Red ~~~

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)
