F-15 Rollin' Down the Strip F-15 rollin’ down the strip, Air Force jockey on a one way trip. Mission: Top Secret, Destination: Unknown, Don't even know if he's ever coming home. Scorching the ground at the speed of sound, Droppin' that napalm all around. Rippin' through the sky at Mach 2.2, Afterburner, I'm counting on you. If that bogie screws with me, Dead as a doornail he will be. America counts upon our crews; Friendly skies are the Air Force blues.

I Wanna Be... I wanna be an Air Force pilot; I wanna fly an F-15. I wanna ride with the canopy open, Just to hear those commies scream.

Me and Superman… 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. In the left temple with my left heel, Now I’m driving the batmobile!

My Granny and PT 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 gate, 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!"

F-4 Pilot My daddy was an Air Force pilot, He was a real good one too. He flew in the F-4 Phantom, My daddy was so true. He flew in Southeast Asia, He fought in the Vietcong. They said he’d never falter, My daddy was so strong. He climbed up in to the cockpit, And he closed the canopy. Then he lit the afterburners, And said good-bye to me. The mission was a hard one, With bogeys everywhere. Death was almost certain, My daddy didn’t care. He came in low and screamin', He came in hard and fast. He took a direct SAM hit, His F-4 didn't last. My daddy is dead and gone now, He just a memory. He was the best example, Of what some one should be.

M-16 They issued me an M16, Hurrah, Hurrah! They issued me an M16, Hurrah, Hurrah! They issued me an M16, But didn’t issue a magazine-- We’ll all be dead by the summer of ’69! The summer of ’69! Hurrah! They issued me a bayonet, Hurrah, Hurrah! They issued me a bayonet, Hurrah, Hurrah! They issued me a bayonet, But they haven’t taught me to use it yet-- We’ll all be dead by the summer of ’69! The summer of ’69! Hurrah! They issued me a .45, Hurrah, Hurrah! They issued me a .45, Hurrah, Hurrah! They issued me a .45, In the hopes that I might stay alive— But we’ll all be dead by the summer of ’69! The summer of ’69! Hurrah!

Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot how did you get down? In an A-10 Charlie, big and round. Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot what did you do? I killed a commie for me and you! Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot how did you get back? By the seat of my pants and my parachute strap!

'Till I Get On Back Home I don't know why I left, But I must've done wrong. Refrain: And it won't be very long, 'Till I get on back home. Got a letter in the mail, Go to war or go to jail. Sat me in that barber's chair, Spun me around, I had no hair. Used to drive a Cadillac, Now I pack it on my back. Dress it right and cover down, Forty inches all around. Nine to the front and six to the rear, That's the way we do it here. Used to date a beauty queen, Now I date my M-16. Ain't no use in going back, Jody's got your Cadillac. Ain't no use in calling home, Jody's got your girl and gone. Ain't no use in feeling blue, Jody's got your sister too. They took away my gin and rum, Now I'm up before the sun. Mama, Mama, can't you see? What the Air Force's done for me. Mama, Mama, can't you see? This Air Force life is good for me.

Tiny Bubbles Tiny bubbles, In my beer. Makes me happy, And full of cheer. Tiny bubbles, In my wine. Makes me happy, All the time.

I Hear the Choppers Coming I hear the choppers coming, They're flying overhead. They've come to get the wounded, They've come to get the dead. My buddy's in a foxhole, A bullet in his head. The medic says he's living, But I know that he's dead. I ran to tell the C-O, About my buddy's head. But before I got there, The C-O was dead. And now the battle's over, The smoke is all around. We wanted to go home, But we're six feet underground.

They Say that in the Air Force They say that in the Air Force, the chicken's mighty fine, One jumped off the table and started marking time. Refrain: Oh, Lord I wanna go But they won't let me go They say that in the Air Force, the pay is mighty fine, They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine. They say that in the Air Force, the coffee's mighty fine, It looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine. They say that in the Air Force, the biscuits are mighty fine, One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine. They say that in the Air Force, the meat is mighty fine, Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine. They say that in the Air Force, the shoes are mighty fine, You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine. They say that in the Air Force, the pancakes are mighty fine, You can try to chew them, but you're only wasting time. They say that in the Air Force, the beds are mighty fine, But how the hell would I know, I've never slept in mine. They say that in the Air Force, the mail is so great, Today I got a letter dated 1948. They say that in the Air Force, the hours are just right, Start early in the morning and work on through the night. They say that in the Air Force, the buses are mighty fine, One went round the corner, and left three wheels behind. They say that in the Air Force, the toilets are mighty fine, You flush them up at seven, and they come back up at nine. They say that in the Air Force, the tents are waterproof, You wake up in the morning and you're floating on the roof.

