Marching & Running Cadences

[PaidinBlood]

I
Going to town to kill the people,
Dropping napalm on a square.
Tossing out that government candy, all the children gather round.
Loaded up my M240, mowed them little f***ers down.
That ones probably restricted to say lol.

I know a lot of sick fvcks but that is more of a pog song. I wasn't there that day but when it happens it will never be funny ever again. A souk full of people will end in a bad day for all concerned. Semper Fi and keep havin fun. Don't let my ramblings get you down.

Good thread.
Wish I could remember some but I can't. We use to sing about killing Charlie and screwing his wife and killing his babies but I don't remember the words.

Mama, mama can't you see?
What this Corps has done for me.
Put me in a barber's chair,
snip, snap, and I have no hair.
And if I die in a combat zone,
box me up and ship me home.
And if I'm sent to the Promised Land,
at least I died in Afghanistan.
Put me in a set of Dress Blues,
cut my hair and shine my shoes.
Pin my medals upon my chest,
tell my woman that I did my best.
But mama, mama, don't you cry,
The Marine Corps' motto is 'do or die!'

On a bright and sunny day,
two good friends went out to play.
They gathered all their money,
and bought a jar of honey.
But the fat one ate it all,
and made the little one low crawl.

Yogi Bear is dead,
Boo-boo shot him in the head.
Yogi Bear is dead,
Boo-boo pumped him full of lead.

Ranger Rick was on the hill,
he saw Boo-boo get the kill.
Now the Rangers on the run,
cuz the little ones got a gun.

Ranger Rick is dead,
Boo-boo shot him in the head.
Ranger Rick is dead,
Boo-boo pumped him full of lead.

*please understand that this is intended as a marching cadence*

The prettiest girl,
I ever saw,
was sipping bourbon,
through a straw.
Was sipping bourbon [clap] through a straw.

I walked right up,
and placed my hand,
upon her knee.
She said, "Marine!
you're teasin' me!"
She said,' Marine! [clap] you're teasin' me!"

So I walked right up,
and placed my hand,
upon her thigh.
She said, "Marine!
That's way too high!"
She said, "Marine! [clap] That's way too high!"

And now I have,
a mother-in-law,
plus fourteen kids,
who call me Pa.
And fourteen kids [clap] who call me Pa.

The moral of,
the storys clear,
instead of bourbon,
stick to beer!
Instead of bourbon [clap] stick to beer!

*please understand that this is intended as a sing-song marching cadence*

In, her hair, she wore a yellow ribbon.
She wore it in the spring-time and the early month of May.
And if, you asked, her why the h*** she wore it,
she wore it for that young Marine so far-far away.
Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for that young Marine so far-far away.

On, her hand, she wore a diamond ring.
She wore it in the spring-time and the early month of May.
And if, you asked, her why the h*** she wore,
she wore it for that young Marine so far-far away.
Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for that young Marine so far-far away.

Around, the block, she pushed a baby carriage.
She pushed it in the spring-time and the early month of May.
And if, you asked, her why the h*** she pushed it,
she pushed it for that young Marine so far-far away.
Far away!
Far away!
She pushed it for that young Marine so far-far away.

Behind, the door, her daddy kept a shot-gun.
He kept it in the spring-time and the early month of may.
And if, you asked, him why the f*ck he kept it,
he kept it for that young Marine to blow his a** away!
Far away!
Far away!
He kept it for that young Marine to blow his a** away!

Everywhere we go,
people wanna know,
who we are,
and where we come from.
So we tell them,
"We come from an Island,
a motivated Island.
We call that Island,
Parris Island.
We call that Island,
a motivated Island.
It ain't like the Army,
at Fort Jackson.
It ain't like the Navy,
down in Florida.
It ain't no flyboy,
over in Texas."

Everywhere we go,
people wanna know,
who we are,
and where we come from.
So we tell them,
"We come from a Depot,
a motivated Depot.
We call that Depot,
San Diego.
We call that Depot,
a motivated Depot.
It ain't like the Army,
at Fort Jackson.
It ain't like the Navy,
down in Florida.
It ain't no flyboy,
over in Texas."

*Note: after each line sung by cadence-caller, formation responds with "Drip Drop, Drippity Drop Drop"*

My roofs got a leak, the rains drippin' onto my head.
Well my roofs got a leak, the rains drippin' onto my head.
Well its drippin' so hard, I might as well be dead.
My roofs got a leak, the rains drippin' onto my back.
Well my roofs got a leak, the rains drippin' onto my back.
Well its drippin' so hard, it's givin' me a heart-attack.

We had em a little simpler way back when,,,,,

I know a gal all dressed in black
Makes a living on her back.

I know a gal all dressed in red,
Makes her living laying in bed.

I was born one summer day
One winter night
On Parris Island South Carolina
Where the sun is mighty hot
Where's the land that God forgot
Where's the sand that's mighty deep
Oh yea...
Parris Island South Carolina
Oh yea...
Makes you lean
Makes you mean
Oh yea...
The green machine
Fightin' machine
Here we are
Runnin hard
Workin hard
Trainin' hard
Oh yea...

[Marine726]

It's a great motivator having DIs in your ear telling you to keep running.

How many times do we have to tell you Pool(ee)s to stop calling them DIs. You have not earned that right yet... They are Drill Instructor to you. Take note as such and do not forget. Plus do not get in that habit. So when you ship out you get there and say... "This recruit did not understand the DI sir!!"

[JWDevilDog]

*Note: The way we do this cadence, the cadence caller sings the whole cadence, and then the formation repeats the whole cadence. But it can be done in the usual, line by line, way, of course*

Grungy, Grungy, Grungy.
Blooooood and Guts.
You can fuuuuu*k with the Army,
But you caaaan't fuuuu*k with us.

[Crusader20]

Here is one that was made to not make sense. It was fun to sing, though

Listen to my story about two dead boys
Who went outside to make some noise

Back to Back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other

The deaf policeman heard the noise
And went to kill the two dead boys

If you think my story is true
Ask the blind lady, she saw it too

Get some Gunny!

[Alisium]

To the "If I die in a combat zone..." tune.

If I die on the Russian front
lay me down with a Russian cu*t!

If I die in a Chinese war
burry me with a Chinese *****!

That's it, just two little ditties.
