over the years, in this or that movie about war, soldiers, training camps and such, i've seen quite a few scenes of marines jogging in formation, singing a certain kind of song...u know da one i mean?
it always starts with these two lines:
I DON'T KNOW BUT
I'VE BEEN TOLD...
i always enjoyed making up the rest myself...been doing it in my head for ages...
and, finally wrote it down:
i don't know but
i've been told
pizza can be
eaten cold
master sarge
he told us so
'cause we must
eat on da go...
dat's just one thing
our sarge said
one of tons
we won't forget
every day
he tells us more
he's got no clue
dat he's a bore
no one dares
to let him know
'cause he'd kick u
out dat door
it's da way we
spend our time
we're supposed
to like it fine
if u asked me
how i feel
i'd say it's a
damn good deal
soon i'll be
a real marine
and go where
i've never been
meet new folks
'n if they're bad
sarge says we can
shoot'em dead
dat sounds like
a lot of fun
can't wait till
i'll use my gun
'n if i make
it back alive
i'll look u up
so we can jive
i'll have lots of
tales to tell
if u don't like'em
then go to hell
this is all
i've got to say
this song's over
enjoy ur day!
