Another Marine

We come from San Diego
The land that god forgot
The mountains high the rivers dry
the sun was blazing hot
We pealed a million onions
And twice as many spuds
The Germans called us Devil Dogs
The name is plain Marine

When we get to heaven
Saint Peter we will tell
Another Marine reporting sir
I've served my time in Hell

And when we get to heaven
Saint Peter I will tell
Another Marine reporting sir
I've served my time in hell
Marine, Marine, Marine


- Don Swinton



When I Get to Heaven

When I get to Heaven, St. Peter's gonna say
how'd you earn your liven boy, how'd you earn your pay

And I'll reply with a whole lotta anger
I earned my liven as an Airborne Ranger
blood, guts, sex and danger.
That's the life of an Airborne Ranger

When I get to hell, that Satan's gonna say
How'd you earn your liven boy, how'd you earn you pay
And I'll reply with my fist in his face
I earned my liven putting souls to waste
That's the life of an Airborne Ranger

Get some. Gotta Have It.
A One, Two, Three, Four
That's my life and I want some more
Airborne
Ranger


- Kris Arnold



Infantry

Soldier of soldiers
so all alone.

Across the wide ocean,
so far from home.

Oh soldier of soldiers, what do you see?

A VC sniper, sighting in on me.

Oh soldier of soldiers, what you gonna do?

You kill him first, before he kills you

Oh soldier of soldiers, who are we?

The pride of the Army, THE INFANTRY!


- Robert Girard



Jodie

Your mother was there when you left, your right.
Your sister was there when you left, your right.
Your wife was there when you left, your right.
Jodie was there when you left, your right.
Count off, 1, 2, 3 4!


- Guy Jones



Airborne Ranger

Mama and papa were laying in bed
Papa rolled over this is what he said
I wanna live a life of danger
I wanna be an airborne ranger

C-130 on the taxiway
Airborne ranger gonna jump today
Hustle-up shuffle-up open the door
We're gonna jump on the count of four

If my chute don't open wide
I've got another one by my side
If that one should fail me too
Watch your ass I'm coming through

I'll splatter far I'll splatter wide
I'll splatter all over the country side
And when I get to heaven
St Peter he will say
How'd you like your living,
How'd you earn your pay,

Then I'd reply with a little bit of anger
I lived my life as an airborne ranger.
Sound off
1, 2
I can't hear you
3, 4
Turn it around and bring it on down now
4, 3, 2, 1
4 3, 2 1 Hoorah !



- Shaun



Marine Corps

After each line platoon sounds off with Marine Corps

Back in 1775
My Marine Corp came alive
First they wore the color red
to show the world the blood they shed
Next there came the color blue
to show they world that they are true
Then there was the color gold
to show the world that they are bold
Now they're wearing diggie greens
to show the world that they are mean
Urahh
Semper Fi
Motivated
Dedicated
Gung ho !


- Sheriff



Dry your tears

On these yellow boots I stand
As I learn to be a man...
Momma don't you cry no more
I've joined the U. S. Marine Corps

Thirteen weeks is not that long
To make a man grow big and strong
Cammies, Blues and BDU's
Spit shine on my new dress shoes
We will train from dusk till dawn
13 weeks is not that long

Tell you momma dry your tears
This recruit will calm your fears
Our leadership is strong today
God bless the good ole U S A

Over here or over there
Our training/skills we are aware
Eagle, Globe, and Anchor too
Our days spent here will soon be few

On grad day we'll sing this song
You'll see me now all grown and strong
Tell you momma dry your tears
This MARINE will calm your fears
OOHRAHH!

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

Around her neck She wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore it in the springtime And in the month of May.

And if you asked her Why the heck she wore it,
She'd say It's for my young Soldier Who is far, far away.

Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for her Soldier so far, far away.


Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the springtime And in the month of May.

And if you asked her Why the heck she did it,
She'd say It's for my young Soldier Who is far, far away.

Far away!
Far away!
She pushed it for her Soldier so far, far away.

Around her thigh she wore a yellow garter. . .
She wore it in the springtime And in the month of May.

And if you asked her Why the heck she wore it,
She'd say It's for my young Soldier Who is far, far away.

Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for her Soldier so far, far away.

Behind the door her daddy kept his shotgun. . .
He kept it in the springtime And in the month of May.

And if you asked her Why the heck he kept it,
He'd say It's for a young Soldier Who is far, far away.

Far away!
Far away!
He kept it for a Soldier so far, far away.

And in the church the preacher kept a license. . .
He kept it in the springtime And in the month of May.

And if you asked her Why the heck he kept it,
He'd say It's for a young Soldier Who is far, far away.

Far away!
Far away!
He kept it for a Soldier so far, far away.

Sniper

Walking through the Jungle wringing wet
One half blood and the other half sweat
I saw something moving up ahead of me

he was trying to hide in a bamboo tree
I put my cross hairs on his chest
and his sorry ass to rest

Now you can tell his momma in old Hanoi
She just lost her darling boy


- James Puswaskis



Old Airborne Cadence

I was born in the back woods, raised by a bear;
Gotta a double bone jaw and four coats of hair.
Got cast iron balls and a big steel rod;
I'm a mighty paratrooper; I'm Airborne by God.


- Spencer Edwards

mama can't you see

mama cant you see
what this corps has done too me
put me in a barbers chair
zip-zap 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 momma I did my best
but ma mama don't you cry!
marine corps motto is do or die!

Boots


These boots were made for walking'
And that's just what they'll do
If all you're doing is marking' time
They'll walk all over you

These guns were made for shooting'
And that's just what they'll do
And if we get a mission
We'll drill a hole in you

This Army's trained for fighting'
And that's just what we'll do
If you pick a fight with us
We'll walk all over you!
