Got this idea from another discussion.  Post your funny, gross or serious cadence here.

Airborne airborne whats the word, were gonna jump from the big iron bird.

C130 rollin down the strip, Recon daddy gonna take a little trip.
Stand up, buckle up, shuffle to the door, jump right out and count to four.

Momma told Johnny not to go downtown
The Marine Corps Recruiter was hanging around
Johnny wouldnt listen and he went anyway
to hear what the recruiter had to say
recruiter asked johnny what he wanted to be
Johnny said Marine Corps infantry
Johnny got shipped off to Vietnam
to go and kill the yellow man
he killed 100 men with his rifle and blade
God only knows how many lives he saved
Johnny was bad and he was brave
johnny jumped on a hand grenade
before he died this is what he said
to tell his momma when he was dead
he said momma momma dont you cry
the Marine Corps motto is SEMPER FI!

The mods on this site totally suck,  I complained to Goat, but he don't give a fuck!

Went something like this "Running thru the jungle with a stick in my hand, meanest M#$%erF%$#er all across the land".  SFC Barnes, one of our "Smokes" sang this in Ft Stewart on every one of our morning runs.  Great cadence for running, it got everyone pumped up for the last mile of the run.

Down in Mississippi
Near New Orleans
Lived a bad motherfucker
Named Alligator Green

Alligator green drive a GTO
Listen to rock and roll on the radio

Alligator said that before he died,
Just five things that he want to ride

Bicycle, tricycle, automobile,
A fat assed chick on a ferris wheel

He lined a hundred women up against the wall
Bet a thousand dollars he could fuck'em all
Fucked 98 'til his balls turned blue
Backed up, jacked off, fucked the other two

WAR PIGS, that Black Sabbath tune is a great running cadence especially if the cadence caller is good.  Sounds great with a 150+ guys screaming it.

Good so far but there's got to be more than this.

POST YOUR FAVORITE RUNNING CADENCES!

(badeffect, i have to call cadence on a 5 mile run tomorrow, and I've NEVER run to a cadence.  If you'd alter the title of your thread, I'd appreciate it...!)

m16 and a riot shotgun
going to McDonalds for some some
put the waitress on her knees
do with her as you please
if you really what a thrill
put the cooks face on the grill
Ronald McDonald... he must die
shove a McStraw in his eye

Anyone know the one gunny does in FMJ. The one you can't hear the words to?

I'll help you out, here's one you could probably use:  The beginning gets everyone in step.  As you can see, cadence is called on the Left foot.

Eft, eft, eft right lay-eft
Low righty lay-eft
eft right lay-eft
Low right oh lay-eft
efty right oh left
Mamma and pappa were layin' in bed
mamma rolled over an this is what she said
Ah give me some!
ah give me some!
PT!
PT!
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Good for you
Good for me
Everyday
PT
One mile
No good
Two mile
No good
Three mile
Warmin' up
Four mile
Gettin' better
Five mile!
That's it
Five mile
No sweat
Every day!
PT
etc, etc...

I don't know what type of people you'll be around but this is a good generic cadence and won't piss people off by yelling about killing babies and rape, pillage, and plundering.

Model A Ford and a tank full of gas, mouth full of pussy and a hand full of ass.

Dont let your dinalingle dangle in the dirt, pick up your dingaling and tie it to your shirt.

Lo Ri Lay-oh

Lef Ri a Lay-oh

a Lah Ri Lay-oh

A Lefty Right-a Lo

Mamma and a Papa was a lyin in bed.....

I like the Firesign Theatre's cadence:

You ain't got no friends on the Left (You're Right!)
You ain't got no friends on the Right (You're Left!)
Hound dog (One two)
Poontang (Tree Frog)
Hound dog, poontang, coontown (I'se white!)

www.firesigntheater.com/chat/logs/fstchat_20030424.html

From my late great father - former ranger, former POW in Korea and joyful participant in Vietnam.

