Tune: Battle of New Orleans Written by James Morris
In 1940 we took a little trip.
Me and George S. Patton headed down to Mississipp.
We shot our main guns till the barrels melted down.
then we grabbed a couple legs and we went a couple rounds.
Cause we’re mentally able and we’re physically fit.
And if you ain't Armor you ain't sh_t!
Fort Knox Streets
Created by: SFC (p) Ralph Lowell Coleman
(1980, 194th Armored Brigade)
I don't know but I've been told,
Fort Knox streets are paved with gold.
I don't know, it may be true...
If it is here's what I'll do:
Take my shovel, dig that gold;
Take it where old gold is sold.
Buy myself an aero-plane;
Soon I'll be back home again.
Walkin' down the street so fine,
MPs gonna blow their minds
Yellow Ribbon

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She’d say she wore it for her TANKER who was far, far away
(chorus) Far away, Far away
She wore it for her TANKER who was far, far away
Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she pushed it
She’d say she pushed it for her TANKER who was far, far away
(chorus) Far away, Far away
She pushed it for her TANKER who was far, far away
Behind the door, her father kept a shotgun
He kept it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck he kept it
She’d say he kept it for her TANKER who was far, far away
(chorus) Far away, Far away
Jesse James

Jesse James said before he died
There’s five things that he wanted to ride:
Bicycle, tricycle, automobile
An M-1 Tank and a Ferris wheel
Jesse James said in his final will
He had five things that he wanted to kill
A lion, a tiger, a kangaroo
A long haired hippie, and drug dealer too
And if he could kill just one
He’d kill the drug dealer, let the hippie run

Rollin down the tank trail kickin’ up dust,
TC’s on the Fifty raising a fuss,
I said hey TC, what the big deal?
I got a grunt rollin’ through my front roadwheel.
Cause there’s two things that I can’t stand
It’s an M4 and an infantryman.
And everyone knows that grunts aint shit.
Cause we’re mentally able and we’re physically fit
If you aint Armor then you aint shit.
