"The Army Goes Rolling Along"
"The Army Song"

     
  Chorus  
  First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation’s might,
And The Army Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle’s won,
And the Army Goes Rolling Along.
 
  Refrain:  
  Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army's on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong.
For where e’er we go,
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along.
