Guest,

Thanks for the words to this rhyme.

The children's rhymes I've collected and some of the verses of this military cadence have close similarities, particularly the beginning two lines and the lines "they took away my MTV"=kid's version and "they took away my gun/wheels.."= military version.

The folk tradition is alive and well!
