Navy Fight Song / George D. Lottman

"Chancres Away!"

Parody Written by:

The Comedian

The Lyrics

A "chancre" (pronounced "shanker") is a sore symptomatic of syphilis.
Ho, sailors!
Shore-leave time!
Drink bottles dry!

Take your pen-i-cil-lin
So vicious clap
Steers shy-y-y-y!

Roll on the Trojans, boys!
Chancres away!

Nail one for victory,
And drink yourself
Drunk as a skunk,
Hooray!


Chancres away,
My boys!
Chancres away!

Farewell
To syphilis
We all wear
Latex
Pro-phy-lac-tics

Through
Our last night on shore,
Whore,
Drink,
And roam!

March through
That sickbay door -
Show Doc-tor your
Shore-leave-beleaguered
Bone!

Thanks Guy, and thanks, 2nz! ARRRHH !!

Here's a MIDI file of music for "Anchors Aweigh!" .... the MIDI's melody is almost hidden by the electronic "tuba" sound, but if you listen carefully you can hear the melody:

"Anchors Aweigh!" free audio sample by a marching band - much better than the "MIDI" file:

Thanks, 2nz and Jack!

And 2nz - why yes, of course I own pants.

Really, you don't seem to be wearing any when you get your inspirations lately: 'Another Kick in the Balls' 'Chancres Away' 'Creamed Beaver' 'Gung-Ho for the Bung Hole' 'Habanero' 'I Wanna Probe Your Gland' 'Inflatable Woman' 'My Keister's Sore' 'Stacked Plastic Woman' and my personal favorite 'I Choked the Sheriff'. And that's just from the first month and a half of 2004. But hey, maybe it's just me... :cp

That comma after 'Really' should be a question mark, for the sake of being anal about my below-the-belt point.

2nz, I assure you, when I work at my computer in the privacy of my home, I am attired appropriately for someone who cannot be seen by anybody but his wife.

As for your personal wish to be anal about your below-the-belt point, that's fine for you, butt it's TMI for me, yeeee-HAW !! ;-D
