March and Lyrics
Basics: Always left foot first when marching. Follow Stephen's steps.
White ~~~
Blue ~~~
Union!~~~
1-2-3-Go!
We are the soldiers of the
23rd infantry
we are from
Penn-syl-vani-a!~~~
We started as militia
we didn't know what to do
but then came Colonel Birney
he let us do it right~~~
we got to kill the rebels, and the deserters too---!
Danny: We~~~
fought in many battles
many of which we lost
now we present you our
com-
-bat
log:
At Fredericksburg (Stephen)
we lost!
At Cold Harbor (James)
we lost!
Seven Pines (Danny)
was inconclusive!
At Gettysburg (David)
we won!~~~
Chorus: Alright alright alright,
lets take this march to a whole new level
ladies and gents, prepare to revel
at me rappin’ so fast
that even Napoleon trembles
(march= left right left stop)
So what?
if we lost in battle
we had this snazzy swag
that no one else could handle
Chorus: Too Hot!
(faster)
So take a look at our un-i-form, y’all!
They’re mul-ti-purposed and beau-ti-ful
They’re of the French Zou-a-ve style
'cuz we stole them from the Frenchie army
Chorus: Yeah yeah!
Turn it up!
Chorus: YEAH YEAH!
Moving on!
Chorus: Let's go!
(faster)
So--
General Mclellan had a thing for this regalia
Well I guess-- he was something of a mania
He admired the uniforms
for the French troops from Africa
who dressed like this in battle.
Oh, they were brave and reckless:
Chorus: Both things
we lacked for sure
Chorus: Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
they were brave and reckless,
and admired by McClellan
but, we aint brave at all
Chorus: Oops oops
But whatever
we’re flyin’ high
Chorus: high
While trying not to die
Chorus: Die!
We told those rebels
Everyone: bye bye!
(all fall)
- Line up in a single file line sideways. Stephen, James, David, Danny
- March forwards: Stephen 8 steps, James 6, David 4, Danny 2
