Cadence - Just for grins

[JTF Ranger]

Hey, just for chits and grins and to break up some of the seriousness, let's post some of our favorite cadences. I know most of em are warmed up versions of the old classics, but when ya get with other Hooahs, now and then you'll hear some really funny ones.

RLTW

------------------
Don't fear the night, fear what hunts at night.

[justagrunt]

"Airborne Ranger raven mad..."
"He's got a hat, now everybody has..."
"Black & bold, sleak in shape..."
"Airborne Ranger, He's gone Ape..!"........

[JTF Ranger]

Little ole lady marchin down the street...
She had a ruck on her back and jump boots on her feet...

I said, hey old lady where ya goin to?

She said U.S. Army Airborne Ranger school...


One of the classics. http://www.specialoperations.com/ubboard/smile.gif

I understand that this one is taboo nowadays. A whole generation of Hooahs won't get to know the reeeeal classics.

RLTW

------------------
Don't fear the night, fear what hunts at night.

[realpolypro]

"Flyin' down 27, havin' some fun"
"Blue lights behind me, gonna have to run"
"MP, mp try and catch me, my VFR will
do 163"
"The scenery's blur and I'm havin' a
thrill"
"I'm in Cusetta, he's on Kelly Hill"!!

Invented and sung on a C 3/75 company run...very popular with E-8's and above! http://www.specialoperations.com/ubboard/smile.gif

Poly

[WS-G]

"Vi-et-naa-a-a-a-am, Vi-et-nam!
Late at night while you're sleepin'
All the Commies come a-creepin'
All arou-ou-ou-ound, all around."

The above was already "dated" by the time I signed on, but the old-timers still had us singing it as late as 1982.

I wish I could recall all the lyrics, but another classic is...
"...the Queen she waved her handerkerchief,
Colombo waved his pecker!

"That son of a bitch Colombo,
He said the world was round-o.
That hypocritical masturbatin'
Son of a bitch Colombo!"

And of course, that very un-PC one...
"...and napalm sticks to kids!"

[spectre]

Oh here we go,
We're at it again,
We're movin up,
We're movin in. . .

No wait, that was the drinkin song. . .
Try this. . .

In 1814 we took a little trip,
Followed Colonel Jackson down the Mighty Mississip,
We took a little powder and we took a little beans,
And fought the Bloody British in the town of New Orleans.
We fired our guns but the Britsh kept a comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago,
We fired our guns and they began a runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

For anyone who has never heard this, or want the whole thing, shoot me an email. It's a classic.

Mo

"Just a quarter-mile more..."

[MARK92A]

That last one is a song by Johnny Horton called "The Battle of New Orleans"

Good older tune that has a bit of a history lesson in it..

[garett]

Might not be a Ranger one but anyone ever heard the one that starts, I want to find out the rest of it:

Infantry once
Infantry twice
bim bam Jesus Christ........

Instructors weren't allowed to sing that one on my machine gun course because of the female drivers that were around. Had to hear it from my friend who was on a later serial when there weren't any females around.

[LRSC Grunt]

This one tends to stirr up attention.


I went to the chapel, where all the people pray,
I pulled out my 60, AND I SPRAY SPRAY SPRAY,
SINGING LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT KILL!!!!
Rape and pillage, burn the village yes we will!
I went to the store, where all the ladies shop,
I pulled out my mechete, AND I BEGAN TO CHOP,
SINGING LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT KILL!!!!
Rape and pillage, burn the village yes we will!

This ones one of my favs.

Your a poge and thats OK,
You dont do shit all damn day,
You go to work a quarter till ten,
Eleven thirty your home again.

Heres another one that tends to stirr up attention.

"R" is for retard
"A" is for everyday
"N" is for Knowledge
"G" is for jump status
"E" is for all the way
"R" is for ranger
BCEPT RANGER!!!

Speaks for itself.....

In a field, theres a lady,
In her arms, is a baby,
Lock and load one round,
Watch her hit the ground,
Walking in a sniper wonderland....

Napalm napalm sticks like glue,
Sticks to the mamas and the babies too.
Watch them scream and watch them shout,
as they stomp their babies out!!!

