Текст песни: Armed Services Tribute/Drunken Sailor + перевод

Um, I’m gonna do the tribute to the United States Armed Forces right now

When you start any tribute to the Armed Services you always start with the

Marine Corps

: Why?

Why?

Because by the time you’ve got to the end of it, they’ve understood the first

line

What does a Marine call a helicopter?

Uhh, uhh, bird-uuh

How can you tell a Marine working on an oil rig at sea?

He’s the one throwing bread to the incoming helicopters. «Here, birdy, birdy,

birdy.»

How do ya get a Marine to commit suicide?

Throw a shovel of sand at a brick wall and tell him to «hit the beach!»

Y’know what the word «Marine» stands for?

Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not Essential

Ooh, some Army people over there

What do ya call a Marine with an IQ of 70?

General

How can you tell when a Marine has been using your computer terminal?

White-Out on the screen

Now, you also know that the Marine’s Hymn is the most versatile song written in

the United States because you can sing it to any melody

: Prove it!

You don’t believe me?

: No!

Want some examples?

: Yeah!

Ok, guess you’ll have to settle for 10

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli

We will fight our countries battles in the air, on land, and sea

Or like this:

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli

We will 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 bear the title of United States Marines

Or like this:

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli

We will 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 bear the title of United States Marines

Gung Ho!

*whistles* *whipcrack* Yaah! Urgh!

Gung ho!

We are proud to bear the title of United States Marines

Here’s how they do it in Texas:

From the halls of Montezuma to what’s left of Tripoli

We will 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 bear the title of United States Marines

Traditional Version:

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli

We will 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 bear the title of United States Marines

Semper Fi

And now those Air Force pukes:

Off we go into the wild blue Yonder

Lost again, son of a bitch!

And now the Airborne, first the men who fly the airplanes, the pilots:

The pilot tried to loop-the-loop at zero-zero feet

The pilot tried to loop-the-loop at zero-zero feet

The pilot tried to loop-the-loop at zero-zero feet

He ain’t gonna fly no more!

Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die

Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die

Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die

And now the men and women who jump from those airplanes, Paratroopers, Rangers,

Green Berets. Jumping from perfectly good airplanes with not a thing wrong

with them. And they say Marines were dumb?

There was blood upon the riser, there were brains upon his chute

Intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit

He was a mess, they picked him up and poured him from his boot

And he ain’t gonna jump no more!

Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die

Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die

Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die

He ain’t gonna jump no more!

The Army. Artillery:

Was it high, was it low, where the hell did that one go?

And the caissons go rolling along

The Coast Guard:

I’m Popeye the sailor man

I’m Popeye the sailor man

I fights to the finish 'cause I eats me spinach

I’m Popeye the sailor man

The Navy:

Let’s go get laid, my boys, let’s go get laid…

Nope, something a bit more dignified for the Navy. That’s accurate,

but something more dignified

What shall we do with a drunken sailor

What shall we do with a drunken sailor

What shall we do with a drunken sailor

Early in the morning

Heave-ho and up she rises, heave-ho and up she rises

Heave-ho and up she rises, early in the morning

Shave his belly with a rusty razor, shave his belly with a rusty razor,

shave his belly with a rusty razor

Early in the morning

Heave-ho and up she rises, heave-ho and up she rises

Heave-ho and up she rises, early in the morning

Put him in the bilge and make him drink it

Put him in the bilge and make him drink it

Put him in the bilge and make him drink it

Early in the morning

Heave-ho and up she rises, heave-ho and up she rises

Heave-ho and up she rises, early in the morning

Well make him skipper of the Exxon Valdez

Make him a skipper of the Exxon Valdez

Make him a skipper of the Exxon Valdez

Early in the morning

Heave-ho and up she rises, heave-ho and up she rises

Heave-ho and up she rises, early in the morning

We’ll lock him in a room full of bagpipe music

Lock him in a room full of bagpipe music

Lock him in a room full of bagpipe music

Early in the morning

Heave-ho and up she rises, heave-ho and up she rises

Heave-ho and up she rises, early in the morning

Heave-ho and up she rises, heave-ho and up she rises

Heave-ho and up she rises, early in the morning

Now let’s have a really big round of applause for all of our Armed Services,

they’re always there when we need them. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines,

Coast Guard, National Guard
