THE ROUSE If anyone can oblige, it would help if the nationality, arm of service (and, if necessary the period) were mentioned. Thanks Walrus |

But at West Point, according to Mark Twain, the traditional words were "You can't get 'em up" etc. Mess call: Come and get your beans, boys, Come and get your beans. |

16 Oct 06 - 11:40 AM (#1860391) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bugle Calls From: JohnInKansas In a previous thread on bugle calls it was "discovered" that there are immense differences in the calls used by various countries and even by different services (and at different times) within a single country. It's easy for people to talk about a call in great detail before discovering that they're discussing two (or more) quite different "tunes" and lyrics from various odd ends of the world and from different times. Be cautious ... about assuming ... that you know what someone else thinks you believe you're talking about here. But do carry on. John |

16 Oct 06 - 04:08 PM (#1860647) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bugle Calls From: NH Dave I believe that among UK band members the theme to, The Bridge on the River Kwai is unanimously known as, Ballocks and the Same to You. Taps, the US last bugle call of the day has several diferent sets of lyrics set to it, "Day is done, Gone the sun, From the lake, from the hills, from the sky. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh." being one of the most common. Some British Bugle Calls are available here, while most of the US Army Bugle Calls can be found here. Not to be outdone, the US Air Force Ceremonial Music and Bugle Calls has a number of marches and the AF Band's version of the standard US Bugle Calls. Dave |

16 Oct 06 - 06:56 PM (#1860807) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bugle Calls From: Lighter I may have posted this on a different thread. The old "Rogue's March" in the U.S. Army was Poor old soldier ! Poor old soldier ! He'll be tarred and feathered and sent to hell, Because he would not soldier well. Not a bugle call, but some kind of brief "march" from World War I or earlier, You're in the army now ! You're not behind the plow ! You son of a bitch, You'll never get rich ! You're in the army now ! It must have a genuine title, but I don't know what it is. That's the only verse I've ever heard. |

16 Oct 06 - 07:27 PM (#1860833) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bugle Calls From: Lighter Just remembered, Joe. Mess call: Soupy, soupy, soupy, Without a single bean. Porky, porky, porky, Without a streak of lean. Coffee, coffee, coffe, Weakest ever seen. |

16 Oct 06 - 08:06 PM (#1860862) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bugle Calls From: JohnInKansas "You're In the Army Now" was, IIRC1, the title song for a movie of the same title ca. mid 1940s(?). Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye I believe were the stars. (Can't remember who the girls were, but of course they were cute.) I recall one of the neighbors having sheet music with cast pictures on the front. I can't say whether it was written for the movie or was adapted from an earlier song. 1 At least I think I remember but it was of course a few years ago and I was quite young. John |
