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

drill; That's the first one.

Ok. Here's one more for the night and then I've got to get some rest.

They told me that in the army, the coffee is mighty fine
Looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine

O lord I wanna go, o lord I gotta go
Hoooooooooommmmmme, HOME!

They say that in the army the chicken is mighty fine
one jumped off the table and started marking time

O lord I wanna go, o lord I gotta go
Hoooooooooommmmmme, HOME!

They say that in the army the bisquits are mighty fine
one rolled off the table and killed a buddy of mine

O lord I wanna go, o lord I gotta go
Hoooooooooommmmmme, HOME!

They say that in the army the women are mighty fine
Talk like Phyllis Diller and walk like Frankenstein

O lord I wanna go, o lord I gotta go
Hoooooooooommmmmme, HOME!

They say that in the army the pay is mighty fine
Give you a hundred dollar and take back ninety-nine!

O lord I wanna go, o lord I gotta go
Hoooooooooommmmmme, HOME!

Well that's it for tonight. drill;

THE AIRBORNE SHUFFLE

HERE WE GO,
ALL THE WAY,
AIRBORNE! AIRBORNE!

I wanna be an Airborne Ranger,
Livin' on Blood and Guts and Danger.

HERE WE GO,
ALL THE WAY,
AIRBORNE! AIRBORNE!

I don't know, but I think I might,
Jump from an airplane while in flight.

HERE WE GO,
ALL THE WAY,
AIRBORNE! AIRBORNE!

Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door,
Jump right out and count to four.

HERE WE GO,
ALL THE WAY,
AIRBORNE! AIRBORNE!

If my 'chute don't open wide,
I'll be a spot on the countryside.

HERE WE GO,
ALL THE WAY,
AIRBORNE! AIRBORNE!

If I die in a combat zone,
Box me up and send me home.

HERE WE GO,
ALL THE WAY,
AIRBORNE! AIRBORNE!

Pin my wings upon my chest,
Tell my girl I fought my best.

HERE WE GO,
ALL THE WAY,
AIRBORNE! AIRBORNE!

WE ARE THE AIRBORNE!
MIGHTY, MIGHTY AIRBORNE!

Andy, The Airborne Shuffle is a cadence sang while doing a Double Time March. It really is a shuffle, of sorts, done in formation. Kind of an easy jog.

What are you doing up so early, Bud? Or haven't you been to bed yet, you Party Animal?

Bombardier

22-05-04, 07:07

Bombardier

YELLOW RIBBON
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

We'll run all day till the day is done.

FIRST FORMATION
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. :D

DOUBLE-TIME......ANYTIME......MARCH!
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 :D

ALL THE WAY
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

A-10 Pilots
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

Airborne PT
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!

An Airborne Man
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. :D

Backwoods Johnny
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! :D

The Cowboy
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!

Johnny
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
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.

Eat my breakfast too damn soon

JESSE JAMES
Jesse James said before he died
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

BLACK BERETS
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!

Okay, you Yanks...dig back through your memory and see if you can remember some of the "JODIE" chants.

Don't know if the Brits are familiar with Jodie. Jodie is "generic" name of the civilian guy back home that's partying, drinking, and getting all the girls while you're doing your time in the service. The Jodie chants are the same rythm as the "Sound off (one, two!)" chants.

Ain't no use in goin' home,
(Ain't no use in goin' home)
Jodie done got your girl and gone
(Jodie done got your girl and gone)
Sound off (one, two)
Sound off (three, four)
Break it on down now
One, two, three, four, one, two...three, four!

Always heard this verse before the one you posted:

Your baby was home when you left.
You're right!
Jody was home when you left.
You're right!
Don't you worry and don't you moan
He'll keep her happy till you get home.

Good one, Doc!

The cadence I posted was from the Vietnam era.

The cadence YOU posted dates way back to World War Two:

You had a good home when you left
You're right
Your mamma was there when you left
You're right
Your papa was there when you left
You're right
Jodie was there when you left
You're right

Sound off (one, two)
Sound off (three, four)
Cadence count!
One, two, three, four, one, two...three, four!

This was a WW I song. The ‘Eff’ word was changed to ‘Bless’ so that the song could be sung in public houses.

Eff ‘em all, eff ‘em all,
The long and the short and the tall;
Eff all the sergeants and W.O. ones,
Eff all the corporals and their bastard sons
For we’re saying goodbye to ‘em all,
As back to our billets we crawl.
You’ll get no promotion this side of the Ocean
So cheer up, my lads, eff ‘em all.

I have a few more but they are a bit bawdy

The Quartermaster’s Stores

There was Andy, Andy, feeling randy dandy,
In the stores, in the stores.
There was Andy, Andy feeling randy dandy,
In the quartermaster’s stores.

Chorus;
My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I have not got my specs with me,
I have not got my specs with me.

There was Cox Cox, catching a powerful pox,
In the stores, in the stores
There was Gox Cox catching a powerful pox,
In the quartermaster’s stores.

Chorus
-
There was Ellen, Ellen, finding seventh heaven,
In the stores, in the stores.
there was Ellen, Ellen, finding seventh heaven,
In the quartermaster’s stores.

Chorus

There was Ike Ike, playing with his spike,
In the stores, in the stores.
There was Ike, Ike, playing with his spike,
In the quartermaster’s stores.

Chorus

There was Jock, Jock, going knock, knock,
In the stores, in the stores.
There was Jock, Jock, going knock, knock,
In the quartermaster’s stores.

Chorus

There were pros, pros, in orgasmic throes,
In the stores, in the stores,
There were pros, pros, in orgasmic throes,
In the quartermaster’s stores.

Chorus

There was Lill Lill lusting for a thrill
In the stores, in ihe stores.
Thcre was Lill, Lill lusting for a thrill
In the quartermaster’s stores.

And so it went on for as many verses as you wanted.

Walkin' down canal street
knocking on every do-or

i cud' nay find a hore.
Finally found a hore'
She was tall and thin

Finally got it in

Finally got it out
it was red and sore

As she lay between the lilly white sheets with nothing on at all

Oh Sir Jasper Do x 3
As she lay between the lilly white sheets with nothing on at all

For the record, I believe that Jodies originally came from that unique U.S. institution, the prisoner chain gang. "Jodie" came from "Joe dee man" (Joe the man) who was going to get your girl back home.

When I get to [Moscow] [Putin]s gonna say-ay,
How did you get here,
In just one day-ay?

I shall reply with a little bit of anger,
"I made my way as an Airborne Ranger."

When I get to [Iraq] [Al Quaeda]s gonna say-ay,
How did you get here,
In just one day-ay?

I shall reply with a whole lotta anger,
"I made my way was an Airborne Ranger."

etc., filling in hot spots and villains.

Here's a link to the lyrics of 'Blood on the Risers', which featured in 'Band of Brothers'. You can also listen to it being sung by the West Point Glee Club and there are quite a few others to listen to.
