Walkin' down the street one day
I met a total stranger
He said he'd make a man of me
So I became a Ranger
Chorus:
Airborne (S: Shoot the son of a, shoot the son of a, shoot the son of a whoo!)
Rangers lead the way (S: Shoot the son of a, shoot the son of a, shoot the son of a whoo!)
I hear the choppers hoverin'
They're hoverin' overhead
They've come to get the wounded
They'll never leave the dead
Chorus
My buddy's in a foxhole
With a bullet in his head
The medic says he's wounded
But I know that he's dead
Chorus
Sittin' in a foxhole
Sharpenin' my knife
When up jumps the enemy
I had to take his life
Chorus
I walk among the dying
I see a friend or two
And I know the next one
The next one could be me
Chorus
Follow Me
Eighty second
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your chutes and follow me
Airborne Infantry
One-oh-one
Screamin' Eagles
Pick up your weapon and follow me
Air Assault Infantry
Big Red One
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your weapon and follow me
Mechanized Infantry
Seventy Fifth
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your weapon and follow me
Airborne Ranger Infrantry
They Say That in The Army...
They say that in the Army the chow is mighty fine (S: Who said that?)
A chicken jumped off the table and started marking time
Chorus
Oh, Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Home, hey!
They say that in the Army the coffee is mighty fine (S: Who said that?)
It looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine
Chorus
They say that in the Army the pay is might fine (S: Who said that?)
They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine
Chorus
They say that in the Army the women are mighty fine (S: Who said that?)
They look like Freddy Krueger and walk like Frankenstein
Chorus