[Ted]

My father was a terrorist,
my mother was a witch.
Conceived in a backseat,
born in a ditch.
Raised in the gutter by
a wino named Bill.
He taught me how to cheat
and he taught me how to kill.
I ran with a streetgang,
I wore a leather coat.
Late at night we prayed to the Goat.
....
(and on and on) a good A 1/75 cadence.

[STN]

My Aunt Sally she sure is mean,
Her eyes are yellow and her teeth are green,
She might be ugly but she’s no fool,
You won’t catch her at SCUBA School.
Non Hacker,
Quiter!

[PY]

My buddy's in a foxhole
A bullet in his knee
So i reach in his rucksack
And take his MRE

Blue Fa-aa-aa-alcon....

[makane]

How about these?

Eighhhty -second, patch on my shoulder
Pick up up your weapon and follow me...
I'm the Airborne Infantry!
or

I left my girl,I left my life.....
I left my twelve inch Rambo Knife...
And it won't be long..........
Till I get on back home........

finally

Ain't no need in lookin' back
Jody's got your Cadillac......

[J-Dog]

A yellow bird
with a yellow bill
sat pearched up on
my window sill

I lured it in
with a piece of bread
then I crushed
it's little head

The moral of this story is clear
"With a little bread, you can get some head!"

[DBoy]

Reminds me of this variation....

In 1988 we took a little trip,
Jumped with the Rangers on the Gaza Strip,
We packed away our rations and took our M-16s,
To show the bloody Russians what the U.S. Army means,

We fired our weapons but the Russians kept a comin',
But there wasn't as many of 'em shootin' at me,
Fired once more and they began a runnin',
Out across the desert to the Sea of Galalie,

We jumped on in during the middle of the night,
There wasn't any moon but the stars were shining bright,
The Russians didn't see us and we took 'em by suprise,
They didn't know we landed 'till we shot 'em 'tween the eyes,

We fired our weapons but the Russians kept a comin', etc........

We fired our TOWs 'till the trackers melted down,
So we picked up a Dragon and we fired another round,
We scared away their infantry and chased away thier jets,
We charged the Russian armor with our bloody bayonets,

We fired our weapons but the Russians kept a comin',etc.......

Old George Patton said we'd fight 'em all some day,
He didn't get to see it but he finaly got his way,
The Russians went to far and we couldn't let it pass,
So we called on the Rangers to kick a little ass!

[realpolypro]

Excellent! Best one yet. I have a thing for cadence and that one rocks! Now I have to buy a printer for my new lappie http://www.specialoperations.com/ubboard/smile.gif

[LRSC Grunt]

@SS HOLE MOTHER FUC|<ER SON OF A B1TCH,
YOUR GRANDMOTHERS PU55Y SMELLS LIKE A FISH!!!

[Scotty]

Can't remember which movie it was, but it had a cadence I'll never forget...

"Here's a story (OF A LOVELY LADY!)
who was bringing up (THREE VERY LOVELY GIRLS!)
all of them had hair of gold (LIKE THEIR MOTHER!)
(all) THE YOUNGEST ONE IN CURLS..."

Or the oldie,

"Sargeant Striker, he's real mean
someone pissed in his canteen
past the laughs and the belly-aches
we put cocaine on his corn flakes
now he's running faster than a turbo jet
past Range 18 and he ain't stopped yet..."

Some people call them "terrorists", these boys have simply been misguided

[Cree Warrior]

Anyone remember the one about Jesus and all the Apostles? That was the best one I ever heard, but I only ever heard it once.
A good ol pagan delight!

RLTW

------------------
Don't fear the night, fear what hunts at night.

[Scotty]

I'm not a poet, so forgive the rhetoric. Here's an attempt...

"We're Army pogues in a black beret,
think I'll paint mine green today
I hate to wear this damn k-pot
but my beret's now black with polka dots
Some days I'm smart, some days I ain't
tried to spray that thing with Krylon paint"

Thankyouverymuch.

Scotty

I remember singing this cadence, but can't remember all the words.

Can anyone help?

[UberCree]

In the early mornin rain
In the early mornin rain
In the early mornin raaaaaaain,
In the early mornin rain.
Way back in 68,
Vietnam was going great.
Got a letter in the mail,
Go to war or go to jail.
Momma momma dont you cry,
your little boy aint gonna die.
Momma Momma cant you see,
the army life was made for me.

