I Work…
Air Force Running Cadence
This one is called by only one person.
The flight will clap in step and repeat, “I work” after
each line, until the end
I woke up about a quarter to two [Flight: “I work”]
Drill Sargeant said shine your shoes [“I work” …]
I woke up about a quarter to three
Drill Sergeant brings in misery
I woke up about a quarter to four
Drill Sergeant says scrub the floor
I woke up about a quarter to five
Senior Drill wasn’t taking no jive
I woke up about a quarter to six
First Sergeant was getting his kicks
I woke up about a quarter to seven
You cadets are going to heaven
I woke up about a quarter to eight
School teacher said don’t be late.
Pick up my M-16
I lock and load a magazine
Put on my BDU shirt
Now I’m ready to go to work
All: I work, work work
I work, work, work work
