A TRIBUTE TO THE ARMED SERVICES

Army:
First to fight for the right, and to build the nation’s might,
And the Army goes rolling along.
Proud of all we have done, fighting till the battle’s won.
And the Army goes rolling along.
Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey! The Army’s on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong: two, three, four,
Hut, two, three!
For where’er we go, you will always know
That the Army goes rolling along.

Marines:
From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli,
We will fight our country’s battles in the air, on land and sea.
First, we fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our honor, clean.
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines.

Coast Guard:
We’re always ready for the call, we place our trust in Thee!
Through howling gale and shot and shell
To win the victory!
Semper Paratus is our guide, our pledge, our motto, too!
We’re always ready, do or die.
Aye! Coast Guard, we fight for you!

Navy:
Anchors aweigh, my boys! Anchors aweigh!
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day!
Through our last night on shore hail to the foam!
Until we meet once more here’s wishing you a happy voyage home!

Air Force:
Off we go into the wild blue yonder, climbing high into the sun.
Here they come, zooming to meet our thunder;
At ‘em boys, give her the gun!

4
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one terrible roar.
We live in fame or go down in flame,
For nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

America, the Beautiful:

America, America, God shed His grace on thee!
[2 measure piano interlude]
O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America, America! May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness, and ev’ry gain divine!
America! America!

A PLACE IN THE CHOIR

REFRAIN
All God’s creatures got a place in the choir.
Some sing low and some sing higher;
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire;
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they’ve got, now.
[repeat REFRAIN]

Solo #1
Listen to the top, where the little bird sings,
And the melodies and the high notes ringin’,
And the hoot owl cries over ev’rything,
And the blackbird disagrees.

Solo #2
Singin’ in the night time, singin’ in the day,
When the little duck quacks and he’s on his way,
And the otter hasn’t got much to say,
And the porcupine talks t’himself.
[repeat REFRAIN]

Solo #3
Dogs and the cats, they take up the middle
Where the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles.
The donkey brays and the pony neighs.
The old gray badger sighs.

5
Solo #4
Listen to the bass: it’s the one on the bottom,
Where the bull frog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big to-do,
And the old cow just goes “moo”.
[repeat REFRAIN]

All Sing This Verse

It’s a simple song, a little song ev’rywhere,
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,
The dopey alligator and the hawk above,
The sly old weasel and the turtle dove.
[repeat REFRAIN twice]

[suddenly slower]: All God’s creatures got a place in the choir!
