Not PC in today's political climate but I hope those male Jarheads still sing it. It can be very motivating when you hit that 10th or 12th mile.
I know a girl all dressed in ___...
The prettiest girl I ever saw...
Well I gave her inches ___ and she said _____; put your body next to mine and drive it on down the line..." It counts up from 1 to 12 and ends with her saying, "Get your keys out to the car and drive me home, drive me home!"
Thanks to the female and LGBT integration of the infantry, we have become the kinder, gentler, PC rainbow military that liberals want us to be.
first I would like to preface this by saying: the views expressed in the cadence do not reflect my opinion of anyone or group.
Best running Cadence:
Gooks in a 50.cal pit,
baby gook sucking on mom ma's tit
Dow Chemical don't give a dam
Napalm sticks to kids.
I know not PC but pretty good to run too
Best Marching Cadence:
Oh hail oh hail oh Infantry,
Queen of battle follow me
Airborne Ranger's the life for me
For nothing in this life is free
up in the morning and outta the rack
greeted at dawn by a mortar Attack
1st sergeant rushes me of to chow
But I don't eat it anyhow
Oh hail oh hail oh Infantry....
Now in the RGR BN We ran on the perimeter road so we did not get any flack about "bad words" but when I got to the 82nd ABN DIV They did not play that chit on Arden's st. the line Co. had to run in area J if you wanted to use "bad words" :) But I did love calling Cadence
Hail O' Hail O' Infantry
Up in the morning, outta the rack
Greeted at dawn with an early attack
First Sergeant rushes me off to chow
But I dont need it anyhow
Hail O' Hail O' Infantry
Queen of battle follow me
An airborne rangers life for me
O' nothing in this world is free
From a big bird in the sky
All will jump and some will die
Off to battle we will go
To live or die, hell I dont know
Hail O' Hail O' Infantry
Queen of battle follow me
An airborne rangers life for me
O' nothing in this world is free
Early at night its drizzilin' rain
I am hit and feel no pain
But in my heart I have no fear
Because my ranger God is here
Hail O' Hail O' Infantry
Queen of battle follow me
An airborne rangers life for me
O' nothing in this world is free
The mortars and artillery
The screaming bursts around me
Jagged shrapnel on the fly
Kills my buddy, makes me cry
Hail O' Hail O' Infantry
Queen of battle follow me
An airborne rangers life for me
O' nothing in this world is free
Here is one version:
A yellow bird
witha yellow bill
sat up upon
my windowsill
i lured him in
with a piece of bread
and then i smashed
his yellow head
A little bird
with little feet
sat up upon
my toilet seat
i pused him in
and flused him down
and that little bird
went round and round
A bigger bird
with a bigger bill
sat up upon
my window sill
i lured him in
with a bigger bread
and then i smashed in
his bigger head
the doctor came
and the doctor said
that this big bird
sure aint dead
oh me oh my
I'm such a cluts
i smashed out the birds guts!
Here is another version:
A little mouse
With little feet
Was sitting on
My toilet seat
I pushed him in
And flushed him down
Then watched that mouse
Go round and round
A little puppy
With little paws
Was sitting on
My table saw
I picked him up
Like a pound of meat
And then I lopped
His little feet
A little bird
With a yellow bill
Was sitting on
My window sill
I lured him in
With a piece of bread
And then i smashed
His little head
The moral of
The story is
If you want some head
You need some bread
As an Engineer, I'm partial to Engineer related cadences
Engineer, engineer running down the road
Running so fast makes the others look old
We're running hard and we're running long
Still singing another stupid song
Build a road or cut down a tree
Or dig some graves for the Infantry
Working hard and working all day
Knocking down anything that gets in the way
I did some looking awhile back and found "C-17 Flying Over Division" and use that as a refreshing alternative to the C-130 cadence. Being as this was on Bragg, it was a big hit.
C-17 flying over Division
Don't give a damn about a weather decision
Hundred'n two troopers locked inside
Waiting for a chance to jump and die
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
My knees buckled and I hit the floor
Jumpmaster picked me up with ease
Threw my ass into the breeze
If my main don't open wide
I've got a reserve front-side
And if that one should fail me too
Listen up, I'll tell you what I'll do
Burn in, jump up, run off the DZ
Ain't no leg gonna carry me
And if you DO find yourself in the unenviable position of actually calling the C-130 cadence, here's a fun way to end it:
And if I die on the 'ol drop zone
Box me up and ship me home
On second thought, don't bring me back
Bury me with a case of Jack
Put speakers all around my head
So I can rock out to the Grateful Dead
As for my favorite....well, I don't have a specific one but anything I call....long as it gets the crowd pumped while they're running works for me.
lured him in with a piece of bread ...
They sat me down in a chair, When I looked I had no hair
Mama Mama can’t ya see? What the Navy done to me
Made me march real far. Then he passed me in his car
Mama Mama can’t ya see? What the Navy done to me
I used to drive a Chevrolet. Now I march around all day
Mama, Mama can’t you see? What the Navy done to me.
I used to drive a Cadillac. Now my seabag's on my back
