Army Cadences

Momma Momma I (Army Running Cadence)      mama mama can't you see,  what the army's done to me.  They put me in a barber's chair,  spun me around I had no hair.  Mama mama can't you see,  what the army's done to me.  They took away my favorite jeans,  now I'm wearing army greens.  Mama mama can't you see,  what the army's done to me.  I use to date beauty queens,  now I love my M16.  Mama mama can't you see,  what the army's done to me.  I use to drive a Cadalliac,  now I carry one on my back.             Somewhere there is a Mother (Army Marching Cadence)     Some where theres a mother  She's crying for her boy  He's and Airborne Ranger  With his orders to deploy  Don't you cry for him  He don't need your sympathy  He's an airborne ranger  Thats the best that you can be  Some where theres a father  He's crying for his son  Son's an airborne ranger  With a war to be won  Don't you cry for him  He don't need you sympathy  He's an airborne ranger  Thats the best that you can be  Some where there's a sister  She's crying for her bro  Bro's an airborne ranger  Thats the only way to go  Don't you cry for him  He don't need your sympothy  He's an airborne ranger  Thats the best that you can be  Some where theres a daughter  Shes crying for her dad  Dad was an airborne ranger  Now he's just a folded flag  Don't you cry for him  He wouldn't want your sympathy  He was an airborne ranger  Thats the best that you could be                     YELLOW RIBBON (Army Marching Cadence)     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           Join the Army (Marching Cadence)   I don't know why I left  But I must've done wrong  Refrain: And it won't be long  'Till I get on back home  Got a letter in the mail  Go to war or go to jail  Sat me in that barber's chair  Spun me around, I had no hair  Used to drive a Cadillac  Now I pack it on my back  Used to drive a limousine  Now I'm wearing Army green  Dress it right and cover down  Forty inches all around  Nine to the front and six to the rear  That's the way we do it here  Used to date a beauty queen  Now I date my M-16  Ain't no use in lookin' down  Ain't no discharge on the ground  Ain't no use in going back  Jody's got your Cadillac  Ain't no use in calling home  Jody's got your girl and gone  Ain't no use in feeling blue  Jody's got your sister too  Took away my faded jeans  Now I'm wearing Army greens  They took away my gin and rum  Now I'm up before the sun  Mama Mama can't you see  What this Army's done for me  Mama Mama can't you see  This Army life is killing me               Unit Songs (Army Marching Cadence)     Eighty-second All-American  Pick up your 'chutes and follow me  I'm the airborne infantry  One-oh-one  Screaming eagles  Pick up your ropes and follow me  I'm the air assault infantry  Twenty-fifth  Tropic lightning  Pick up your rucks and follow me  I'm the light infantry  First division  Big red one  Jump on your tracks and follow me  I'm the mechanized infantry  Seventy-fifth  Black beret  Pick up

me  I'm the wanna-be infantry             They Say that In the Army (Army Marching Cadence)     They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine  One jumped off the table and started marking time  Refrain: Oh, Lord I wanna go  But they won't let me go  (group ends this line with home,  stretched out over 8 paces, and a "Hey" on the right foot  to end the refrain)  They say that in the Army, the pay is mighty fine  They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine  They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine  It looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine  They say that in the Army, the biscuits are mighty fine  One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine  They say that in the Army, the meat is mighty fine  Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine  They say that in the Army, the shoes are mighty fine  You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine  They say that in the Army, the pancakes are mighty fine  You can try to chew them, but you're only wasting time  They say that in the Army, the bed's are mighty fine  But how the hell would I know, I've never slept in mine  They say that in the Army, the mail is so great  Today I got a letter dated 1948  They say that in the Army, the hours are just right  Start early in the morning and work on through the night  They say that in the Army, the buses are mighty fine  One went round the corner, and left three wheels behind  They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine  It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine  They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine  One jumped off the table and killed a friend of mine  They say that in the army, the toilets are mighty fine  You flush them up at seven, they come back up at nine.  They say that in the army, the tents are waterproof  You wake up in the morning and you're floating on the roof.             You get a line….
