Hold your head and hold it high
_______Platoon is marching by
Close your eyes and hang your head
We are marching by the dead
Look to your right and whadta see?
A whole bunch of legs looking at me
Dress it right and cover down
Forty inches all around
Nine to the front, six to the rear
That鈥檚 the way we do it here
Everywhere I go
There鈥檚 a Black hat there
Everywhere I go
There鈥檚 a Black hat there

Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he
He called for his pipe and called for his bowl
And he called for his privates, three
Beer, Beer, Beer said the privates
Merry men are we
But none so fair that they can compare to the airborne infantry
Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl
and he called for his corporals, three
I need a three-day pass said the corporals
Beer, Beer, Beer said the privates
Merry men are we
But none so fair that they can compare to the airborne infantry

Arctic Light Infantry
Wake up to mortar attack
Hit the ground, I鈥檓 out of the rack
My sergeant rushes me off to chow
But I don鈥檛 eat it anyhow
Oh hail, Oh hail, Oh infantry
Queen of battle, follow me
Oh, airborne ranger鈥檚 the life for me
For nothing in this world is free
From a big bird in the sky
All will jump and some will die
Off to battle we will go
To live or die, hell I don鈥檛 know.
Hit the ground with American pride
A bullet through a commie鈥檚 eye
He ought to be damn glad he died
He鈥檇 hate for me to take him alive
It鈥檚 true that some of us will die
Airborne rangers learn to fly
But not today as I hit the ground
Lock and load another round
Over the hill, some men I鈥檝e seen
Head to toe in Army green
Moving tactically, not a sound
Infantry soldiers on the ground
Assault, support are all in place
The enemy unaware of his fate
Claymores blast the 60鈥檚 roar
Again, the airborne ranger scores
Its true that someday I鈥檒l be dead
Before I go I鈥檒l take more heads
Before us enemies all will flee
鈥楥ause we鈥檙e the airborne infantry
I don鈥檛 know why I left
But I must鈥檝e done wrong
And it won鈥檛 be long
鈥楾ill I get on back home
Got a letter in the mail
Go to war or go to jail
Sat me in that barber鈥檚 chair
Spun me around, I had no hair
Used to drive a Cadillac
Now I pack it on my back
Used to drive a limousine
Now I鈥檓 wearing Army green
Dress it right and cover down
Forty inches all around
Nine to the front and six to the rear
That鈥檚 the way we do it here
Used to date a beauty queen
Now I date my M-16
Ain鈥檛 no use in lookin鈥 down
Ain鈥檛 no discharge on the ground
Ain鈥檛 no use in going back
Jody鈥檚 got your cadillac
Ain鈥檛 no use in calling home
Jody鈥檚 got your girl and gone
Ain鈥檛 no use in feeling blue
Jody鈥檚 got your sister too
Took away my faded jeans
Now I鈥檓 wearing Army greens
They took away my gin and rum
Now I鈥檓 up before the sun
Mama Mama can鈥檛 you see
What this Army鈥檚 done to me
Mama Mama can鈥檛 you see
This Army life is killing me
Count cadence
Delay cadence
Skip cadence

Through the desert and across the plains
Steaming jungles and tropic rains
No mortal foe can stop me now

I have honor and I have pride
Winning serves me as my guide

Brings them crashing to their knees
