Here we go again
Same old stuff again
Marching down the avenue
Few more days and weâll be though
I wonât have to look at you
So, Iâll be glad and so will you
These boots were made for walkinâ
And thatâs just what theyâll do
If all youâre doing is markinâ time
Theyâll walk all over you.
These guns were made for shootinâ
And thatâs just what theyâll do
And if we get a mission
Weâll drill a hole in you.
This Armyâs trained for fightinâ
And thatâs just what weâll do
If you pick a fight with us
Weâll walk all over you.
Standing tall and looking good
Ought to march in Hollywood
Letâem blow letâem blow
Let the four winds blow
Letâem blow from east to west
The U.S. Army is the best
Hold your head and hold it high
_______Platoon is marching by
Close your eyes and hang your head
We are marching by the dead
Look to your right and whadta see?
A whole bunch of legs looking at me
Dress it right and cover down
Forty inches all around
Nine to the front, six to the rear
Thatâs the way we do it here
Everywhere I go
Thereâs a Black hat there
Everywhere I go
Thereâs a Black hat there
Black hat
Black hat
Why donât you leave me alone
And let me go back home
(sub the next verses for âEverywhere I goâ)
When I eat my chowâŠ
When I comb my hairâŠ
When I brush my teethâŠ
When I get my shotsâŠ
When I do PTâŠ
When I see my girlâŠ
When I get out of bedâŠ
On an FTXâŠ
Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he
He called for his pipe and called for his bowl
And he called for his privates, three
Beer, Beer, Beer said the privates
Merry men are we
But none so fair that they can compare to the airborne infantry
Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl
and he called for his corporals, three
I need a three-day pass said the corporals
Beer, Beer, Beer said the privates
Merry men are we
But none so fair that they can compare to the airborne infantry

Eighty-second
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your âchutes and follow me
Iâm the airborne infantry
One-oh-one
Screaming eagles
Pick up your rope and follow me
Iâm the air assault infantry
Twenty-fifth
Tropic lightning
Pick up your rucks and follow me
Iâm the light infantry
First division
Big red one
Jump on your tracks and follow me
Iâm the mechanized infantry
Seventy-fifth
Black beret
Pick up your weapon and follow me
Iâm the ranger infantry
Sixth ID
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your snowshoes, follow me
Arctic Light Infantry
Wake up to mortar attack
Hit the ground, Iâm out of the rack
My sergeant rushes me off to chow
But I donât eat it anyhow
Oh hail, Oh hail, Oh infantry
Queen of battle, follow me
Oh, airborne rangerâs the life for me
For nothing in this world is free
From a big bird in the sky
All will jump and some will die
Off to battle we will go
To live or die, hell I donât know.
Hit the ground with American pride
A bullet through a commieâs eye
He ought to be damn glad he died
Heâd hate for me to take him alive
Itâs true that some of us will die
Airborne rangers learn to fly
But not today as I hit the ground
Lock and load another round
Over the hill, some men Iâve seen
Head to toe in Army green
Moving tactically, not a sound
Infantry soldiers on the ground
Assault, support are all in place
The enemy unaware of his fate
Claymores blast the 60âs roar
Again, the airborne ranger scores
Its true that someday Iâll be dead
Before I go Iâll take more heads
Before us enemies all will flee
âCause weâre the airborne infantry
I donât know why I left
But I mustâve done wrong
And it wonât be long
âTill I get on back home
Got a letter in the mail
Go to war or go to jail
Sat me in that barberâs chair
Spun me around, I had no hair
Used to drive a Cadillac
Now I pack it on my back
Used to drive a limousine
Now Iâm wearing Army green
Dress it right and cover down
Forty inches all around
Nine to the front and six to the rear
Thatâs the way we do it here
Used to date a beauty queen
Now I date my M-16
Ainât no use in lookinâ down
Ainât no discharge on the ground
Ainât no use in going back
Jodyâs got your cadillac
Ainât no use in calling home
Jodyâs got your girl and gone
Ainât no use in feeling blue
Jodyâs got your sister too
Took away my faded jeans
Now Iâm wearing Army greens
They took away my gin and rum
Now Iâm up before the sun
Mama Mama canât you see
What this Armyâs done to me
Mama Mama canât you see
This Army life is killing me
Count cadence
Delay cadence
Skip cadence
Count
(one) All you soldiers
(two) You better do your best
(three) Before you find yourself
(four) In the leaning rest
(one) Hit it
(two) Kick it
(three) Stab it
(four) Kill it
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four
We like it here
We love it here
Weâve finally found a home
A home
A home
A home away from home (Hey!)

You wake up in the morning and youâre floating on the roof
In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
A begger bound for college
Was roaming in the streets of Spain
And selling hot tamales
He said the world was round â oh
He said it could be found â oh
The hypothetical navigating son-of-a-gun
Colombo
Said Isabel to Ferdinand
His plan sounds mighty hazy
said Ferdinand to Isabel
I think the suckerâs crazy!
Through the desert and across the plains
Steaming jungles and tropic rains
No mortal foe can stop me now
This is gonna be my solemn vow
I have honor and I have pride
Winning serves me as my guide
This Army shocks our enemies
Brings them crashing to their knees
Basic Training is plenty rough
To make it through you must be tough
Hey, Squad Leader, donât be blue
Theyâre gonna make you a soldier too
