Annotation

A military chant that is relatively well known, that is often based around a chorus such as

"Sound Off
One. Two
Sound Off
Three. Four."

Often performed while marching to lift spirits and maintain cadence, these are then filled in with additional verses of assorted subjects.

The main chrous and song structure at least is credited to Pvt. Willie Lee Duckworth Sr..
