My son's scout troop does not win their fair share of marching awards
at camp. The scoutmaster called a practice last Friday and I watched
some of it. My analysis is that they do not do cadence calls and,
more specifically, do not do any Jody cadence calls.
My plea to the group is for the best cadence calls that they can
remember and, more specifically, the best Jody cadence calls that they
can remember.
Keep in mind that this is a family friendly environment but, if you
have a really good one, let her fly.

I don't have any authentic cadence calls, Jody or otherwise, but it seems
to me that the thing to do would be to find a scout who can rap, give him
the basic Duckworth chant and let him go. The chant that rises from the
ranks seems to me to be the one that will work best, since that is the one
that will make the proper references and have all the in jokes, make proper
fun of the scoutmaster, refer to the pleasures and trials of camp and so
on. Further, the troop will 'own' that chant. Just an idea.
Get the "Battle of the Bulge" The Sargent sings Jody etc and there
is some cut up as well along the same line. He sings for the last time
at the end of the movie - iirc - as they march out of the war zone and
see fresh troops coming up. The best part is in training..

I wish all little girls were like little red rubies, and I was a
jeweler, I'd play with their boobies,
Chorus:
Chorus: Oh roll your leg over, Oh roll your leg over, Oh roll your leg
over the man in the moon.
I wish all little girls were like Harry S Truman, and I was a voter,
I'd give them a screwing,
Chorus:
I wish all little girls were like little Margaret O'Brien, they're
young and they're sweet, and they're just right for trying,
Chorus:
I wish all little girls were like B-29s, and I was a fighter, I'd buzz
their behinds,
Chorus:
I wish all little girls were like fish in a pool, and I was a bass
with a waterproof tool,
Chorus:
I wish all little girls were like statues of Venus, and I was Apollo
with a petrified penis,
Chorus:
Those are a few that come to mind.
Shades of my misspent youth.
As long as somebody kept buying the beer, I'd keep singing.

ROF,L.
It's not a funny or dirty cadence, but for some reason my favorite remains
to this day Oreo cadence. O-REE-O, OHHHH, YUM. Once heard the entire plebe
class at the Boat School marching to that one. It was impressive.

What may be the problem is the actual count is rendered in something
recognizable as English or, any known human language. As I recall it, the
words were something like 'OWP!' 'OEP!' 'ERP!' and 'URP!'. While the mind
was engaged in trying to decipher this, the feet were doing their job.
Barking like a seal or sea lion is a reasonable approximation of the proper
sounds.
It also helps to scream that someone is out of step and rush into the
formation and drag out the offender. It concentrates the feet of the
remainder of the troop.

Meaning no disprespect.......
And then there were those of us who served in the Canadian (and I suspect
other) forces who learned to march without the silliness of cadence calls.

Thanks for all the help.
Here is what I came up with. Keep in mind that this is for a Boy
Scout Troop.
The "big white 1" refers to their designation as the Paoli 1 scout
troop.
On my shoulder's a big white 1
I think marching is too much fun
March all day in the burning sun
I think marching is too much fun
March all night 'till my feet get sore
Wake up in the morning and march some more
On my shoulder's a big white 1
I think marching is too much fun
Sound off
One, two
Sound off
Three, four
Cadence call
One, two, three, four
One, two
Three, four
I don't know but I been told
A marching man will not get old
I will march 'till the day I die
Then march right up into the sky
On my shoulder's a big white 1
I think marching is too much fun
Sound off
One, two
Sound off
Three, four
Cadence call
One, two, three, four
One, two
Three, four

Tom Watson
