Marching & Running Cadences

[naclyknine]

Rat S#*t, Bat S#*t, dirty nasty tw@t
Sixty-nine A##holes tied in a knot
Eat, fight, f*ck, suck, nibble, gobble, chew,
We are the Marine Corps,
Who the f#ck are you?

[seandayley]

I need a beer.
An ice cold beer.

I need a beer.
An ice cold beer.

How's your favorite company.
Anheuser-Busch!!!


Repeat as desired

Semper Fi

[JAMarine]

Uncalled for.


Just my opinion.

sang this in my motto run

dont let the green grass fool ya
dont let it change your mind

just repeat that a million times and youre motivated

I thought this one up myself while I was running on the PFT course, about a half mile in to a 3 mile run:

C-130, on the taxiway
Lance Corporal Hartwig ain't flying today,
I sit on my a$$ in the navigation shop
Hope that I am on the next hop.

Okay, it's only funny if you're a me or one of my buddies here in the nav shop.

The thing that really motivated me at boot was when the DI called for delayed cadence, though. That took the exhaustion right out of me.

Here's one I learned from Gunny Gallagher in A 1/5 (salty old b******, I miss him)

left right left right left right kill
walk into the market
where all the people shop
whip my machete
and I began to chop

left right left right left right kill
stroll into the bank
where people get their cash
pull out my k-bar
and I began to slash

left right left right left right kill
step onto the playground
where all the kiddies play
load up my Uzi
and I began to spray

Not very PC, but not much a crusty Gunny says is.

I think... everyone's sang that one. Some instructors make it seem unique to them, though.

Another version of that we sang at NBC school.


dont let....the green gas fool you
dont forget...to don and clear

[drillinstructor]

pretty good ones

[FullMetalJacket]

drillinstructor, would you happen to have any cadences, Sir?

[Debate_god21]

He's gonna know plenty of them...

Sarah: Here's something we sang in Boot Camp in "the old days".

"You can tell a girl in the Marines,
You can tell her by her walk:
You can tell a girl in the Marines, you can tell her by her talk;
You can tell her by her attitude, and her interest and such;
You can tell a girl in the Marines, BUT YOU CAN NOT TELL HER MUCH!

This is probably easier on those tender ears of young, female boots. Semper Fi

Cadence was great. But, when the platoon was not performing with dedication and motivation, "Oh, so you ladies don't want to motivate me, fine...Left Foot...Left Foot...Left Foot...Left Foot...Left Foot...

Which gave our brains plenty of room to think about how much our feet and legs hurt, and how little air our lungs were passing on to the rest of our system.

recent one from PI :
The prettiest girl
the prettiest girl
I ever saw
i ever saw
Was sippin bouron
was sippin bourbon
Through a straw
through a straw
I walked right up
i walked right up
and sat rght down
and sat right down
and bought that girl
and bought that girl
another round
another round
i took her home
i took her home
and laid her down
her long blonde hair
laid all around
i pushed it in
and pulled it out
it felt so good
i had to shout
and now i have
a mother in law
and 14 kids who call me pa
the moral of
the story is clear
instead of bourbon, stick to beer!

and also
People say were crazy for the crazy things wwe do but were the men from 98 so who the f*ck are you"?
PT PT everyday build my body the Marine Corps way
up int eh morning with teh Carolina sun gonna run al day till the runnins done

[eicyak]

Little Yellow birdie with a little yellow bill
Landed on my window sill
Lured him in with a piece of bread
They I smashed his little f***ing head
(yellow could be substituted for f***ing)


If I wanted to be
a doggie
then I should have joined
the Army
If I wanted to be
a squibbly
then I should have joined
the Navy
If I wanted to be
a fly-boy
then I should have joined
the Air Force
But I wanted to be
the best
that's why I joined
The Marine Corps
