Mama,mama have you heard
LBJ has passed the word
Gonna go to Vietnam to fight and kill those Vietnam Cong
Now if I die in a combat zone
Box me up and ship me home
Fold my arms across my chest and tell all the women that I done my best.

Jump from the rack in the middle of the night, make a head call & I’m ready to fight……

That one’s changed a little, I learned it in ’07 on PI and it went:
Little yellow birdie with a little yellow bill,
Landed on my windowsill.
I lured him in with a piece of bread,
Then I bit off his mother f***ing head!
Little brown puppy with the big brown eyes,
Wandered in from outside.
I lured him close with a piece of meat,
Then I ran a nail through his feet!
Stupid puppy!
Should have known:
Blood makes
The grass grow!

Little bird with a yellow bill,
landed on my window sill.
First I fed him crumbs of bread,
then I crushed his fuckin head.

Birdie Birdie In The Sky
Drop A little White Wash In My Eye

52 years ago I would have thought that to be funny. 4 daughters and 3 granddaughters later not so funny. Paul

Hey there Air Force,
Get in your planes and carry me
We are Marine Corps Infantry
Best you know on Land and Sea.
Hey there Navy,
Get in your boats and transport me,
We are Marine Corps Infantry
Best you know on Land and Sea.
Hey there Army,
Climb in your tanks and follow me,
We are Marine Corps Infantry
Best you know on Land and Sea.
Hey there civilians,
Get off your butts and follow me
We are Marine Corps Infantry
Best you know on Land and Sea!
