THE FIVE-A-DAY CADENCE CALL

Crawled to the chow hall
On my knees
Said Mess Sergeant, Mess Sergeant
Feed me please

Before you do, hey
Here's the deal
I don't want no more
Happy meals!

Greasy eggs and
Greasy fries
Are you tryin'
To make me die?

Talkin' chicken and
Walkin' steak
Coal black coffee
Keeps me awake

Rubber biscuits
That I can't chew
I'm bone tired
Before I'm through!

Listen Sergeant
That ain't all
Stop chokin' me with
Cholesterol!

I got to eat but
There's no way
Unless I get me
Five-A-Day!

That's the chow
That makes me strong
Keeps me up where
I belong!

Five-A-Day
What the heck is that?!
Fruits and veges
Ain't no fat!

I need 'em mornin'
Noon and night
They keep me strong and
Help me fight!

So if you want
To earn your pay
You've got to give me
Five-A-Day!

The Mess Sergeant smiled
His crooked grin
Five-A-Day Son
I'll give you ten!

He was motivated!
He was dedicated!
To the Corps!
Your Corps!
Our Corps!
Hard Corps!
Marine Corps!

Semper Fi!
Ooh Rah!
Marine Corps!
Ooh Rah!
Five-A-Day!
Every day!
Good chow!
Umm Boy!
