Subject: RE: Songs You Learned in the Service?
Ha!
That Charlotte the Harlot song got me sent home from grade school back in the early 60's on the first day!
My dad played it a lot, on a 78 party record, I was about seven years old and had no idea what the song was about.

I recognize a couple of the cadence songs here, sung every day by the kids at recess, "coffee taste like iodine", LOL!
We also sang one about Eney Meney Miny Moe, catch a N***** by the toe, if he screams and hollers let him go!
Can't imagine that being tolerated today!
Again, the words had no meaning, it was just a ditty for jump rope.

I doubt kids sing anything with a military history today, just rap crap and mindless junk from the top ten.
