Sound Off (The Duckworth Chant)

Sound Off Lyrics

Hep-hup, hep-hup, hep-hup, hep-hup

The heads are up
The chests are out
The arms are swingin'
In cadence count

Sound off (sound off)
Sound off (sound off)
Cadence count
1-2-3-4 (1-2, 3-4)
Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe
Let's go back and count some mo'

I had a good home, but I left (you're right)
I had a good home, but I left (you're right)
Jody was there, when I left (you're right)
Jody was there, when I left (you're right)

Sound off (1-2)
Sound off (3-4)
Cadence count
1-2-3-4 (1-2, 3-4)

I left gal away out west
I thought this army life was best
Now, she's someone else's wife,
And I'll be marchin' the rest of my life

Sound off (1-2)
Sound off (3-4)
Ah-1 (2,3-4)
Ah-2, (2,3-4)
1-2-3-4, (1-2, 3-4)

The captain rides in a Jeep (you're right)
The sergeant rides in a truck (you're right)
The general rides in a limousine,
But we're just out of luck (you're right)

Sound off
Sound off
Cadence count
1-2-3-4 (1-2, 3-4)

(1-2, 3-4)
(1-2, 3-4)
(1-2, 3-4)
Company halt
(1-2, 3-4)
