SOLDIER SONG (4) by ANONYMOUS

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.