Old King Cole 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 Sergeants; three. I need a three-day pass said the Sergeants, Merry men are we. But none so fair that they can compare to the Air Force ROTC! The cadence continues on in this manner, with a verse about a higher rank and repeating all of the ranks before. Eight verses are sung with these lyrics: (the cadet is added only if you want to) Sergeants three see above MTI's three "File from the left, column right said the MTI's" Lieuies three (pronounced loo-ee) "I'll lead the way, said the Lieuies" Captains three "Charge that hill, said the Captains" Majors three "Who's gonna shine my boots, said the Majors" Colonels three "Where's my star, said the Colonels" Generals three "War, war, war" Cadets three "When do I get my check?"

Mama, Mama Mama, Mama can't you see What the Air Force done to me Used to drive a Chevrolet, Now I'm marchin' everyday. Took away my faded jeans, Now I'm wearin' Air Force greens. Used to date a beauty queen, Now l got my M-16. Used to be a high school stud, Now I'm crawlin' in the mud. Used to drive a Subaru, Now I'm wearin' Air Force blue. Used to own a Cadillac, Now I pack it on my back.

Somewhere There's a Woman Somewhere there's a woman, She's crying for her man, He's an Air Force pilot, He does the best he can. Don't cry for me, I don't need your sympathy, 'Cause I'm an Air Force pilot, And that's all I want to be. Somewhere there's a mother, She's praying for her son. He's an Air Force pilot, And his work is never done. Somewhere there's a father, His head is bowed in grief. His son was an Air Force pilot, And he died for his beliefs. Somewhere there's a mother, Flag folded in her hand. Her son was an Air Force pilot, And he died for his land.

Saw an old Lady... 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!"

One Mile - No Sweat... One mile, No sweat. Two miles, Better yet. Three miles, Gotta run. Four miles, To the sun!

64 Rangers on a One-Way Trip 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 even 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've 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.

Two old ladies Two old ladies lying in bed, One rolled over to the other and said, I wanna be an Airborne Ranger, Live a life of guts and danger. I wanna be a paramedic, Shoot that funky anesthetic. I wanna be a mountain climber, Climb that mountain higher and higher. I wanna be a scuba diver, Jump right in that muddy water.

When I Go Home When I go home, My Momma’s gonna say, “How’d you earn your livin' boy? “How’d you earn your pay?” And I’ll reply with just a little bit of anger, “Blood, sweat, guts, and danger… That’s the life on and airborne ranger!” When I go to heaven, St. Peter’s gonna say, “How’d you earn your livin' boy? How’d you earn your pay?” And I’ll reply with a little more anger, “Blood, sweat, guts and danger… That’s the life of an airborne ranger! When I got to hell, Satan’s gonna say, “How’d you earn your livin' boy? How’d you earn your pay?” And I’ll reply with a whole lotta anger, “Blood, sweat, guts, and danger… That’s the life of an airborne ranger!”

Dog named Boo I had a dog whose 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 march for 15 days, And put old Boo in a zombie haze. Now my Boo's a trooper, too, Mess with him and he'll bite you!

GI coat & GI comb 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!

Through the Desert 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, don't be blue, They're gonna make you a soldier, too.

Once there were 1000 legs... Once there were a thousand legs, Caught in a valley by the NVA. The President knew just what to do, He called on me and he called on you. M16 and a forty-five, Those are the tools that we live by. If you want to stay alive, Take your chances with the three-two-five.

Hail, Hail, Infantry Wake up to a mortar attack, Hit the ground, I'm out of the rack. My sergeant rushes me off to chow, But I don't eat it anyhow. Oh, airborne ranger's 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 don't know. Hit the ground with American pride, A bullet through a commie's eye. He ought to be damn glad he died, He'd hate for me to take him alive. It's 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. Early at night, it's drizzling rain, I am hit and feel no pain. But in my heart I have no fear, Because my Ranger God is near. Mortars and artillery, The screaming bursts around me. Jagged shrapnel on the fly, Kills my buddy, makes me cry. Over the hill, some men I've seen, Head to be 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. 16’s blast and 60's roar, Again, the airborne rangers score. Its true that someday I'll be dead, Before I go I'll take more heads. Before us enemies all will flee, 'Cause we're the airborne infantry.

Screw their Minds Up We'll be here when the morning comes, Screw their minds up with our guns. We're the best that they will see, We're Airborne Ranger Infantry. Up in the morning out of bed, A long hard day now lies ahead. First sergeant says "Y'all fall in," I say to myself, "Here we go again."