And it goes a little something like this:

I left my gal a way out west,
thought this army life was best,
now she's someone else's wife,
and I'll be marching the rest of my life......

or:

I don't know but I've been told,
eskimo pussy is mighty cold.

Jarhead, jarhead, where ya been?
Down in the galley, drunk on gin.
Jarhead, jarhead, what'd you do?
Punched out the first mate, threw up on him too.

Quoted: Dont let your dinalingle dangle in the dirt, pick up your dingaling and tie it to your shirt.

I had forgot about that one, too funny!

<insert a few "left right a lei o's" or "Lo righta lay o's" as needed between below verses>

My granddaddy was a horse marine
everything he wore was marine corps green
he ate his steaks eight inches thick
and picked his teeth with a guidon stick

when my granddaddy was seventy one
he did his PT just for fun

When my granddaddy was seventy two
he ran his PT better than you

when my granddaddy was seventy three
he lead the PT for the infantry

when my granddaddy was seventy four
he got infected by a phillipine whore

my granddaddy turned seventy seven
the year he died and went to heaven

when my granddaddy was seventy eight
he was side-straddle-hoppin through the pearly gates

by the time ole' grandpa was seventy nine
he had ole' JC doublin' time

---------------------------------------------

Not really a cadence, but more of a marching jodie . . .

To the tume of "The Candy Man"


Who can take a baby
Put it in his bed?
whip out his crank and fuck the soft spot in his head
the S&M man

Oh the S&M man
he's the only one who can
he makes the hurtin' feel good

Who can take your Grandma
and a lead pipe?
shove 'tween her ears and ride her like a bike
the S&M man

Oh the S&M man
he's the only one who can
he makes the hurtin' feel good

Who can take a baseball
shove it in her crack?
make her pitch a curve when you beat her with a bat
the S&M man

Oh the S&M man
he's the only one who can
he makes the hurtin' feel good

Those were good days

_Disconnector_

or....

C130 rollin down the strip
recon daddy gonna take a little trip
stand up, hook up, and shuffle to the door
jump right out and shout marine corps

if I die in a combat zone
box me up and ship me home
pin my medals on my chest
and tell my girl I did my best

lay my body six feet down
until you hear it hit the ground
I bet five dollars up to this day
when it hits the bottom you'll hear me say...

I wanna be a drill instructor
I wanna cut off all of my hair

I wanna be a drill instructor
I wanna wear that "smokey bear"

or....


my girls a vegetable
she lives in a hospital
and I'd buy her anything to keep her alive

she's got no arms or legs
all she's got are hooks and pegs
and I'd buy her anything to keep her alive

she's got her own t.v.
they call it an EKG
and I'd buy her anything to keep her alive

she wears a diaper on her ass
and eats her steaks from a glass
and I'd buy her anything to keep her alive

Up from a sub sixty feet below
SCUBA to the surface and I'm ready to go

Breast stroke and side stroke and swim to the shore
I hit the beach and I'm ready for war

Grease gun and K-Bar by my side
These are the tools that will make men die!

I know what you mean.  15 years ago today we left forming and picked up our regular Drill Instructors at MCRD San Diego.  That's a day forever etched in my memory!

Hell, I'm so motivated right now I need to find a copy FMJ or Heartbreak Ridge.

I wanna be an Air Force Pilot
I want to fly an F-16
I wanna fly with the canopy open
So I can hear the Iraqis scream

My AIT was at Ft Gordon which was a lot of techie/crypto kind of stuff.  Our cadence went something like this:

C130 rolling down the strip
Crypto-Ranger on a one-way trip
Stand up, hook up, fall back to the floor
Ain't no way I'm going out that door

Cause I'm Crypto ...
Ranger ....
Far from ...
Danger

Down by the water where nobody goes,
sat a pretty young girl without no clothes.
Along came a jarhead swingin a chain,
he sat down beside her and he started to sing.
Singin lo righty layo
etc etc

He said I was out to sea for over 6 months,
I gotta get some lovin or I'm gonna bust.
Yer the cutest thang I ever did see,
come on a do some bends and thrusts with me

singin lo righty layo
etc etc

Well he got some lovin and all was well,
but three months later she started to swell.
Six months, Nine Months and out it came,
A tiny little jarhead swingin a  chain



Runnin through the desert with our M16s
We're hard chargin devil dog United States Marines
We take our rifles and we aim them well,
sending all them raghead bastards straight to hell.


