Do any of you Marines know any good marching cadences? I need to memorize some (I know a lot of good Navy ones but they're all overused). Thanks for serving.

As for my two favorites;

Hey there Army,
Get in your tanks and follow me.
I am the Marine Corps Infantry.
Hey there Navy,
Get in your ships and follow me.
I am the Marine Corps Infantry.
Hey there Air Force,
Get in your planes and follow me.
I am the Marine Corps Infantry.
Hey there civilians,
Get off your butts and follow me.
I am the Marine Corps Infantry.


Out in the sky in the middle of the night,
We hit the deck and we're ready to fight.
We got a grease gun and kbar by my side,
These are the tools that make men die.
Up from the submarine, 50 feet below,
Hit the surface and we're ready to go.
We're gonna backstroke, sidestroke, swim for the shore,
We're gonna hit the beach and we're ready for war!
Yo lo right, layo; a lefty right layo
Yo lo right, layo; a lefty right layo

Thanks a bunch, sir. Yeah that first one is one of the "overused" ones. At least in the Sea Cadet Corps when we drill. But the second, I've never heard that one before. Thanks again, sir.