Shit I cant remember the rest, but its about your buddy gettin shot and getting exfil'd

[UberCree]

Jesus was the first cross dresser
Moses mastered water crossings
Noah worked in riverine ops

Something like that, one of you old 2nd Batt guys help me out!

[Reaper375]

Here's one:

Rat Shit Bat Shit
Dirty Stinking Twat
69 assholes tied in a knot
Eat Suck, Mother Fuck
Nibble gobble chew
I'm a fucking RANGER
WHO the FUCK are you?

and the Frank Sinatra one...
"Rangers in the niiiight...
exchangeing azimuths, wondering who is right...
what are our chances, of making it alright..."

and my personal favorite:
My Girl's got big ol tits
Fulla hair and gooey zits
but I'll fuck her anyway,
she likes it doggy style"

My Girl has her own TV
it's called an EKG
but I'll fuck her anyway
she likes it doggy style

[brewmonkey]

Oh you dont kill as seal just because you want a meal
you kill em cause you wanna hear the little fucker squeal.
You hit em in the head and you do it just for kicks then you poke them in the eye with your eye pokin stick.

[brewmonkey]

way up North where the air is cold
and you know the people aint got no gold
so they make their living just killing the baby seals

stomp and beat and roto-till em
any old way you wanna kill em
thats how they make their living
just killing the baby seals

My wife and kids all hate me
Jane Fonda wants to rape me
cause I make my living
just killing the baby seals

[para325air]

I was gonna start a tread like this....cool to see it already exists. I think its important that we pass on the legacy to the youngins...especially in this PC enviorment.

Up from a sub 60 feet below,
Comes an Airborne Ranger with a tab of gold,
Sidestroke, breaststroke to the shore,
Hit the beach and I am ready for war.

Commie machinegun opens up from the trees,
Leaving Ranger bodies all around my knees,

Picked up a 90 from amongst the dead,
And aimed it at that commies head,
Aim it steady, aim it well,
Gonna blow that commie straight to hell.

Flechette rounds flyin throught the leaves,
Leavin commie bodies swingin in the breeze.

**********************************
This ones probably dated by now....

I was just a baby when my daddy went away,
Missing in action, or so they say,
Raised by my stap-daddy on a Minnisota dairy,
Going back to Vietnam to be a mercinary.
Gonna even that battle, gonna even that score,
Gonna kill me a commie with my claymore.

**********************************
And then my all time favorite that is SOO fuckin motivating on a long run

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.

Now in darkness world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercies for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.

[para325air]

Hey...anyone remember the Lear jet flying over Moscow one?

[brewmonkey]

Oh hail Oh Hail the Infantry
Queen of the Battle follow me
The Infantry lifes the life for me
for nothing in this world is free

All of my buddies they ask me why?
Oh why oh why do you wanna die
The answer is this and this is true
for I love the sky and the Infantry Blue

Oh hail Oh Hail the Infantry
Queen of the Battle follow me
The Infantry lifes the life for me
for nothing in this world is free

The Airborne RANGER takes a knee
he says my darlin marry me
Were off to war and I must go
and when i'll return I do not know

(forgot the rest...)

[Battboy From Hell]

How I love those little girls
Some with straight hair some with curls
thirteen fourteen even younger
how they satisfy my hunger
grab that little bitch by her hair
throw her down those fucking stairs
if she screams then she's not dead
take your fist and crush her head

claymore taped to my forehead
I got the clacker in my hand
kick in the door and a great big boom
that's the best way to clear a room

Of course Marilyn Manson lyrics work really well too.

Weigel

[Battboy From Hell]

I used to get in trouble for singing cadence. I would come up with dirty evil nasty shit, especially in or around building 4 or the OCS classes.

Hey, people are supposed to be scared.... it's a Ranger Battalion.

Weigel

[RLK]

I know you guys know these.

Sally Brown

There was a girl called Sally Brown
Said no man could lay her down.

Then over the hill came perfect Pete
He was 50 pounds of swingin' meat.

He lay Sally down in the grass
And shoved his dick right up her ass.

Sally let out a ripper fart
Blew poor Pete's balls 20 feet apart.

Over that hill went Perfect Pete's
50 pounds of damaged meat.

Airborne Ranger:
Airborne Ranger was a hell of a man!
Walked through the bar with his cock in his hand!

