They Say That in the Army Military Cadence Army Marching Cadence

 

They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine

One jumped off the table and started marking time

Oh Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go home (stomp)

They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine

It looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine

They say that in the Army, the biscuits are mighty fine

One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine

They say that in the Army, the meat is mighty fine

Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine

They say that in the Army, the shoes are mighty fine

You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine

They say that in the Army, the pancakes are mighty fine

You can try to chew them, but you're only wasting time

They say that in the Army, the bed's are mighty fine

But how the hell would I know, I've never slept in mine

They say the in the Army, the mail is so great

Today I got a letter dates 1948

They say that in the Army, the hours are just right

Start early in the morning and work on through the night

They say that in the Army, the buses are mighty fine

One went round the corner, and left three wheels behind

They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine

It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine

They say that in the Army, the toilets are mighty fine

You flush them up at seven, they come back up at nine

They say that in the army, the tents are waterproof

You wake up in the morning and you're floating on the roof
