Caidence, and faces

I told this story to a Army National Gaurd Sgt. reserve.. and he claim we could have never sung these...

 We had an occasional cc/ chief who lead us in cadence , he was of African American Decent I remember.. He would begin, holding a boom box, loudly playing the 70' s pop song "Car Wash". We moved fast in step. He would then begin with this cadence, I know you ain't no volunteers, the DRAFT BOARDS gone and sent you here! So Sound off, Sound off, 1-2-3-4--1---2! Hard Tack , Biscuts Navy Beans, Ain't your mommas cook'n you been weaned.. so Sound OFF Sound OFF 1-2-3-4- 1 ---1---2! So if your Yeoman is a fag, let me hear that Left foot Drag...!  I Don't know but I been told Double OH Six is Good as Gold..... My national gaurd sgt coughed.. and repeated some song about Phillis Diller. he learned. a couple of years ago.. Our's was a different. time.
