"Little yellow birdie with a little yellow bill,
Landed on my windowsill;
Lured him in with a crust of bread,
And then I smashed his little yellow head!"

The moral of
this story is
if you want some H&ad,
you need some bread......

[hurly]

When in danger, when in doubt,
Run in circles, scream and shout
RAAAANNGGGEEERR

[Major Retired]

One or two I remember from the Hawaiian Infantry Training Center in 1951 goes like this:

"Little birdie in the sky
drop some white stuff in my eye"
"sound off...1, 2...sound off...3, 4...cadence count
1,2,3,4...1,2...3,4.

"I don't know but I been told
eskimo p***y is mighty cold"

"sound off...1, 2...sound off...3, 4...cadence count
1,2,3,4...1,2...3,4.

"Jody was there when you left...You're right
Jody was there when you left...You're right

"sound off...1, 2...sound off...3, 4...cadence count
1,2,3,4...1,2...3,4.

It's called "Blood Upon The Risers". And it is sung to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

I remember a Jody from Navy Officer's Candidate School (Class 201).

She was alot more fun than what you guys are talking about.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Here's one for when the deployment or training event is almost over. Let's say it's six days until whatever it is is over.

Six More Days and I'll be home, Babe, Babe

He's Bill Clinton.

Exactly, the long haired maggot version. He doesn't have the long hair anymore, but he's still the same old maggot.

Of course he didn't get your gal, he got Hillary, so to some extent, the joke was on him. :)

Jesse james before he died
Named 3 things that he wanted to ride
Bicycle tricycle automobile
A bowlegged lady on a Ferris Wheel
I like it I like it I like it
I love it I love it I love it

Further to your Jody:

If I die on the old drop zone

Box me up and ship me home.

Pin my wings upon my chest.

Bury me in the leaning rest.

And yes, I was one.

[Steve Newton]

YES''

I remember that one. You all are a wealth of history.

Blessings
