I always liked "Old King Cole" for marching. I modified it when I was in
1-7 Cav, and, in 1-124th Cav, TXARNG. I also did it on active duty alot.
Good for marching long distances.
Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he uh-huh.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his privates three uh-huh.
"Beer-Beer-Beer" said the privates.
Fighting men are we-ee.
But there's none so fair as can compare to the Texas Cavalry uh-huh.
(Reprise/insert "corporal" for "private)
"How 'bout a three day pass?" said the corporals
(Reprise/insert "sergeants" for "corporals")
"File from the right, colum right." said the sergeants.
(reprise/insert "Looys" for "sergeanats")
"Where the hell are we at?" said the looys.
(reprise/instert "captains for "looys"
"Who's gonna take that hill?" said the captain.
(reprise/insert "majors" for "captains")
"Who's gonna drive my jeep?" said the majors.
(reprise/insert colonels for majors)
"Who's gonna shine my leaves?" said the colonels.
(Reprise/insert "generals" for "colonels")
"Who's gonna do my work?" said the generals.
(Reprise)
BUT THERE'S NONE SO FAIR AS CAN COMPARE TO ONE TWO FOUR CAVALRY UH-HUH!I also liked a cadence a guy made up to "War Pigs" we did in PLDC. It didn't really work, but, we all worked at making it go, just 'cuse it pissed off the SGL.
I also liked
"I'm Your Steam Roller Baby"
That was my favorite marching cadence going through another unit's area
in order to pee on thier lawn.
The stomping and clapping really got people going.
I tried to make a marching one to "The Yellow Rose Of Texas" for
1-124th, but, I laked the rythm.
