In Nod Country 1955 - 56

Earth Angel, Earth Angel please be mine...
I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill...
You ain't nothin' but a houn' dog...
See ya' lat'a alligata' aft'a while crocodile...

Who am I what do I look like
Christ! I'm hungry
Fifteen an' still in eighth grade, shit...
Be sixteen in August - fuck this stuff

L S / M F T - Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco!
I'd walk a mile for a Camel...
Call for Phillip Morris...
Murial Cigars - light it UP! and COME! to Murial!

Eightball in the side pocket - one bank
Rack 'em up goddamit rack
10¢ for the three ball 15¢ for the five quarter on the nine
Break 'em up you asshole - leave my smokes alone

Studebaker Skyhawk for '56!
See the USA in your Chevrolet!
Buick Roadmaster - show your class!
Ford Fairlane - truly A-Ford-able! only $1397!!

Join the Navy and see the world!
Fly high in Air Force blue!
Army: security training
The Marine Corps Builds Men

She's real popular... a cheerleader - damn she's neat
All the boys say she'll do it... I wonder...
I must be real ugly no one likes me
Fuckin' duck's ass won't say in place

Brill Cream a little dab'll do ya'
You'll wonder where the yellow went...
I love an Aqua Velva man...
SERUTAN - NATURES spelled backwards

Fuck 'em all fuck 'em all
The long the short and the tall
They'll be no promotions this side of the ocean
So come on boys fuck 'em all

Six more days - be seventeen
Parris Island - oh shit
Three slops a cot seventy-eight bucks a month
I'll show 'em...

Right shoulder... arms! the other shoulder maggot
Forward... march
Hwan hup three fo yo' left yo' left
Dress it up straighten them rifles
Get 'n step turds

Count cadence count