I was on patrol near a little gooner town,
the next thing I know we were hittin the ground.
Machine gun bullets flyin all around my head,
I said  s**t muthaf**ka cause I thought I was dead.
I took a look around and what did I see?
A little gooner sniper shootin at me.
Along came the gunny with the WP
and blew that muthaf**ka right outa the tree.

Bigfeet

this was my favorite from last summer at Knox:

C-130 Rolling down the strip.
Airborne ranger on a one-way trip.  
Mission unspoken, destination unknown.
They don't even know if they'll ever come home.

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 my by side.
If that one don't fail me too.
Look out ground, I'm a comin through!

Pin my medals upon my chest,
and bury me in the front leaning rest.
When I get to heaven.
St. Peter's gonna say.
How'd you earn your livin?
How'd you earn your pay?
And I will reply with a little bit of anger:
Earned my pay as an Airborne Ranger

Ranger!
Danger!

He-ey-ey Army
Tank drivin army
Roll on out and follow me
I'm the US Navy

Hey-ey-ey Air Force
High flyin Air Force
Take your planes and follow me
I'm the US Navy

Hey-ey Marine Corps
Hard core Marine Corps
Grab your rifle, follow me
I'm the US Navy

He-ey-ey Navy
World's strongest Navy
Get aboard and follow me
I'm the Naval Academy

--Picked it up at NASS

Here I sit all broken hearted,
try to shit but only farted,
Later on I took a chance,
try to fart and shit my pants.  

Got a letter in the Mail...

Said "Go to War or Go to Jail"...

And it won't Beee Lo-ong...

'TILL I get back home

Could you all PLEASE post the titles to these candences if you know them, so that we will be able to search and D/L them!!

I hate all those "my <insert your MOS> is highspeed" cadences.  In my unit were generally change cadences a bit to make fun of the existing stuff.  Since we're in the 82nd, we basically rip the airborne cadences all morning.. especailly that "c-130 rolling down the strip..." crap.

Heres one I heard yesterday I liked...

A-10 A-10 flying high
drop that napalm from the sky.
See those kids by the river
drop some napalm watch them quiver.
Napalm sticks to kids!
Napalm sticks to kids!
See those kids by the lake
drop some napalm watch them bake.
Napalm sticks to kids!
Napalm sticks to kids!
See those kids the hut
shove some napalm up their butt!
Napalm sticks to kids!
Napalm sticks to kids!

Y'all run pretty slow.
Most of those posted are marching cadences.
Marching cadences are better, but you need running cadences more.
Its been a while.  Lets see...

When I get to Heaven,
St. Peter he will say
How'd you earn your livin boy
How'd you earn your pay

I replied with a little bit of anger
Made my livin as an airborne ranger

When I get to hell
Satin he will say
how'd you earn your living boy
how'd you earn your pay

I replied with a burst to the chest
Made my livin putin souls to rest

When I get to hell
Satin he will say
how'd you earn your living boy
how'd you earn your pay

I replied punch to his face
made my livin putting hajis in this place  (used to be commies, but we plum out of commies)

jesse james said before he died
Name five things that he wanted to ride
bicycle, tricycle automobile
Bull legged woman and a ferris wheel

A is for airborne
I is for in the sky
R is for rough and tough
B is for born to fly (or die, your pick)
O is for on the Go
R is for Ranger
N is for never quit
E is for everyday

Cause I'm airborne
All the way

Saw an old lady walkin' down the street
She had a ruck on her back, jungle boots on her feet
Hey old lady where you going to?
US Army Ranger School
hey old lady, ain't you been told?
Ranger schools for the brave and the bold
Hey little shit (or young puck, ifyou are more politically correct) who you talkin' to?
I'm an RI at the Ranger school