Shit on the table and pissed on the floor.
Then wiped his ass with a "44."

Lined a hundred women up against the wall.
Bet a hundred bucks he could fuck them all.

Fucked 98 till his cock turned blue.
Up-chucked, jammed up, fucked the other two.

When he died he went to hell.
Fucked the devil's wife and his daughter as well.

[UberCree]

This is one for the trucks.



You can tell an Airborne Ranger by his BOOTS, BY HIS BOOTS! X2
Cuz they're SHINEY AS GLASS AND THEY"RE ALWAYS KICKIN ASS, you can tell an Airborne Ranger by his boots, by his boots!

You can tell an Airborne Ranger by his ruck, BY HIS RUCK! X2
Cuz its big as a truck and HEAVY AS FUCK, you can tell an Airborne Ranger BY HIS RUCK, by his ruck!

You can tell an Airborne Ranger by his dick! BY HIS DICK! X2
CUZ ITS THREE INCHES THICK AND ITS ALWAYS IN HIS CHIC! YOU CAN TELL AN AIRBORNE RANGER BY HIS DICK, BY HIS DICK!

[tri4fun]

No sir, not the black beret,
Cunt cap sir, like the old way
5 jump chump gonna sleep til noon
Sgt. Airborne issued me maroon
Look now whose silent, lean, and mean,
Earned this one, now mine's a green
( okay made this one up)

always liked to hear "momma told sally not to go down town..."

[Battboy From Hell]

Glorious, victorious! One keg of beer for the FOUR of us.
Singing glory be to God that there are no more of us
coz one of us could drink it all alone, damned near, pass a beer to the rear of the squad.

You can tell and Airborne Ranger by his wife, (by his wife).
You can tell and Airborne Ranger by his wife, (by his wife).
Because she fucks like a baboon,
and she FUCKED THE WHOLE PLATOON!
You can tell and Airborne Ranger by his wife, (by his wife).

[Battboy From Hell]

WHY THE FUCK aren't you singing.... PRIVATES!!!!!

Not a problem,
Front leaning rest position, MOVE!

In Cadence,
Sexercise

[Sinister Dave]

"Strike Force", I used to LOVE that one!

"Jesus led a 12-man A- Team,
YOU'LL LEAD ONE TOO
Oh Lordy Jesus led a 12-man A-Team,
YOU'LL LEAD ONE TOO
Oh Lordy Jesus led a 12-man A-Team
YOU'LL LEAD ONE TOO
Look awaaay beyond that Blue Horizon!

Mary got a field commission...

Moses led a river crossing...

Pharoah lost a whole battalion...

Samson got a Ranger haircut...

David was a small arms expert...

Judas was a buddy-fucker...

GOD is a HALO JUMPMASTER
YOU'LL BE ONE TOO
Oh Lordy GOD is a HALO JUMPMASTER
YOU'LL BE ONE TOO
oh Lordy GOD is a HALO JUMPMASTER
YOU'LL BE ONE TOO
Look awaaaaay beyond that Blue Horizon!:D

[Sinister Dave]

To the tune of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock and Roll":

Saw him laying there in the ORP
knew his MOS was 11B
the '60 was on the ground,
so we just got on down
and next we were humpin' on
my Ranger Buddy and me, yeah me
next we were movin' on, singing
I LOVE RANGER SCHOOL
put another pound in my rucksack, Baby!
I LOVE RANGER SCHOOL
grab another pound AND RUCK WITH ME!

[Razor]

A marching cadence we sang with great enthusiasm after our return to Camp Rudder following our FTX (to the best of my memory, and its a bit dated nowadays from my understanding):

There was a stud that was smokin’
A real badass 11B
Signed up to be a Ranger
So he could be all he could be

Well he went out to Darby
And he met the Merrill Team
He just smoked through the Worm Pit
He even fucked the Darby Queen

Somewhere there’s a mother
She cryin’ for her son
Ma don’t ya cry me no tears
I don’t want your sympathy
‘Cuz I’m an Airborne Ranger
And that’s all I wanna be!

So he went to the desert
Where the water is rare
Spent all night walking
Watched his ‘Go’ vanish in thin air

Then he moved to the mountains
And he humped the TVD
Climbed up Mount Yonah
Wished for an extra MRE

So don’t ya cry me no tears
I don’t want your sympathy
‘Cuz I’m an Airborne Ranger
And that’s all I wanna be!

