Army Cadences

They Say that in the Army

(Army Marching Cadence)

 

They say that in the Army the coffee's mighty fine
It looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!

They say that in the Army the chow is mighty fine
a chicken jumped off the table and started marking time
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!

They say that in the Army the biscuits are mighty fine
one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!

They say that in the Army the training's might fine
last night there were ten of us, now there's only nine
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!

They say that in the Army the pay is mighty fine
they give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH

 

We are Marching By

(Army Marching Cadence)

 

Let 'em blow let 'em blow
Let the four winds blow
Let 'em blow from east to west
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

 

Tiny Bubbles

(Army Marching Cadence)

 

Tiny bubbles
In my beer
Makes me happy
And full of cheer

Tiny bubbles
In my wine
Makes me happy
All the time

My rifle, my rucksack, my bayonet, now get on down

Bravo on the GO

(Army Marching Cadence)

 

Marching down in the valley I heard a loud roar
It was a bravo trooper treating alpha like a toy
So put your feet on the peddle step down on the gas
Move over awful alpha let the mighty bravo pass

BRAVO COMPANY IS ON THE GO

Way down in the valley I heard a loud roar
It was a smooth bravo trooper treating Charlie like a toy
So put your feet on the peddle step down on the gas
Move over chicken Charlie let the mighty bravo pass

BRAVO COMPANY IS ON THE GO

Way down in the valley I heard a loud roar
It was a cool bravo trooper treating delta like a toy
So put your feet on the peddle step down on the gas
Move over dizzy delta let the mighty bravo pass

BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Momma Momma I

(Army Running Cadence)

 

Mama mama can't you see,
what the army's done to me.

They put me in a barber's chair,
spun me around I had no hair.

Mama mama can't you see,
what the army's done to me.

They took away my favorite jeans,
now I'm wearing army greens.

Mama mama can't you see,
what the army's done to me.

I use to date beauty queens,
now I love my M16.

Mama mama can't you see,
what the army's done to me.

I use to drive a Cadillac,
now I carry one on my back.

 

Somewhere there is a Mother

(Army Marching Cadence)

 

Some where there's a mother
She's crying for her boy
He's and Airborne Ranger
With his orders to deploy
Don't you cry for him
He don't need your sympathy
He's an airborne ranger
That's the best that you can be

Some where there's a father
He's crying for his son
Son's an airborne ranger
With a war to be won
Don't you cry for him
He don't need you sympathy
He's an airborne ranger 

That's the best that you can be

Some where there's a sister
She's crying for her bro
Bro's an airborne ranger
That's the only way to go
Don't you cry for him
He don't need your sympathy
He's an airborne ranger
That's the best that you can be

Some where there's a daughter
Shes crying for her dad
Dad was an airborne ranger
Now he's just a folded flag
Don't you cry for him
He wouldn't want your sympathy
He was an airborne ranger 

That's the best that you could be
