Thread Name: Songs You Learned in the Service?
Subject: RE: SONGS YOU LEARNED IN THE SERVICE?
Having some bouts with CRS here of late I can only remember snippets of some songs. One that tells of Ringo, a dog owned by one Peter Murphy, is probably my best remembered tidbit:

Peter Murphy had a dog, Ringo was his name,
Everywhere that dog would go he'd bring poor Peter shame.
He crapped one day in the General's yard, right out on the grass,
When the General stepped in it, he chewed poor Peter's.....,
Ask me how he handled it, all that I will say,
Is Peter don't remember much, but he recalls THAT day!

There are many more choruses where Ringo sniffs up the dress of a WAC officer and many other transgressions. The neat thing is there are no real dirty cuss words. Every tim a word would be expected the next verse starts out with the same syllable and goes into another line.
