Armed Forces Medley


We'll begin working on this military medley today!


Armed Forces Medley
(arranged by Mr. Barrett)

The Army Goes Rolling Along (The Army)

First to fight for the right, and to build the Nation’s might,
And The Army Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done, Fighting till the battle’s won,
And The Army Goes Rolling Along

Then it’s Hi!   Hi!   Hey! The Army’s on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong! (2, 3, 4, hut, 2, 3)
For where ’er  we go, you will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along (Keep ‘em rolling!)

 Anchors Aweigh (The Navy)

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh
Farewell to college joys we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay!
Through our last night on shore, through swirling foam,
Until we meet once more here’s wishing you a happy voyage home!

 Marine's Hymn (The Marines)

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country’s battles in the air, on land and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean,
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines!

Semper Paratus (The Coast Guard) 

So, here's the Coast Guard Marching song, we sing on land and sea. 
Through surf and storm and howling gale, high shall our purpose be.
Semper Paratus is our guide, our fame our glory, too!
To fight to save or fight to die! Aye! Coast Guard, we are for you!

Air Force Song (The Air Force)

Off we go into the wild blue yonder, climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, at ‘em boys, give ‘er the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, off with one heck of a roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame,

Hey! Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!
