Thread Name: Marching song/Cadence Count
Subject: RE: Marching song
GUEST, at 3:11 a.m., had it almost right, but here's the official version, as we chanted it almost seventy years ago:

Left!
Left!
Left my wife and forty-nine children
Home in the kitchen,
In starving condition
With nothing but gingerbread
Left!
Left!
(etc., etc., ad nauseam
