About I Used To Sit.....USMC

I used to sit at home all day,

Letting my life a waste away.

Then one day a man in blue,

Said son I got a job for you,

Theres travel and adventure and loads of fun,

And well even teach you how to shoot a gun.

Theres room and board and a plate of food,

And a brand new tailored business suit.

I used to drive a Bonneville,

Now all I do is run up a hill.

I used to drive a Chevrolet,

Now all I do is sleep in the hay.

I used to drive a Cadillac,

Now all I do is hump a pack.

Lo Right a Leaft

Left Right Right your Lefty Right your Left.

Left Right your Left

Lefty Right your Left

Left Right your Leaft.

Lefty Righty Lo

or

I used to sit at home all day,

A letting my life just waste away.

Then one day a man in blue,

said "Kid I got the job for you!".

Free room and board with paid up boots,

and a brand new teller business suit.

There's trouble and adventure and loads of fun.

You'll even learn to shoot a gun.

Pre medical and dental benefits,

and light weight aluminum camping kits.

Athletic events to keep your body tight,

Eight hours of sleep each night.

"Believe me kid" he said with a grin,

sign these papers and I'll get you right in.

As I got on the bus he winked with his eye,

I never knew a man could be so sly.

I'm not complaining don't get me wrong,

I've enjoyed myself growing big and strong.

But two things the recruiter didn't promise me,

One rose garden and a cup of tea.
