Mine is "Gimme That Good Ole Marine Corps Spirit" sung to the tune of "Gimme that ole time religion". You can get creative and sing Marine history from Tun Tavern through today.

Up Jumped the Monkey From the Coconut Grove
He was a Bad Mutha%%% you could tell by his clothes
Alligator Shoes and a Purple Vest,,,
Diamond Stickpin on his Mother&&&in' Chest..
He had a Black Cadillac with Gold on the Doors..
Sitiin' in the back he had two Monkey @@##'s
singin'
Lo Right Left
Lefty right Left
Lo right Left
Lefty Righta Lo.
Well He picked up a pack and a rifle too
Said there aint nothin' that this monkey can't do
He humped all day
and he humped all night
Found himself in a fire fight
He called in arty and he called in air
Called it so cllose that it burbed off his hair
When the going got tough he fixed his bayonet
Said you aint seen nothin' yet
The monkey started cuttin and when he was through
He was standin' in a lake full of bloody goo
Well they don't make monkeys like they used to do
The new breed of monkey well they just won't do
they go to college and they dont wanna fight
They even stay home on a saturday night....

Sorry, unprintable here just as singing Barnacle Bill the Sailor.... which springboards into the joke about the blind lumber grader. Requires good dose of cognac on the front porch for best rendition.

I've got two and I know I couldn't call them in today's environment. They are "My Girl's a Vegetable" and Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.

LTC Trent Klug - I'm pretty sure that RP would do the equivalent of making me stand with my nose in the corner, so I have to pass on sharing that knowledge.

CSM Charles Hayden Passed 7/29/2025 - Very nice!
I haven't had a chaw Mail Pouch in a long time.I also chewed Levi Garrett for a while. Made a very nice splat when it hit the ground. I preferred Apple Jack when I caught. It made it easy to spit on the umpire's shoes when they made a bad call.

LTC Trent Klug - 'Apple' was not 'right' for me. I have been researching chewing tobacco in hope of preparing a 'care' package for a 'hard corps' friend.

Not sorry, CSM Charles Hayden Passed 7/29/2025
But it does remind me of a ROTC cadet who started that one off as "I know a guy who lives on a hill...." with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. You could tell whose vocals were on auto-pilot four silly-bobbles into the response...

CSM Charles Hayden Passed 7/29/2025 I just can't imagine that would have a bad connotation to it now would it? Yeah, we had that one in the Corps too!
