Johnny Gung Ho

Words by: Unknown

Sung to the tune of "The Thumper", aka the OWPM

Listen to the song with RealPlayer
Requires javascript and audio plug-in

I'm Johnny Gung-Ho
I get a dress off wherever I go
I shine my breast plate up
I write my classmates up
I go to Chapel twice on Sunday

I love to get hazed
Before I go to bed I say "The Days"
And my Tac thinks I'm STRAC
'Cause my girlfriend's a Smack
And my favorite color is Gray

Older variations:
I'm Mister Gung-Ho
I double time wherever I go (And in the Corps there's places I'll go)
I shine my B-plate up
I write my roomate up
I go to Chapel twice on Sunday

I believe in the Haze
Before I go to bed I say "The Days"
And my Tac thinks I'm STRAC
'Cause I'm dating a WAC ('Cause my girlfriend's a WAC)
And my initials are USMA (Here at West Point USMA)


I'm shot in the ass,
I want to be the first man in my class,
Want to shine my bee-plate,
Quill my classmate,
Go to the Chapel every Sunday,

I'm shot in the ass,
Am gonna be the first man in my class,
Grab a tenth, on my toes,
Shine my shoes, brown my nose,
And I'll drive my class at the end!
