THE 2011 BOASWSAIN PARODY!

This was inspred at camp, HMCS Ontario, so I brought it home, hmmed and hawwed, and now I wrote it!
*Please take with humor.*

Tyin' Off

Wake up in the morning at 6 am
Grab my PT gear and tilly, Gotta make my bed
Before I leave brush my teeth with a bottle of Coke™
‘Cause when I leave for the Canex I am goin’ broke

I’m talking about
Running shoes on my toes, toes
Uniform as my clothes, clothes
Chillin’ out with my bros, bros

Do-do-do

Getting all ready for CD’s
Dancing at the parties
Tryin’ not to get to dizzy….

Don’t stop, marchin’ hot
PO’s blow my feet up
Tonight, hit the rack
Afore' my division comes back
Tyin’ off at the dock
But the marchin’ don’t stop now
Yo-yo-yo-ho
Yo-yo-yo-ho

Don’t stop, marchin’ hot
PO’s blow my feet up
Tonight, hit the rack
Afore' my division comes back
Tyin’ off at the dock
But the marchin’ don’t stop now
Yo-yo-yo-ho
Yo-yo-yo-ho

Now here on the water we’ve got plenty of shears
Got no starch on my gunshirt but I’m already here
Now the GT’s linin’ up ‘cause the hear we’ve got whalers
But we kick them to the curb unless they’re actually sailors

I’m talking about everybody getting wet, wet,
People I just met, met,
Forget about those jets, jets,

Do-do-do

Now we march till’ drop, drop
Or the PO’s tell us to stop, stop
PO’s tell us stop…

Don’t stop, marchin’ hot
PO’s blow my feet up
Tonight, hit the rack
Afore’  my division comes back
Tyin’ off at the dock
But the marchin’ don’t stop now
Yo-yo-yo-ho
Yo-yo-yo-ho

Build the team up
Then break it down
The spirit pounds
While we’re marching

With my knees up
Yeah you caught me down
You’ve got that cadence
Now you got the division

Build the team up
Then break it down
The spirit pounds
While we’re marking time

Put my knees up
Put your knees up
Put your knees up

Now the marchin’ don’t start ‘till I fall in

Don’t stop, marchin’ hot
PO’s blow my feet up
Tonight, hit the rack
Afore’  my division comes back
Tyin’ off at the dock
But the marchin’ don’t stop now
Yo-yo-yo-ho
Yo-yo-yo-ho

Don’t stop, marchin’ hot
PO’s blow my feet up
Tonight, hit the rack
Afore’ my division comes back
Tyin’ off at the dock
But the marchin’ don’t stop now
Yo-yo-yo-ho
Yo-yo-yo-ho

RD.  ;D :camo:
 
I like it!

Anybody notice that the beat for Tik Tok is 120 paces/minute?  If we want to appeal to the younger crowd, maybe we need to get some CF marching bands to play it in a parade?
 
If a band managed to play a tango (cha cha?) for my wings grad inspection, that can't be too far off  ;D

We actually did one time for fun... But 'Heart of Oak' will rule forever more! EVERYONE'S favourite!

I would never suggest replacing anything.  I just think it might make an interesting addition to the repertoire - similar to when the QUADRA band played the Pink Panther instead of the National Anthem at Colours one morning (backwards day).

As an aside, I always thought it was neat how the band would emerge from the Drill Shed every morning at either QUADRA or ACADIA (perhaps both?) playing Liberty Bell (Monty Python theme).  I was always expecting/hoping to see a giant foot come out of the sky and stomp on them.
