I have a division run coming up and I am one of about 3 NCOS that call cadence. I know about 7 cadences and could use some help with new ones.

Up in the morning before day
I don't like it-no way
I eat my breakfast too damn soon
Hungry as tiger by noon

I went to the mess SGT on my knees.
Mess SGT mess SGT feed me please.
Mess SGT said with a big old grin.
If you wanna be __Air Assault__
You've got to be thin

'Cause I'm hardcore...
Lean and mean...
Fit to fight...
Outta sight!

One mile
No sweat
Two miles
Better yet

Three miles
I can make it
Four miles
You can make it

'Cause I'm hardcore
Lean and mean
On the scene
ARMY green

my favorite cadence:

What The Army Has Done To Me

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me
Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me

They took away my faded jeans
Now I'm wearing Army greens
They took away my faded jeans
Now I'm wearing Army greens

Chorus:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go

Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me
Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me

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

Chorus:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go

Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me
Momma, momma, can't you see

what the Army's done to me
I used to drive a Cadillac
Now I hump it on my back
I used to drive a Cadillac
Now I hump it on my back

Chorus:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go

Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me
Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me

I used to date a beauty queen
Now I hug my M-16
I used to date a beauty queen
Now I hug my M-16

Chorus:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go

Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me
Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me

I used to drive a Chevrolet
Now I'm walking all the way
I used to drive a Chevrolet
Now I'm walking all the way

Chorus:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go

Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me
Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go

We only sang a verse or two of this when I was at Ft. "McMuffin" AL, never heard more than that. Several years ago I decided to write an ending to it. Cadence-caller first line, group following line

A yellow bird
a yellow bird
With a yellow bill
with a yellow bill
Was perched upon
was perched upon
My windowsill
my window sill
A yellow bird
a yellow bird
With a yellow bill
with a yellow bill, was perched upon my, window sill.

I lured him in
I lured him in
With crumbs of bread
with crumbs of bread
And then I smashed
and then I smashed
His little head
his little head
I lured him in
I lured him in
With crumbs of bread
with crumbs of bread, and then I smashed his, little head

I ground his bones
I ground his bones
When he was dead
when he was dead
I cooked me up
I cooked me up
Some yellow bread
some yellow bread
I ground his bones
I ground his bones
When he was dead
when he was dead, I cooked me up some, yellow bread

A bigger bird
a bigger bird
With a bigger bill
with a bigger bill
Came sat upon
came sat upon
My windowsill
my window sill
A bigger bird
a bigger bird
With a bigger bill
with a bigger bill, came sat upon my, window sill


I lured big bird
I lured big bird
With chunks of bread
with chunks of bread
And then I smashed
and then I smashed
That big bird’s head
that big bird’s head
I lured big bird
I lured big bird
With chunks of bread
with chunks of bread, and then I smashed that, big bird’s head

I ate my fill
I ate my fill
Of yellow birds
of yellow birds
And then I passed
and then I passed
Some yellow turds
some yellow turds
I ate my fill
I ate my fill
Of yellow birds
of yellow birds, and then I passed some, yellow turds

Next morning when
next morning when
I went to pee
I went to pee
Some yellow whiz
some yellow whiz
Came out of me
came out of me
Next morning when
next morning when
I went to pee
I went to pee, some yellow whiz came, out of me


The moral of
the moral of
This story’s true
this story’s true
Eat yellow birds
eat yellow birds
Make yellow doo
make yellow doo.
The moral of
the moral of
The story’s this
the story’s this; eat yellow birds make, yellow whiz!

When my granny was ninety-one
She did PT just for fun
When my granny was ninety-two
She could PT better than you
When my granny was ninety-three
She did PT better than me
When my granny was ninety-four
She ran 3 miles then ran 3 more
When my granny was ninety-five
She did PT to stay alive
When my granny was ninety-six
She did PT just for kicks
When my granny was ninety-seven
She did PT up in heaven

I went to the desert
Where all the terrorists run
I pulled out my machete
and I had a little fun!

Left, right, left, right, left right kill!
You mess with us and you know we will!

I went to the caves
Where all the terrorists hide
I pulled out a grenade
and I threw it inside!

Left, right, left, right, left right, kill!
You mess with us and you know we will!

When that left foot hits the ground
All I want to hear is that "WOOP!" sound

Woop
Shewalla walla
Woop
She bang-bang
Woop
Shewalla walla
Woop


Woop
Now here we go
Woop
Now down the street
Woop
Now battery
Woop
You got that beat

Woop
Shewalla walla
Woop
She bang-bang
Woop
Shewalla walla
Woop
