"Down by the river" was my 1SG's favorite cadence when we came back from Iraq the first time. He just to change the lyrics to "...down by the Tigris..." making it sound awesome!
My Favorite to sing:
Oh lawdy, lawdy lawdy
Oh lawdy, lawdy lye
Up in the morinig at a quarter to fi-ve
First Seargeant talkin all his Jive
Got all the NCOs all around his de-sk
Got the BC in the leaning rest
Thinking oh lawdy, lawdy lawdy
Oh lawdy, lawdy lye
C130 rollin down the str-ip
...
...
jump right out and ...
Praying Oh lawdy, lawdy lawdy
Oh lawdy, lawdy lye
If my shoot.......
........
......
Look out below ......
Screaming Oh lawdy, lawdy lawdy
Oh lawdy, lawdy lye
(just a nice variation of C130)
Both running
LITTLE RED WAGON (the cadence caller has to be extreemly motivated)
"You can't ride in my Little Red Wagon"
"Because the back seats broke and the axels dragin"
"Next Verse, Same as the First"
"Except a little bit louder(or quiter), and a whole lot worse"
Now the cadence caller brings ups the volume and motivation, sometimes I get to a point where it sounds almost like a goth singer is leading the formation, and you can repeat this over and over as long as you have the energy and voice for it. If i have the formation quiet down I will take it down to a wisper eventually.