Well he flew down to Rudder
Where the gators roam free
Humped all of that swampland
Got cellulitis in his knee

So then he went back to Benning
To claim that Black and Gold
And prove to all those around him
That he was brave and he was bold

So if you fail your PT test
Or you flunk your CTT
I guess an Airborne Ranger
Is somethin’ you’ll never be

So don’t ya cry me no tears
I don’t want your sympathy
‘Cuz I’m an Airborne Ranger
And that’s all I wanna be!
That’s what I’m gonna be!

[Razor]

A few more running cadences:

A shot rang out in the dead of the night
Looks like another bloody firefight

Our Squad Leader was shot in the head
Everyone thought he was dead

He did not cry, he did not shout
He dug that bloody bullet out

He never screamed or shed a tear
He sent it home to his mother dear

He said, “Look here, Mom, they can’t kill me”
“‘Cuz I’m the badest motherfucker in the Infantry!”



Coon skin and alligator hide
Made a pair of jump boots just my size
Spit-shine ‘em, pick ‘em up, lace ‘em on my feet
A good pair of jump boots can’t be beat



Two old ladies lyin’ in bed
One rolled over to the other and said:

I wanna be a paramedic
Shoot some funky anesthetic
Paramedic
Anesthetic

I wanna be a mountain fighter
Climb them mountains higher and higher
Mountain fighter
Higher and higher

I wanna be a scuba diver
Swim around in muddy water
Scuba diver
Muddy water



I had a dog; his name was Blue
Blue wanted to go to Ranger School
So I put him in the field, took away his chow
And put a lot of motivation in his bow-wow-wow

The same old dog whose name was Blue
Wanted to go to Scuba School
So I bought him a mask and four little fins
And I took him down ‘til he got the bends
Blue recovered and to my surprise
Now he dives to 135

[brewmonkey]

I had a dog whos name was blue
blue wanted to be a Ranger too
so I took away his chow
motivated his bow-wow
walked him around for 58 days
know old blue's in a zombie haze

Same old dog whos name was blue
he wanted to go to SCUBA school
So I bought him a mask and four little fins
I took him to the water and threw his ass in.

[Bravo Five Romeo]

(sung to the tune of POP GOES THE WEASEL)

I don't go out with girls anymore
I live a life of danger
I sit in my room and play with myself
Wheeee... I'm a Ranger!

[Bravo Five Romeo]

(this was one of my favorite run cadences)
C-130 flying across the sky
64 Rangers gonna jump and die
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
My knees buckled and I fell to the floor
Jumpmaster said "Ranger, you scared of the drop?"
I said "No jumpmaster, it's the sudden stop"
Jumpmaster picked me up off my knees
and kicked my ass in to the breeze
First man out looked like he was gonna cry
And I looked down and I saw why
The dropzone had more Russian tanks
Than Oscar Meyer's got foot long franks
I did a PLF off a T-72
Rolled on over and I killed the crew
(I forgot how the rest went)

[Bravo Five Romeo]

Here's one I picked up from a couple of 1/75 guys in the early 80's

One by one we were having some fun
in Grenada all day and all through the night
Two by two they were looking for you
in Grenada all day and all through the night
Three by three the were looking for me
in Grenada all day and all through the night
Four by four we were slamming the door
in Grenada all day and all through the night
Five by five we were staying alive
in Grenada all day and all through the night
Six by six they were laid out like sticks
in Grenada all day and all through the night
Seven by seven some of us went to Heaven
in Grenada all day and all through the night
Eight by eight we were setting things straight
in Grenada all day and all through the night
Nine by nine we were laying the line
in Grenada all day and all through the night
Ten by ten let's do it again
in NICARAGUA all day and all through the night

[Greenhat]

A couple of banned verses to "C130"

"If I die on the Russian front,
Bury me with a Russian cunt"

"If I die in a Chinese war,
Bury me with a Chinese whore."

[Billy L-bach]

sung to ballad of the green berets


Fighting soldiers they are not
drunken slobs
the whole damn lot

pink and white
their ID cards
they are men
from the national guard

[TMU]

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
Where'd you get that butter-bar?
Wait, don't tell me, let me guess,
Three box tops and an OCS!
