and mow 'em down.
Find some N.V.A.. and capture them all,
Line them up against the wall.
Cock your Colt and line up a shot,
Squeeze the trigger and kill the lot.
Backwoods Johnny was a wrestlin' fool.
He wrestled alligators on his way toschool.
He'd stroke their bellies and throw'em in a sack,
and run off to school with a gator on his back.
Teacher seen him coming, jump on a chair.
She yelled at Johnny, "Get your gator outta here!"
Johnny replied as he took his seat,
"You better mind your manners 'cause mygator wants some meat!"
Bodies, Bleeding Bodies
Load another magazine,
in my trusty M16.
Cuz all I ever wanna see!
Is bodies, bleeding bodies.
Throw another hand grenade!Should have seen the mess I made.
Cuz all I ever wanna see,
Is bodies, broken bodies.
Stab em with the bayonet!If he squirms you're not done yet!
Cuz all I ever wanna see,
Is bodies, cut-up bodies.
Call some more TACAIR.
On that bunker over there.
Cuz all I ever wanna see,
Is bodies burnin bodies!
Hey, Hey, what do you say,
I'm goin' to the rod-e-o today.
I drew a bad bull, heard he was a bear,
But I can hang for 8, so I just don't care.
Tie up, bear down, sittin' on my bull,
I'm just waitin' for the gate to pull.
Out from the chute blows my old ride,
It's a wonder that I'm still alive.
Just right then the 8 seconds pass,
I jump right off of that bull's ass.
Quick, turn around and what do I see?
That old bull come a-chargin' at me.
I pull a cut-down 12-gauge from my hip,
And send that bull on a little trip.
I'm the meanest cowboy that you ever did see,
U.S. Army Infantry!
Mamma told Johnny not to go downtown,
Heard the Marine recruiter was hangin around.
Johnny went downtown anyways,
wanted to hear what recruiter had to say.
Recruiter asked Johnny what he wanted to be,
Johnny said, "I am wanna be infantry".
Johnny caught a plane to Vietnam,
there he fought the Viet-Cong.
Many he killed by knife and blade,
God only knows how many lives he saved.
Well Johnny was bold and Johnny was brave,
Johnny jumped on a hand grenade.
Saved the lives of the men he lead,
but before he died, this is what he said.
"Mamma O mamma please dont you cry,
The Marine Corps motto is Semper Fi!"
Irene's her name
She's one of the best.
So every night
I give her the test.
She looks so pretty.
So sleek, so slim.
The moon is bright
the lights are dim.
I've seen her stripped.
I've seen her bare,
I've felt her over everywhere.
I handled her just as gentle as I could.
And when I got in her
I knew she was good.
I rolled her over on her side
Then on her back I also tried.
She's just one big thrill
the best in the land.
She's an F-16
in the Air Combat Command.
There was a girl
called Sally Brown
Said no man
could lay her down.
Then over the hill
came perfect Pete

of swingin' meat.
He lay Sally down
in the grass
And shoved his dick
up her ass.
Sally let out
a ripper fart
Blew Pete's balls
20 feet apart.
Over that hill
went Perfect Pete's
50 pounds
of damaged meat.

There's five things that he wanted to ride
Bicycle, tricycle, automobile
An M-1 tank and a ferris wheel
Jesse James said in his final will
He had five things that he wanted to kill
A lion, a tiger, a kangaroo
A long haired hippie, and instructor too
And ifen he could kill just one
He'd kill the instructor, let the hippie run
AG, AG, who are you?
TDA with nothing to do
Go to PT at nine a.m.
Then to the pool to have a swim
Racquetball from nine to ten
Recover with a tonic and gin
Lunch from eleven to noon,

Volleyball from noon to three
Keep really busy, can't you see
Now it's four, your day is through
I wish I was AG too
Six hundred black berets
Caught in a valley by the NVA
Billy was worried, didn't know what to do
So he called on me and you
We jumped on in in the middle of the night
Looks like another bloody fire fight
I set my weapon on Rock n Roll
I boogied and woogied and continued to stroll
Killing Communists just for fun
High body count now two for one
If you got trouble in the world today
Just call on the men of the green beret!
One mile
No sweat
Two mile
Better yet
Three miles
Gotta run
Four miles
To the sun
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
Everywhere I go
There's a Drill Sergeant there
Every where I go
There's a Drill Sergeant there
Drill Sergeant
Drill Sergeant
Why don't you leave me alone
And let me go back home
When I eat my chow... (sub in for Everywhere I go)
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...

Same old stuff 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