Saw an old lady walkin' down the street
She had a pack on her back, jump boots on her feet
Hey old lady where you going to?
US Army Airborne School
hey old lady, ain't you been told?
Airborne schools for the brave and the bold
Hey little shit (or young puck, ifyou are more politically correct) who you talkin' to?
I'm a black hat at the Airborne school

Saw an old lady walkin' down the street
She had a tank on her back, fins on her feet
Hey old lady where you going to?
US Navy SCUBA School
hey old lady, ain't you been told?
SCUBA schools for the brave and the COLD
Hey little shit (or young puck, ifyou are more politically correct) who you talkin' to?
I'm the master diver at the SCUBA school

Saw an old lady walkin' down the street
She had a rope on her back, VBs on her feet
Hey old lady where you going to?
US Army NORWAR School
hey old lady, ain't you been told?
NORWAR schools for the brave and the cold
Hey little shit (or young puck, ifyou are more politically correct) who you talkin' to?
I'm an instructor at the NORWAR school

You can make these up for any school you want.
These are the ones I went to.

Everybody knows C-130.
Best kind of cadences are the one you sing on the fly, based on what you see and whats going on.
Takes some talent.

Two old ladies were lyin in bed
One rolled over to the other and said,
I wanna be an Airborne Ranger
Live the life of guts and danger
Airborne Ranger, guts and danger
I wanna be SCUBA Diver
Swim down in that muddy water
SCUBA Diver, Muddy Water
I wanna be a Mountain climber
Climb that mountain, higher and higher
mountain climber, higher and higher
I wanna be a forest ranger
chipmonks are my only danger
forest ranger, chipmonk danger
I wanna be a paramedic
Shoot me up with anasthetic
paramedic, anasthetic

You do a roll call of all the ones you called previously and always start with the "Two old ladies line"
this will take some more time.

1,2,3, and a quarter
i got a date with a generals daughter
1, 2,3 and a blister
I got blown by the COs sister (Use this one with caution)

this should be enough to get you in trouble.  Some marching cadences you can run to if you change the tune.

Up in the morning b'fore the break of day
I don't like it, no way
Eat my breakfast too damn soon
Hungry as hell, by noon
Went to the mess sgt on my knees
sayin' mess sgt, mess sgt, feed me please
Mess sgt says with a big ole' grin
If you wanna be airborne, ya gotta be thin.

Be prepared to forget half of all the cadences you think you know when you start running.

Quoted: Could you all PLEASE post the titles to these candences if you know them, so that we will be able to search and D/L them!!

Cadences have titles?

let me add some... since the base version of this has allready been posted I'll give a modification.  We used to run past the 2/75 every morning at Ft Lewis this is what we sang.

'nother fuckin' C130 rollin down the strip
wheel fell off and the mother fucker flipped
64 rangers where trapped in side
couldn't tell their momma how they died
clutching each other like a bunch of fags
couldn't even get 'em in the body bags

R is for realy stupid
A is for asinine
N is for nitwit
G is for goofball
E is for everyone
R is for rejects

give a litle boy a goofy hat
hit'em in the head with a baseball bat
make 'em buy a red ford ranger
then you've got an airborne ranger

I don't want to be an airborne ranger
I don't want to cut off all of my hair
I wanna live a life of sex and danger
then don't become an airborne ranger

We allways had plenty of fights at the snackbar between the barracks

Great stuff!

Two of my faves....

When I go to heaven
St. Peter He will say
How did you earn your living?
How did you earn your pay?
My reply was with a little bit of thunder,
Earned my living, killing down under!

When I go to bars
The girls they will say
How did you earn your living?
How did you earn your pay?
My reply was with a cool kinda nod,
Earned my living killing Commies for my God!

When I go ho-ome
The hippies they will say
How did you earn your living?
How did you earn your pay?
My reply as I pulled out my knife,
Get outta my way before I take your life!
