Found the lyrics of one of the songs on there.

I hope it is allowed to post them here.

If not, please delete or move it to the appropriate place.

Thanks.

 

“What Do You Do in the Infantry?â€

What do you do in the infantry? You march; you march; you march.

What do you do when your pack has got your back as stiff as starch.

This is a mechanized war they say. That saying is sure a bust

Cause all that you see in the infantry is one another’s dust.

 

What do you do in the infantry? You hike; you hike; you hike.

What do you do in the infantry? You left and right all night.

Everyone else can ride a jeep or fly up in the sky.

But there’s nothing to ride in the infantry; you’re just a tired guy.

 

The hard way, hard way, sweat till you get there the hard way.

 

What do they say in the infantry? They squawk and squawk and squawk.

All about miles and miles and miles that they have had to walk.

They march across the ocean and that’s quite a trick to do.

But don’t forget the Air Core has done some marching to.

 

What do you do in the ground crew? You’re always fixin’ planes.

Never a chance to sleep and dream of beautiful GI Jane’s.

You’re packing a hole in the fuselage and loading the bomber sticks.

What do you do in the ground crew? You fix and fix and fix.

 

What do you do in the air core when the flak begins to scream?

How can you duck when the bombardiers say steady on the beat?

How can you dig a foxhole or jump behind a tree?

Wouldn’t you love to march away just like the infantry?

 

The soft way, the soft way; try to crash land, brother, the soft way.

 

What do you do when your gas is gone, and you’re flying a Thunderbolt?

You with the silk can say a prayer and land with an awful jolt.

You drop in a jungle and wrench your back; you’re thinking of giving up.

And what do you mumble crawlin’ back?

 

Hup two three four; Hup two three four!

 

Erwin
