Old King Cole
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his wife and he called for his Privates three.
Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Airmen.
(Chorus)
Oh what brave men are we!
but none so fair that we can compare to the Air Force ROTC!
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his wife and he called for his Sergeants three.
Three day pass said the Sergeants
Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Airmen.
(chorus)
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his wife and he called for his Louies three.
What do I do now? said the Louies.
Three day pass said the Sergeants
Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Airmen.
(Chorus)
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his wife and he called for his Captains three.
Where’s my plane? Said the Captains.
What do I do now? Said the Louies.
Three day pass said the Sergeants.
Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Airmen.
(Chorus)
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his wife and he called for his Majors three.
Where’s my ride? Said the Majors
Where’s my plane? Said the Captains
What do I do now? Said the Louies.
Three day pass said the Sergeant.
Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Airmen.
(Chorus)
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his Colonels three.
Where’s my Coffee? Said the Colonels.
Where’s my ride? Said the Majors
Where’s my plane? Said the Captains
What do I do now? Said the Louies.
Three day pass said the Sergeant.
Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Airmen.
(Chorus)
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his wife and he called for his Generals three.
When can I play golf? Said the General.
Where’s my Coffee? Said the Colonels.
Where’s my ride? Said the Majors
Where’s my plane? Said the Captains
What do I do now? Said the Louies.
Three day pass said the Sergeant.
Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Airmen.
At USAFA we used a variation that
“Beer Beer Beer”, said the private
“How ’bout a three day pass” said the corporal
“Your left, your right, your left said the sergeant,
