drill songs?

Question

do you have some really cool army ( or other military) drill songs for me?

Answer 1

Cannot possibly repeat them, i would be reported, LF

Answer 2

It's not a "drill song"; it's called a military cadence. There are two types: Walking cadences, and Running cadences. Both are set to number of steps per minute, if I remember right, the former to 1/4 time, the latter to 1/8 time.

You can find a number of military cadences by running a search engine on them. Some of them I doubt you will ever find online, such as "Moses was a Land Nav No-Go" (a reference to timed land navigation courses in the military, where you have to get from Point A to B using a compass and a map cross-country, rated as a Go or No-Go) and "Jesus was a Small Group Leader" (a refence to Army Special Forces A-Teams aka "Green Berets", which are set at 12 men).

Good luck finding more.

Answer 3

Most of them are pretty naughty. You may have to watch some old military movies to get them. A whole class start this way:

I got a gal from New York City
She's got a tattoo on her tittie

You can substitute almost any city name, because you can always add the word "city" to the name. And you can change around what she's got on it. You can also rhyme other locations with other body parts.

Oh, yes, then the rest of it goes like this:

Sound off, One Two
Sound off, Three Four
Bring it on down
One Two Three Four
One Two!
Three Four!

Answer 4

There's alot of good sites out there for military cadence. My hubby is currently a Drill Sergeant and this is my fave one. They do this at the end of every graduation as they leave the building after the ceremony.

When I go to bed,
There's a drill sergeant there.
When I go to bed,
There's a drill sergeant there.

CHORUS
Everywhere I go, there's a drill sergeant there
Everywhere I go, there's a drill sergeant there
Drill sergeant drill sergeant,
Counts the cadence by the numbers everywhere I go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.


When I'm eatin' chow,
There's a drill sergeant there.
When I'm eatin' chow,
There's a drill sergeant there.


CHORUS
When I'm on a pass,
There's a drill sergeant there.
When I'm on a pass,
There's a drill sergeant there.

CHORUS

Answer 5

Courtesy of my misspent youth at Fort Jackson and Fort Gordon in the early 90's:

Left is what the drill sergeant sings, right is what the platoon replies with

"Yellow bird"

A yellow bird / yellow bird
with a yellow bill / yellow bill
was standing on / standing on
my window sill / window sill
A yellow / biiiiird
with a yellow / biiiiil
was standing on my (everybody steps hard) window sill

I let it in / let it in
with a piece of bread / piece of bread
and then I smashed / then I smashed
(everybody steps hard)
its little head / its ******* head (not around the brass, they hated cursing in cadences)
I let it / iiiiiiin
with a piece of / breeeeeeeead
and then I smashed
(everybody steps hard)
its little head / its ******* head

And so it goes.

We probably rotated between 20 or so cadences, but that god damn little bird candence got burned into my brain forever.

Answer 10

I am the wife of a Marine Corps Drill Instructor, so here are a few I know off the top of my head. If they slam other branches, I apologize, its them, not me :)



You can keep your Army khaki,
You can keep your Navy blue,
I have the World's best fighting man,
To introduce to you
His uniform is different,
The best you've ever seen,
The Germans called him "Devil Dog"
His real name is "Marine."

He was born on Parris Island,
The place where God forgot.
The sand is eighteen inches deep,
The sun is blazing hot.

He gets up every morning,
Before the rising sun.
He'll run a hundred miles and more,
Before the day is done.

He's deadly with a rifle,
A bayonet made of steel.
He took the Warrior's calling card,
He's mastered how to kill.

And when he gets to Heaven,
St. Peter he will tell,
One more Marine reporting, sir,
I've spent my time in Hell.

So listen, all you young girls,
To what I have to say;
Go find yourself a young Marine,
To love you everyday.

He'll hug you and he'll kiss you,
And treat you like a queen,
There is no better Fighting Man,
The United States Marine

Mamma told Johnny not to go downtown
The Marine Corps recruiter was hanging around;

But Johnny went downtown anyway
To hear what the recruiter had to say

The recruiter asked Johnny what he wanted to be
Johnny said i wanna join the infantry.

So johnny caught a plane out to Vietnam,
To fight some people called the Viet Cong.

Killed a hundred men with his rifle and blade,
Only god knows how many lives he saved.

Johnny was bad and he was brave,
Johnny jumped on a hand grenade.

Saved the lives of the men he led,
But now poor johnny he was dead.

Before he died this is what he said,
To tell his momma when he was dead

Momma, momma, dont u cry,
The Marine Corps motto is SEMPER FI!

C-130 rollin' down the strip,
Recon daddy gonna take a little trip.

Mission top secret, destination unknown.
We don't know if we're ever coming home.

Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door,
Jump right out and Shout MARINE CORPS!

And if my main don't open wide,
I got another one by my side,

And if that one don't billow round,
I'll be the first one to hit the ground!

Stickin' and a slashing,
Killin' and a gashin'
Singing lo righty layeft
Lefty righty layo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Up from a sub sixty feet below,
When I hit the surface I'll be ready to go.
Side stroke, back stroke, swimming to shore.
When I hit the beach, I'm ready for war.

Greased gun, K-Bar by my side.
These are the tools that I need to survive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Running through the jungle with my M-16,
I'm a mean mutherfucker, I'm a US Marine.
If you see me coming, you better stand aside.
Many men didn't, many men died.

I see an Iraq sitting in a tree.
I see an Iraqi, but he don't see me.

Site alignment, site picture right between the eyes.
Slow steady squeeze and another Iraqi dies.

Up in the morning at a quarter to four
I grab my pack, I’m out the door
My baby asks me where I’ll go
I’ll tell her “Baby I don’t know”
Hail, hail, infantry
The Queen of Battle follows me
The Marine Corps life is the life for me
‘Cause nothing in this life is free

Drop me off in the battle zone
A thousand miles away from home
I pray to God and ask him why
When freedom calls I have to die

Hail, hail, infantry
The Queen of Battle follows me
The Marine Corps life is the life for me
‘Cause nothing in this life is free

Laying on a foreign land
Bleeding on the foreign sand
The ground is stained a crimson red
Before they find me I’ll be dead

Hail, hail, infantry
The Queen of Battle follows me
The Marine Corps life is the life for me
‘Cause nothing in this life is free

Hail, hail, infantry
The Queen of Battle follows me
The Marine Corps life is the life for me
‘Cause nothing in this life is free

I wanna be a Drill Instructor,
I wanna shave off all my hair.
I wanna live a life of danger,
I wanna be beyond compare.
Singing lo righty lo righty lo righty left

I wanna be a Drill Instructor,
I wanna shave off all my hair.
I wanna make those recruits suffer,
I wanna wear that smokey bear.
Singing lo righty lo righty lo righty left

(THIS ONE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES)

One day I came out my momma's womb
I found myself in a delivery room.
All bloody and wet I rappeled to the floor
I cut the cord and shout, "MARINE CORPS".
I knew right then I was a baby Marine
The meanest little cuss you ever had seen.
Two saftey pins on my shoulders for rank
A Humvee stroller and a tricycle tank.

I had camoflage diapers and flak baby shoes
A butternut sword and baby Dress Blues.
So, I donned my Blues and I cruised through the ward
Saluting all the nurses with my butternut sword.

Then I heard all these babies crying like heck
I kicked in the hatch and yelled, "ATTENTION ON DECK"
I said, "Listen up babies, I'm in command
Crying and wimpering I will not stand"

They said, "Aye Aye, Sir" and I knew I had it made
As Commander-in-Chief of the Baby Brigade.