Shoot, Shoot, Shoot Deep in a battlefield, covered in mud, Lies an Airborne Ranger dying in blood. He fought to keep America free, He was a soldier like you and me. Those silver wings upon his chest, Tell America that he's one of the best.

Double Time 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.

CHOW Up in the morning, before the break of day, I don't like it, no way. Eat my breakfast too damn soon, Hungry as a hound by noon. Went to the mess sergeant on my knees, Said "mess SGT, mess SGT, feed me please." Mess SGT. said with a big wide grin, "If you wanna be Airborne, you gotta be thin."

The Rangers are Moving The Rangers are a moving, They’re moving through the night. The Rangers are a looking, They’re looking for a fight. Charlie is a moving, moving through the night, Charlie, Charlie, he thinks that he can fight. But up from behind him, A Ranger standing tall. A Slits Charlie's throat, And watches that Charlie fall.

The Berets Who's the man in the red beret? Makes his livin' in the sky they say, Airborne leads the way, To make a brighter day... Who's the man in the black beret? Makes his livin' in the woods they say, Ranger leads the way, To make a brighter day. Who's the man in the green beret? Makes his livin' in a special way, Special Forces Leads the way, To make a brighter day! (Repeat two more times)

Looking down let's have some fun, 5 little commies watch them run. 5 little commies in the grass, Watch that A10 light their ass. 4 Little commies down by the lake, Come on people watch them bake. 3 little commies in the hut, Watch that napalm light their butt. 2 little commies jump in the cave, Come on napalm make their grave. 1 little commie's getting hot, Watch that napalm hit the spot. A10 pilots in the sun, A10 pilots out for fun!

Airborne PT Early one morning in the pouring rain, First Sergeant said it was time for pain. Grab your junk and follow me, Its time to do some PT. We jogged nine miles and we ran three, The First Sergeants yelling follow me. Then we walked two miles and ran eight, Airborne PT sure is great!

Baby Brigade Talking to my daddy on his dying bed, With a smile on his face, this is what he said: When I came out of my mothers womb, I found myself in the delivery room. All bloody and wet I rappelled to the floor, Cut the umbillicord and crawled to the door. Camouflage diaper, black baby shoes, Butter knife sword and baby dress blues. Humvee stroller, tricycle tank, 3 diaper pins on my collar for rank. Went down the hall heard some crying like heck, Walked right in and called ATTENTION ON DECK! Said "Listen up wimps, I'm in command" "All your crying and your sniveling will not stand!" They said "Sir, yes, sir" and I had it made, I was in command of the baby brigade.

Backwoods Johnny Backwoods Johnny was a wrestlin' fool, He wrestled alligators on his way to school. He'd stroke their bellies and throw 'em in a sack, And run off to school with a gator on his back. Teacher seen him coming, and jumped on a chair, She yelled at Johnny, "Get your gator outta here!" Johnny replied as he took his seat, "You better mind your manners 'cause my gator wants some meat!"

Birdie, Birdie Birdie, birdie in the sky, Dropped some whitewash in my eye. I won't fuss and I won't cry, I'm just glad that cows can't fly.

Combat Control This was submitted by a CAP Cadet. I'll tell you one thing. He's pretty damn Hard Core for a CAP. We come in the night and steal your soul, That's because we're the Combat Control. Paint my face black and green, Do it well so I won't be seen. I come by land, air and sea, You can call me the CCT! I slip and slither through the grass, Then come up and kick your ass!

Locked and cocked I'm gonna attack! Standin' tall in my red beret, I'm the best in the USA!

F-15 Rollin’ Down The Strip #2 F-15 rolling down the strip, Eagle driver gonna take a little trip. Rev it up, taxi down, count to four, Push the throttle forward and hear the engines roar. Thirty thousand feet and still climbing higher, Doin’ mach 2 with my hair on fire. Took a look at my six and what did I see, a MIG-29 comin' after me. Pulled it up and rolled to left to his surprise, should have seen the look in that bogie's eyes. I got tone and let my missile fly, blew that -29 right out of the sky. when you see an Eagle driver he will say, flying and fighting is the Air Force way!

Private Pile Private Pile was a fat Marine. The fattest one the DI'd ever seen. The DI would always scream and shout. Why does your belly hang so far out! PT, PT all damn day, So that belly will stop that sway. Push-ups, sit ups, hit the grass. Private Pile move that ASS(with emphasis)! Private Pile we won't stop. Till that weight starts to drop. Keep it up, keep it up, we want more! So you can join our beloved corps. Teamwork changed him from a lazy dud, Now he is a PT stud.
