One Mile, No Sweat

One mile no sweat,
Two miles better yet,
Three miles think about it,
Four miles thought about it,
Five miles feeling good like I should.
In my legs,
In my head,
In my chest,
Feeling good,
Super troop.

 Everywhere We Go

Everywhere we go,
People want to know:
Who we are,
Where we come from,
So we tell them,
We are "the Eagles"
Mighty, mighty "Eagles"
Name taking "Eagles"
Hard charging "Eagles"
Ever loving "Eagles"
All the way "Eagles"

Everyday
One mile- no good
Two miles- no sweat
Three miles- better yet

Seven miles- Ranger run
Lot's of fun
All the way
PT- so good

Back to top		 Here We Go Again

Here we go again,
Same old stuff again,
Marching down the avenue,
Six more weeks to do
And we'll be through,
I'll be glad and so will you.
Am I right or wrong?
Chorus: "You're right".
Are we weak or strong?
Chorus: "We're strong".
Sound off
Chorus: "One, Two"
Sound off
Chorus: "Three, Four"
Bring it on down
Chorus: "One, Two, Three, Four, One-Two, Three-four"

C-130

C-130 rolling down the strip
64 Rangers on a one way trip
Mission top secret, destination unknown
They don't know if they're ever coming home

Stand-up, hook-up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four.

If my main don't open wide
I got a reserve by my side.
If that one should fail me too,
Look out below I'm coming through.

Ruck sack, jump boots, and my M-16,
That's all that's going on the jump with me.
Gonna slip to the right and slip to the left,
Slip right down to the PLF.

If I die on the old drop zone,
Box me up and ship me home.
Then tell my girl I did my best,
And bury me in the leaning rest!
Dress me up in my Dress Blues,
Spit-shined jump boots, no straight leg shoes.
Pin my wings upon my chest,
Tell my mom I did my best.

Back to top		 Patch on my Shoulder

Big Red One.
Patch on my shoulder,
Pick up your rifle and follow me,
I am the infantry.

One-oh-one.
Patch on my shoulder,
Pick up your ropes and follow me,
Airborne Infantry.

Eighty-second.
Patch on my shoulder,
Pick up your chute and follow me,
Air assault infantry.

ROTC.
Patch on my shoulder,
Pick up your books and follow me,
Wanna branch infantry.

When I Get to Heaven

 When I get to heaven,
Saint Peter's gonna say,
How'd you earn your money?
How'd you earn your way?
How'd you get to heaven?
How'd you get your wings?
With a little bit of anger,
This is what I'll say.
Earned my way as an
Airborne Ranger.
Livin' a life of Guts and Danger,
Blood, Sweat, Guts, and Danger.
That's the way, of an
Airborne Ranger.

Back to top		 Captain Jack

 Hey, hey Captain Jack,
Meet me down by the railroad track.
With my rifle in my hand,
I'm gonna be a fighting man.
Hey, hey Captain Jack,
Meet me down by the railroad track.
With my suitcase in my hand,
I'm gonna be a travelin' man.
Hey, hey Captain Jack,
Meet me down by the railroad track.
With my car keys in my hand,
I'm gonna be a drivin' man.

My Granny

 When my granny was 91,
She did PT just for fun.
When my granny was 92,
She did PT better than  you.
When my granny was 93,
She did PT better than  me.
When my granny was 95,
She did PT stay alive.
But when my Granny turned 96,
She did PT  just for kicks.
And when my granny turned 97,
She upped, she died, she went to heaven.
She met St. Peter at the pearly gate,
Said, "St. Peter, St. Peter I hope I'm not late."
St. Peter said with a big wide grin,
"Drop down Granny and knock out ten."
Granny replied with a big ole' smile
"Sorry St. Peter, I'm on profile".

 If You Want to be Airborne You Got to be Thin

 Up in the morning before the break of day
I don't like it no way
Eat my breakfast too soon
Hungry as hell before noon
Went to the mess sergeant on my knees
Mess sergeant, mess sergeant, feed me please
Mess sergeant said with a big old grin
"If you want to be airborne, you got to be thin."
Went to the first sergeant on my knees
First sergeant, first sergeant feed me please
First sergeant said with a big old grin
"If you want to be airborne, you got to be thin."
Went to the XO on my kenees
XO, XO feed me please
XO said with a big old grin
"If you want to be airborne, you got to be thin."
Went to the CO on my knees
CO, CO feed me please
CO said with a big old grin
"Get down, boy, and knock out ten."

Saw an Old Lady

Saw an old lady marching down the street

Had a knife in her hand and a 90 lb load

Said “Hey old lady where you goin’ to?”

She said “US Army Ranger School.”

Watcha gonna do when you get there

Jump, swim, and kill without a care

“Hey old lady ain’t you been told?

Ranger School is for the young and the bold”

“Hey now soldier, don’t be a fool,

I’m an instructor at the US Army Ranger School.”

 They Say That in The Army

They say that in the Army the chow is mighty fine
Chicken jumped off the table and started marching time.

Chorus
O how I want to go,
But they won't let me go,
Hooooome, ooooome, ooooome, HEY!

 They say that in the Army the coffee is mighty fine
It looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine.

Repeat chorus
They say that in the Army the money is mighty fine
They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine.

Repeat chorus
They say that in the Army the men are mighty fine
They say they'll take you out to eat, but on C-rats you dine.

Repeat chorus
They say that in the Army the girls are mighty fine
They say you'll find none better, I say they've lost their minds.

  You Can Run But You Can't Hide

When those ships start steaming,
And the radar starts beaming,
When those missiles start flying,
And the jets start striking,

Chorus
We will teach you how to fight.
We will show you all our might.
You can run, but you can't hide.
We will show you how to fight.

When those troops start loading,
And the planes start flying,
When those troops start jumping,
And the tanks start rolling,

Repeat Chorus

When those jets start stroffing,
And the bombers start bombing,
When those troops start landing,
And the Bradleys start rolling,

Repeat Chorus
