THE BALLAD OF THE ASA
Anonymous – Many sources
To the tune of 'The Ballad of the Green Berets",
By SSgt Barry Sadler
Black is for the night we fear
Blue’s for water-- we don't go near
White is for the flag we fly
Yellow is the reason why.
Red is for the blood we shed
As you see, there is no red
'T**less WACs', that's what they say
about the men of the ASA.
Fighting soldiers jump and die
But we're the ones who sit and cry
One hundred men will jump today
but not a one from the ASA.
Drunken soldiers, always high
Dropouts from old Sigma Chi
Men who bullshit all the way
We're the men of the ASA.
We're not trained to fight or kill
But we'll always drink our fill
Men who drink can seldom fight
And ASA drinks day and night!
Trained to go from bar to bar
That's a war that's best by far
"Another round," someone insists,
"we give a shit for dahs and dits."
On a mid, a trick chief waits
For his men who’re always late
Men who drink among the best
'Another round', their last request.
Headphones humming in our ears
We've been cleared, so we're not q****s
One hundred men will test today
But only one makes the ASA.
A teal blue scarf 'round my son's neck
Would make my son a nervous wreck
One hundred men re-upped today
But not a one for the ASA.
