A blast from the past......

[16r40]

for you guys that were in the service and stationed in korea during the 80s.........this will bring back memories, :rofl_smal

for those that weren't, the song is sung to the tune of "lucile"

In a bar in Itaewon
Down from Old Yongsan
On a barstool she flashed me her thang
Well I thought I’d get closer
So I stumbled over
sat down and asked her its name
When the drink finially hit her
she said I’m a hooker
but you can just call me Miss Lee
so I gave her a 20
she gave me 14.07 back
and this is what happened to me:

You picked a fine time to burn me Miss Lee
4 days to port call and a case of VD
but I had a good time
I lived through a short time
this time its herpes type 3
Picked a fine time to burn me Miss Lee

As I sit in this bar room
gotta go to the bathroom
lord it hurts so bad when I pee
(aghhhhh!)
what she did to my wienie
I outta kick her kundingie
if I could just find that Miss Lee
then the post Sgt. Major
He made me a wager
that I couldn’t catch his Miss Kim
So I’m going out tonight
If my wallets just right
and I’ll give my herpes to him!

Pretty good...I never heard that one...


There is an old Hank Snow tune "Movin' On" that got "parodied" a couple times in Korea...

The first one is "The Bug Out Ballad"...from when we got pushed south (I think) the first time...

I couldn't find the second one...Its more along the lines of a GI and the Korean Girl that got pregnant...


The Bug-Out Ballad (Moving on)

Hear the patter of running feet
It's the old First Cav in full retreat
They're moving on; they'll soon be gone
They're haulin' ass, not savin' gas
They'll soon be gone.

Over on that hill there's a Russian tank
A million Chinks are on my flank
I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
With my M-1 broke, it ain't no joke
I'll soon be gone.

Million Chinks comin' through the pass
Playin' burp-gun boogie all over my ass
I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
With my M-1 broke, it ain't no joke
I'll soon be gone.

Twenty thousand Chinks comin' through the pass
I'm tellin' you, baby, I'm haulin' ass
I'm moving on; I'll soon be gone
I'm haulin' ass, not savin' gas
I'll soon be gone.

Standin' in a rice paddy up to my belly
From then on, they called me "Smelly"
I'm moving on; I'll soon be gone
I'm haulin' ass, not savin' gas
I'll soon be gone.

Here's papa-san comin' down the track
Old A-frame strapped to his back
He's moving on; he'll soon be gone
he's haulin' ass, not savin' gas
He'll soon be gone.

Here's mama-san comin' down the track
Titty hangin' out, baby on her back
She's moving on; she'll soon be gone
From her tits to her toes, she's damn near froze
She'll soon be gone.

I sung this song for the very last time
Gonna get Korea off my mind
I'm moving on; I'll soon be gone
I done my time in the shit and slime
I'm movin' on.



NOTE:

In Vietnam, they sang the same song...different lyrics:

The McNamara Line is a hundred miles long
Completely surrounded by Viet Cong
I'm movin' on etc.

I never hear that one..........most of all the parody songs that was popular when I was stioned there were by a band called the mason dixon line........I heard them a few time when they played at the NCO club at camp casey.....they even made a cassette tape of their songs.......I bought one, but somewhere in the upteen PCS moves I lost it

here is another one of their songs, this is to the tune of "take the ribbon from your hair"

Get that Kimchi off your plate
Throw it out the goddamn door
You’re a GI's women now
You don’t eat that shit no more
Get in there and brush your teeth
If you plan to share my bed
Come to me with breath like that
Tie a baggy around your head

I don’t care what all your friends say
That their yobos like to eat
Serve me that shit one more time girl
Gonna find your ass back on the street

I don’t care what all your friends say
That their yobos like to eat
Serve me that shit one more time girl
You’ll find your ass back on the streets

I can eat most anything
Takes a lot to make me gag
So I’m warning you this time
Rotten cabbage ain’t my bag

I don’t want to be a drag
Rotten cabbage ain’t my bag

their most popular one was "ode to 8th army", I am not sure what the tune it's sung by



Well here’s to 8th Army one hell of a place, the way that it’s run is a fuckin' disgrace there’s captains and majors and light colonels too with their thumps up their asses and nothing to do.

They rant and they rave and they scream and shout, they talk about things they know nothing about, for all their worth they might as well be, shoveling shit on the DMZ.


Well it’s up in the morning and to the latrine. It hurts when I pee I’ve been out with a queen. Come on doc you gotta make me clean. To hell with Itawon and all her VD.

You know when my tours over and I go back home. Back to my true love never more to roam. Well all I’ll think about is her misery . To hell with Itawon all all her VD.
