JODIES I LEARNED AT TYNDALL Back in my ROTC training days...and then some Last updated: 28 Nov 08 |
My girl's a vegetable She lives in the hospital I would do anything To keep her alive (repeat last two lines at end of each verse) She's got her own TV We call it EKG When I wanna play a joke Pull the cords and watch her choke She's got no arms or legs That's why we call her Peg My girl ain't got no eyes just two sockets full of flies When I wanna play a joke Cross the wires and watch her smoke
Here we go again Same ol' stuff again Marching down the avenue (#) more weeks and we'll be through I won't have to look at you You won't have to look at me Sound off 1,2 Sound off 3,4 Bring it on home now 1,2,3,4,1,2..3,4!
The Air Force Colors (repeat this line for each verse) The color is red To show the world The blood we shed ...The color is white, To show the world, That we can fight ...The color is blue, To show the world, That we are true ...The color is green, To show the world, The war's we've seen ...The color is brown, To show the world, That we get around ...The color is black, To show the world, That we fight back ...The color is me, To show the world, That we are free ...The color is you, To show the world, That you are too ...Red, White, and Blue, To show the world, That we'd fight for you
I woke up about a quarter to one Called into work, this is gonna be fun ...2: First Shirt said, "Shine yer shoes!" ...3: Flight Commander brings in the misery ...4: Crew Commander says to work the Floor ...5: STRATCOM says, "no more pen drives" ...6: quarantined computers that we gotta fix ...7: no new NTOs -- this must be Heaven ...8: pushed HBSS to the base ...9: got my taskers in on time ...10: AFNOC says we have to scan again! ...11: that expired license will need an extension ...12: we do cyber ops and we do it well In AFNetOps, it's another day With 83 NOS leadin' the way!
Here I am before the sun Going on a ___ mile run Stretchin', yawnin', comin' alive I can do it, I got the drive Starting out slow keeping the pace Morning breeze blowin in my face Passing others watching me Wonder what it is they see Do they see my grief and pain They must think I'm insane Or do they see my will and pride Ain't no doubt I got the drive Breath deep, sound off, let em know We're on the move and rarin' to go First Shirt smiling as we pass by We're gonna show him we got the drive Picking up the pace and heading out For blocks around you can hear us shout Come run with us if you'd like to try One things for sure we got the drive If you want to keep pace with me There's one thing you've got to see Drive's important and will is too Makes me best at what I do
Just the other day I heard my CTO say Drive on Eagles..... Drive on Eagles! Drive on Eagles, Eagles drive on! Just the other day I heard the COC say If you wanna be Air Force, you gotta do it my way Drive on Eagles... Drive on Eagles! Drive on Eagles, Eagles drive on! (insert different OICs for each verse! Eagles was my flight at Tyndall I 96)
I don't know why I left But I know i done wrong And it won't be long Till I get on back home I used to date a beauty queen Now i'm flyin' F16s And it won't be long Till I get on back home Chorus Your left your right your left your right Your left your right your out of sight And it won't be long Till we get on back home All I used to shine were shoes Now i'm wearin' Air Force blues And it won't be long Till we get on back home We used to be home havin' fun Now we're here at Tyndall One And it won't be long Till we get on back home
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 gates 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" She replied with a big ol' smile "Sorry, St. Peter, I'm on profile!"
One mile No sweat Two miles Better yet Three miles Gotta run Four miles To the sun
Somewhere there's a woman
She's crying for her man
He's an Air Force pilot
He does the best he can
Refrain: 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 hands
Her son was an Air Force pilot
And he died for his land
I hear the choppers coming
They're flying overhead
They've come to get the wounded
They've come to get the dead
Refrain: Air Force(shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot to kill)
Pilot (shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot to kill) *
My buddy's in a foxhole
A bullet in his head
The Army says he's living
But I know that he's dead
I ran to tell the C-O
About my buddy's head
But when 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
* In this refrain, the unit sings the words in parentheses at the same
time that the leader sings the words in italics. The unit then repeats
the leader's words in the normal manner.
Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot where have you been Around the world and back again Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot how did you go In a C-130, flying low 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 In a black and gold body sack
I don't know why I left
But I must've done wrong
Refrain: And it won't be 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 lookin' down
Ain't no discharge on the ground
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
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 privates, three Beer, beer, beer said the airmen Merry men are we But none so fair that they can compare to the Air Force ROTC 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 sargents, three I need a three-day pass said the sargents Beer, beer, beer said the airmen 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) airmen three see above sergeants three see above MTI's three "file from the left, column right said the TI's" lieuies three "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?"
In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
a beggar bound for college
was roaming in the streets of Spain
and selling hot tamales
Refrain: He said the world was round-oh
He said it could be found-of
The hypothetical navigating son-of-a-gun Colombo
Said Isabel to Ferdinand
his plan sounds mighty hazy
said Ferdinand to Isabel
I think the sucker's crazy!
Let 'em blow let 'em blow Let the four winds blow Let 'em blow from east to west The US Air Force is the best Standing tall and looking good Ought to march in Hollywood Hold your head and hold it high ___ Flight is marching by Close your eyes and hang your head We are marching by the dead Look to your right and whadta see? A whole bunch of legs looking at me Dress it right and cover down Forty inches all around Nine to the front, six to the rear That's the way we do it here
Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon She wore it in the springtime, in the merry month of May And if you asked her why the heck she wore it She wore it for that Air Force pilot who was far, far away Refrain: Far away! Far away! She wore it for that soldier who was far, far away. Around the block she pushed a baby carriage... Around her thigh she wore a yellow garter... Behind the door her daddy kept his shotgun... In the church the preacher kept a license...

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 (group ends this line with home, stretched out over 8 paces, and a "Hey" on the right foot to end the refrain) 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 bed's 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 coffee's mighty fine It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine They say that in the Air Force, the chicken's mighty fine One jumped off the table and killed a friend of mine They say that in the Air Force, the toilets are mighty fine You flush them up at seven, they come back up at nine.

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 Up in the morning 'fore the break of day I don't like it, no way Eat my breakfast too damn soon Hungry as a hound dog, 'fore noon Up in the morning at the break of day Working so hard we never play Running through the jungle where the sun don't shine All I do is double time Up in the morning and out of the rack Grab my clothes and put them on my back Running cross the desert in the shifting sand Drill Sergeant, look, I'll give you a helping hand Up in the morning with a whistle and a yell I know that voice and I know it well Drill Sergeant says you better hit the floor And don't be walking going out the door I like women and I like wine But all I do is double time Double time here and double time there Man this life, it's the best anywhere

Way up north where it gets real cold The people there don't have any gold So they make their living Off the skins of baby seals But me I love the killin' Because it's so fulfillin' Oh how I hate to see a baby seal grow old! Chorus: Don't bludgeon a seal 'cause you need a meal Just do it cause you wanna hear that little creature squeal So kick it in the head And do it just for kicks And you poke it in the eyes with your eye poking sticks! My father he was really mean My mother just a bit obscene I guess that's the reason Why I feel the way I feel My kids and dog they hate me My wife she wants to leave me I guess i'll take it out on the baby seal! Chorus
