Nonie Rider Military Jodies? (142* d) Military Jodies? 26 Sep 97

(Sorry to still be asking dumb newcomer questions)

Has anyone collected or discussed jodies, the unofficial military marching chants?

Most of the people I know seem to have run into variants of the left/right gingerbread repeater:

Left. Left.
I LEFT my WIFE and FORTy-nine KIDS
In a STARVing conDITion withOUT any GINGerbread,
HOPE I did RIGHT. RIGHT.
RIGHT for my COUNtry, by GOLLy,
I HAD a good JOB and I LEFT.
Left. Left. (repeat endlessly)

And most of us have heard the tagline "Napalm sticks to kids!" but no memorable verses to match. A friend also sung me another old one (with an actual TUNE) about the appropriate distribution of a keg of beer through the squadron, but I never got her to write it down.

So, is this stuff all discussed somewhere I shoulda looked, or does anyone have input?
