Band of Brothers

Posted Monday, January 23, 2006
Above the land,
Across the sea,
We're everywhere,
We need to be.
We're brothers of,
A special kind,
A better band,
You'll never find.
Band of brothers,
That's what we are,
Fighting evil,
Near and far.
Band of brothers,
That's what I said,
Baptized by fire,
Scarred by lead.
We're lean and mean,
And fit to fight,
Anywhere,
Day or night.
When bullets fly,
And rockets fall,
We'll stand our ground,
And give our all.
We're on the move,
We're on the march,
We're digging' ditches,
And breaking' starch.
When you hear,
Our battle cry,
You better move,
And step aside.
Band of brothers,
That's what we said,
Mess with us,
We'll shoot you dead.
Band of brothers,
Trained to kill,
If we don't getcha,
Our sisters will.

Navy Seals

Through the night and through the day
Rangers always lead the way.

Come evening morning noon or night
Marines are always the first to fight.

By the time the air force puts up their wheels.
The Job is done by Navy seals !

C-130 (Navy Seal)

C-130 Rollin down the strip
US Navy Seals gonna take a little trip
Mission top secret
Destination unknown
We don't give a damn if we ever get home
Just when it seems the flight will never end
The light turns green and the jump begins
Stand up buckle up shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four
If I die in a combat zone
Box me up and ship me home
Put my fins on my chest
And bury me in the leaning rest
Tell my girlfriend not to cry
Because the navy way is to do or die!

Men At War

(repeat each line)

Hot Situation
That started in Iraq
And when the damn Al-Qaeda
Decided to Attack

(the next part is sang as one long bar by the runners)
Men at war-oooooor
Men at war-oooooor
Late at night when your sleeping Navy Seals come a creeping
All around-ooooound, A creeping all around, HEY

We came to get their leader
We found him in the rear
His eyes were full of wonder
His heart was full of fear

Men at war-oooooor
Men at war-oooooor
Late at night when your sleeping Navy Seals come a creeping
All around-ooooound, A creeping all around, HEY

They came to claim their wounded
They came to get their dead
And they heard the helos coming
And circling overhead

Men at war-oooooor
Men at war-oooooor
Late at night when your sleeping Navy Seals come a creeping
All around-ooooound, A creeping all around, HEY

The bullets tore right through them
The choppers killed them well
And sent those damn Al-Qaeda
Screaming down to hell

Men at war-oooooor
Men at war-oooooor
Late at night when your sleeping Navy Seals come a creeping
All around-ooooound, A creeping all around, HEY !

All of the Ladies

If all of the ladies
Were holes in the road
And I were a dump truck
I'd fill 'em with my load

Singing' hey bobarebob
Hey boogie Woogie
Hey bobarebob
Hey boogie woogie woogie hey boogie woogie

If all of the ladies
were pies on a shelf
and I were a baker
I'd fill 'em all myself

Singing' hey bobarebob
Hey boogie Woogie
Hey bobarebob
Hey boogie woogie woogie hey boogie woogie

If all of the ladies
Were Bricks in a pile
and I were a Mason
I'd lay 'em all with style

Singing' hey bobarebob
Hey boogie Woogie
Hey bobarebob
Hey boogie woogie woogie hey boogie woogie

If all of the ladies
Were bells in a tower
And I were a Quire boy
I'd bang 'em every hour

Singing' hey bobarebob
Hey boogie Woogie
Hey bobarebob
Hey boogie woogie woogie hey boogie woogie

If all of the ladies
Showed me what's down there
And I were in the Navy
I wouldn't even care

Singing' hey bobarebob
Hey boogie Woogie
Hey bobarebob
Hey boogie woogie woogie hey boogie woogie

(My dad always through in that last bit, not sure if it's actually used by anybody but I like it. During the chorus part, only the person sounding off says the singing' part.)

Get in your jets and follow me

In The Early Morning Rain

Got a letter in the mail,
Go to war or go to jail,
Got a letter in the ma-a-a-ail
In the early morning rain

I packed my bags I kissed my wife,
Headed for the Army life,
I packed my bags I kissed my wi-I-I-ife,
In the early morning rain,

Told my Daughter not to cry,
But I had tears in my eyes,
Told my daughter not to cry-y-y-y
In the early morning rain,

With this weapon in my hand,
And a pocket full of sand,
With this weapon in my ha-a-a-and,
In the early morning rain,

Got the enemy to my front,
And the ocean to my rear,
Wounded dying's all I he-e-e-e-ear,
In the early morning rain,

As I lay here to rest,
Caught a bullet to the chest,
Even though I did my be-e-e-est,
In the early morning rain,

Tell my darling not to cry,
Cuz I'll never say goodbye,
Tell my darling not to cry-y-y-y,
In the early morning rain,

Many a soldier will die today,
Guess there's nothing left to say,
So our children they may play-y-y-y,
In the early morning rain,

Yes now sergeant I can see,
Why this trainings good for me,
Forever more we will be free-e-e-e,
In the early morning rain

My Granny

When my granny was 91, she did PT just for fun.
When my granny was 92, she did PT better than you!
When my granny was 93, she did PT better than me!
When my granny was 94, she did PT on the floor!
When my granny was 95, she did PT to stay alive.
When my granny was 96, she did PT on the River Styx.
When my granny was 97, she did PT going to Heaven.
When my granny was 98,she did PT at the pearly gates.
When my granny was 99, she kicked my ass when I said she looked fine!

Cadets Respect to Armed Forces

(This Cadence is put into a Cadence Song, sing it, don't say it)

Mama mama can't you see,
What the corps has done for me.

They put me in a barber's chair,
Snip Snap and I had no hair.

And If I die in a combat zone,
Box me up and ship me home.

Put me in a set of Dress Blues,
Comb my hair and shine my shoes.

Pin my medals upon my chest,
Tell my mama I did my best.

But Mama, mama don't you cry,
The Marine Corps motto is do or die!

A Left Right Layo,
A Left Right Layo,
A Low Right Layo,
A Lefty Righta Low.

Airborne soldier in the sky,
Jump Master said we're jumping 2night.

We took some fire coming in,
A Boom Crack and I lost my friend.

Some sea sick Rangers at the beach,
Landed June 6 and took some heat.

Sea turned red, we heard the moans,
Hold a little longer were gonna take this zone.

Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, Marine,
We cadets know what you mean.

You serve our country strong and true,
We all stand for Red, White, and Blue!

A Left Right Layo,
A Left Right Layo,
A Low Right Layo,
A Lefty Righta Low!

One Bright Day

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys rose to fight.

Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.

A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came and killed those two dead boys.

If you don't believe my story is true,
The blind man saw the whole thing too.


- PO3 Warner USNSCC
