My sergeant's a satchel-assed bastard
My corporal drinks all of my gin,
My second lieutenant's a fairy,
What a hell of an outfit I'm in.

Bring back, or bring back,
Oh bring back my civvies to me, to me
Bring back, or bring back,
Or bring back my civvies to me.

Take down your blue star from the window,
Replace it with one made of gold,
Your son's in Amphibious Recon,
He'll die ere he's 19 years old.

General Doug'll bring the boys home by Christmas,
Bodies home by Christmas, coffins home by Christmas
But far away on the Korean isthmus,
Our boys lie bleeding, their lives away.

(to the tune of "Little Redwing"

Our right guide's a coke machine, honey, honey
Our right guide's a coke machine, babe. babe
Our right guide's a coke machine,
He's a pogey-bait marine, honey, sugar baby, mine.

Our gunny is a real marine, honey, honey
Our gunny is a real marine, babe, babe,
Our gunny is a real marine,
Brushes his teeth with cosmolene, honey, sugar baby, mine.

The sexual life of the camel,
Is stranger than anyone thinks,
One night in a fit of mad passion,
He attempted to bugger the Sphynx.

Now, the Sphynx's posterior orifice,
Was clogged by the sands of the Nile,
Which accounts for the hump on the camel,
And the Sphynx's inscrutable smile.

Keep a movin' Dan,
It's a devil not a man,
And it roams the empty sand,
For water. Clear cool, water.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive stamped on those lifeless things.
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear.
"My name is Oxymandias. King of Kings;
Look on my works ye mighty and despair.
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that collossal wreck, boundless and bare.
The lone and empty sands stretch far away.

P.B. Shelley

How many times must we tell the tale?
How many times must we fall?
Living in lost memory
You just recalled

Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night

That's when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand
