Jodies

Marching was part of what we did everyday.  ​In the first book, we included some of the marching cadences we used.  But we left a lot of them out for reasons of space.  On this page, you will find a more complete listing of the Jodies we used. 

Here we go again!

Here we go again!

Same old day again!

Marching down the avenue

Few more days and we'll be through

I won't have to look at you!

You won't have to look at me

So, I'll be glad and so will you!

 

Turn up the volume

Turn up the volume.

Just like a rad-i-o.

A high-fi ste-r-eo.

Turn it up in front.

Turn it up In the middle.

Turn it up In the rear.

 

Early in the Morning

Early one morning in the pouring rain,

Master Chief said it was time for pain,

grab your ruck and follow me!

It’s time to do some PT.

We jogged nine miles and we ran three,

The Chief was yelling follow me!

Then we walked two miles and ran eight!

Navy PT sure is great!

 

 

Hey, Hey Marines

Left, left, left, right, left
He-ey Marines
Bullet-sponge marine corps
Cannon fodder marine corps
Crayon eating Marine corps

Left, left, left, right, left
He-ey Marines
March in the sun until your pink
I really wish you didn’t stink
At least you know how to drink
So come and have a drink with me

Left, left, left, right, left
He-ey Marines
We know you can’t learn math
One day you’ll learn to take a bath
Good thing you can’t smell yourself
That’s why you’re at the bar all by yourself

Left, left, left, right, left
He-ey Marines
Hear you can’t get their on your own
You smell so bad can’t get on the bus
Rather have you in the fight
Guess you’ll have to ride with us

Left, left, left, right, left
He-ey Marines
Navy’s here to save the day!

Up from a Sub

Up from a sub 50ft below
Up swims a woman with a tag of gold
Backstroke, sidestroke
heading for shore

She hits the beach and
she’s ready for war
240 Bravo, Kabar by her side
These are the tools she lives by

How to kill, search team, hostage snatch
Out of the sub and back to the hatch
Hand-to-hand combat behind the lines
Seal Team 5 is just killing time


They Say… 

They say that in the Navy the coffee’s mighty fine
it looks like muddy water, it tastes like turpentine. 

They say that in the Navy the toilets are mighty fine,
you flush them down at 7, they come back up again at 9. 

They say that in the Navy the pay is mighty fine,
they give you 100 dollars and take back 99

They say that in the Navy, the meat is mighty fine
Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine

They say that in the Navy, the shoes are mighty fine
You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine

They say that in the Navy, the hours are just right
Start early in the morning and work on through the night

They say that in the Navy, the biscuits are mighty fine
One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine

They say that in the Navy, the pancakes are mighty fine
You can try to chew them, but you’re only wasting time

They say that in the Navy, the beds are mighty fine
But how the heck would I know, I’ve never slept in mine
