First Line: "the infantry, the infantry, with the dirt behind their ears"
Last Line: They couldn't lick the infantry in a hundred thousand years
Subject(s): Army - United States
The Infantry, the Infantry, with the dirt behind their ears,
The Infantry, the Infantry, that laps up all the beers;
The Cavalry, Artillery, and the Goddamned Engineers
They couldn't lick the Infantry in a hundred thousand years.
