The 38th Lament
"Ode to Shanty O'Neill"
The 38th Group's been in Guinea too long
    We're mighty hard up for a drink
    For want of a woman we're all going nuts
    Oh, Shanty please say what you think
    There are snakes in the jungle and bugs in the grass
    The mosquitoes have seven inch prongs
    The rain falls in buckets clear up to our ass
    Oh, Shanty we've been here too long
    Oh, the airplanes all stink and the pilots all drink
    The navvies don't know where they are
    The bombardiers can't hit a bucket of ****
    Oh, Shanty please send us afar
    We've been over Buna, we've been over Lae
    We've been out to sea after ships
    We've been to Gasmata and Vunakanau
    Oh, Shanty it gives us the ****s
    Now Shanty's our leader, He's Irish they say
     Irish as a banshee's wail
    But take it from us, we know he's just
     Half scotch and half ginger ale.

skuzzy, i found this, it was a song by and about the 38th bomb group in the south pacific. i know there are some questionable words and i hope you are able to just edit them, i was afraid to try and am absolutely thrilled with myself that i was able to copy something and post it here.
