Sittin' on a mountain top,
beating my drum
Beat it so hard that he MP's
come
I said MP, MP, don't arrest me
Arrest that leg behind the
tree
He stole the whiskey, I stole
the wine
All I ever do is double-time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Airborne Ranger raving mad
He's got a tab I wish I had
Black and gold and half moon
shape
Airborne Ranger, he's gone ape
Jumpin' through windows,
kicking down the walls
Airborne Ranger's havin' a
ball
So if there's a trouble in the
world today
Call on the men in the Black
Berets!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Oh how my _____ is (are)
swollen (ankles, feet, legs, knees, etc.)
Don't let your dog tags dangle
in the mud
Pickup your dog tags, give it
to your bud
... dangle in the dirt
(ground) (track)
... put it in your shirt (toss
it all around) (put it in your pack)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up in the morning 'fore the
break of day
I don't like it, no way
Eat my breakfast way too soon
Hungry as a hound dog, 'fore
noon
Went to the mess hall on my
knees
I said, "Mess SGT., Mess
SGT., feed me please!"
Mess SGT. said with a big ol'
grin
"If you wanna be
Airborne, you gotta be thin"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up in the morning at the break
of day
Working so hard we never play
Running through the jungle
where the sun don't shine
All I do is double time
Up in the morning and out of
the rack
Grab my clothes and put them
on my back
Running cross the desert in
the shifting sand
Drill Sergeant, look, I'll
give you a helping hand
Up in the morning with a
whistle and a yell
I know that voice and I know
it well
Drill Sergeant says you better
hit the floor
And don't be walking going out
the door
I like women and I like wine
But all I do is double time
Double time here and double
time there
Man this life, it's the best
anywhere
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me and Superman got in a fight
I hit him in the head with
some Kryptonite
I hit him so hard I busted his
brain
And now I'm dating Lois Lane
Well, me and Batman, we had
one, too
I hit him in the head with my
left shoe
Right in the temple with my
left heel
And now I'm driving the
Batmobile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw an old lady running down
the street
Had a chute on her back, jump
boots on her feet
Said, "Hey old lady,
where you goin' to?"
She said, "US Army Airborne School"
Whatcha gonna do when you get
there?
Jump from a plane and fall
through the air
I said, "Hey old lady,
ain't you been told?
Airborne School's
for the brave and the bold."
She said, "Hey, now
soldier, don't be a fool,
I'm an instructor at Airborne School!"
Saw an old lady marching down
the road
Had a knife in her hand and a
90 lb. load
Said, "Hey old lady,
where you goin' to?"
She said, "US Army Ranger School"
Whatcha gonna do when you get
there?
Jump, swim, and kill without a
care
I said, "Hey old lady,
ain't you been told?
Ranger School's
for the brave and the bold."
She said, "Hey, now
soldier, don't be a fool,
I'm an instructor at Ranger School!"
Saw an old lady running down
the track
Had fins on her feet and a
tank on her back
Said, "Hey old lady,
where you goin' to?"
She said, "US Army Scuba School"
Whatcha gonna do when you get
there?
Swim under water and never
breathe air
I said, "Hey old lady,
ain't you been told?
Scuba School's
for the brave and the bold."
She said, "Hey, now
diver, don't be a fool,
I'm an instructor at Scuba School!"

When my granny was 91
She did PT just for fun
92
She did PT better than you
93
She did PT better than me
94
She did PT more and more
95
She did PT to stay alive
96
She kept on doing
flutter-kicks
97
She up and died and went to
heaven
She met St. Peter at the
pearly gates
Said, "St. Peter, St.
Peter, hope I'm not late
St. Peter said with a big ol'
grin
"Get down granny, and
knock out ten"
She replied with a big ol'
smile
"Sorry, St. Peter, I'm on
profile!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One mile
No sweat
Two miles
Better yet
Three miles
Gotta run
Four miles
To the sun
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know but I think I
might
Jump from an airplane while in
flight
Soldier, soldier, have you
heard
I'm gonna jump from a big iron
bird
Up in the morning in the
drizzlin' rain
Packed my chute and boarded
the plane
C-130 rollin' down the strip
64 Rangers on a one-way trip
Mission Top Secret,
destination unknown
They don't know if they're
ever coming home
When my plane gets up so high
Airborne troopers gonna dance
in the sky
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to
the door
Jump right out and count to
four
If my main don't open wide
I got a reserve by my side
If that one should fail me too
Look out ground, I'm a-coming
through
If I die on the old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home
Bury speakers all around my
head
So I can rock with the
Grateful Dead
Bury speakers all around my
toes
So I can rock with Axel Rose
If I die on a Chinese hill
Take my watch or the commies
will
If I die in the Korean mud
Bury me with a case of Bud
Put my wings upon my chest
And tell my Mom I did my best
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A is for Airborne
I is for in the sky
R is for Ranger
B is for bonafide
O is for on the go
R is for Rock-n-Roll
N is for never quit
E is for everyday
'Cause I'm Airborne
All the way
Super-duper
Paratrooper
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R is for rough and tough
A is for all the way
N is for never quit
G is for gung-ho
E is for excellence
R is for Ranger
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two old ladies lying in bed
One rolled over to the other
and said,
"I wanna be an Airborne
Ranger
Live a life of....danger
Blood....guts....danger
That's the life of an Airborne
Ranger!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I get to heaven
St. Peter's gonna say,
"How'd you earn your
livin' boy,
How'd you earn your pay?"
I'll reply with a whole lot of
anger,
"Made my living as an
Airborne Ranger!
Blood, guts, danger
That's the life of an Airborne
Ranger!"
When I get to Hell
Satan's gonna say,
"How'd you earn your
livin' boy,
How'd you earn your pay?"
I'll reply with a fist to his
face,
"Made my living laying
SOULS to waste!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Coon skin and alligator hide
Makes a pair of jump boots
just the right size
Shine 'em up, lace 'em up, put
'em on your feet
Brand new jump boots can't be
beat
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had a dog who's name was Boo
Boo wanted to go to Infantry
school
So early one day I took away
his chow
And I motivated his bow-wow
I made him walk for 15 days
And put old Boo into a zombie
haze
Now my Boo's a trooper, too
Mess with him and he'll bite
you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GI coat and GI comb
Gee, I wish that I were home
GI coat and GI gravy
Gee, I wish I'd joined the
Navy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AWOL, AWOL, where've you been?
Down in the bars, drinking gin
What ya gonna do when you get
back?
Sweat it all out on the PT
track
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineers are number one
They call us when there's work
to be done
Aviation is all we hear
We do the work, they drink the
beer
Pistol ranges, soccer goals
Road extensions, we do it all
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 annd 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, don't be
blue
They're gonna make you a
soldier, too
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesse James said before he
died
There's five things he wanted
to ride
A bicycle, tricycle,
automobile
A bow-legged horse and a
ferris wheel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineer, engineer running
down the road
Running so fast makes the
others look old
We're running hard and we're
running long
Still singing another stupid
song
Build a road or cut down a
tree
Or dig some graves for the
Infantry
Working hard and working all
day
Knocking down anything that
gets in the way
