"Napalm Sticks to Little Children" Hash House Harrier Song

[tanberetO]

That's a military cadence that was started in the mid 70's during the Vietnam war.

[tornado145us]

Royal Canadian Artillery (Air Defense)

"they'll be crispy fried tonight"

[Panamalights]

Thx for posting this! This reminds me of a being a kid when my big brother was in the service

[Marcownz747]

@hashsongs I prefer "They really scream when they ignite" rather than "see them burn through the night". I heard it from a vet who had to march to it in the Navy.

[Dandominell42]

Napalm sticks to little children

All the children of the world

Red yellow black and white they really scream when they ignite

Napalm sticks to all the boys and girls

-version taught to me by a ex navy friend.

[Marcownz747]

@Dandominell42 That's exactly my story. Buddy's dad was a navy seal who just passed away a few years back. We all sang this at his funeral (at his request).

[metalhead192]

[sitac402]

Napalm all the little children...

All the little children of the world.

Red, yellow, black and white...

(long pause)

They're so cute when they ignite...

Napalm all the children of the world.

I heard it in the mid 1980's at Western Illinois University from a Vet.

[Bolatium]

Napalm really sticks to kids.

It sticks to their bellies, it sticks their ribs.

[mcconnellch]

A-10 A-10 flying high drop that napalm from the sky. Napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids! women, and involids See those kids out by the river drop some napalm watch them quiver. Napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids! Napalm sticks to kids! See those kids out by the lake drop some napalm watch them bake. Napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids! Napalm sticks to kids!

[sociopathpsych]

napalm sticks to little children. all the children of the world (of the world!) red & yellow, black & white, they scream when they ignite! Napalm sticks to all the children of the world!

[trollforge]

I learned it before 1970, from my buddy's older brother, who was a Vietnam protester...

Napalm sticks to little children, all the little children of the world,

Red and Yellow, Black and White, they'll be crispy by tonight,

Napalm sticks all the children of the world.

Sung to the tune of "Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching"

later rewritten as "Jesus loves the little children"

[DSP1899]

please continue to add these quick and easy songs. I use them at the hash a lot!

[draragon91reborn]

my drill instructor taught me this verson in book camp, last year

Lock and load your m240, throw some candy on the ground, wait for all the children to gather, mow those little F***ers down. napalm stick to kids, sticks to there heads and sticks to there ribs. napalm stick to Kid.

next verse was like this.

throw some crosses in the church yard, wait for all the nuns to gather round, throw some napalm on the ground, napalm sticks to nuns, sticks to there head and sticks to there buns,

[lydian7999]

We used to sing it in the marine corps late 90's for cadence.....have a party in the village, see the kiddies gather round, fence them in like little cattle and mow those mother fuckers down, napalm it sticks to kids, crunchy on the outside chewy on the inside, napalm it sticks to kids better than jerky when you're going on a long ride" Yea, that's pretty fucked up I know, but still funny.

[manndena5150]

ok, look. I wont do the whole cadence, but the verse everyone remembers is: "you throw a bomb right through the door, they come running out 36 or more. Cause napalm sticks to kids-and repeat."

[ReMutray]

my dad heard this song when he was stationed in Cambodia idk who from though not like you'll contact them lol if i find lyrics i'll tell you

[34joemommauzi]

"Napalm sticks on little kids.

Doo dah, doo dah

Napalm sticks to little kids,

oh the doo dah day,

watch them scream and burn,

watch them run away,

Napalm stick on little kids,

oh the doo dah day"

[kaelsleeps]

We sung this in elementary school when I was a kid. Semi-rural Georgia (U.S.) in the early eighties. Never heard it again until this.

[vme2861]

shell the town and kill the people

drop some napalm in the square

do it all on sunday morning

while the people are away at prayer

give the children lots of candy

watch em all gather 'round

load a belt in your m-60

lock and load and mow em' down

[aaronjlawn]

Its a general military cadence, all branches use it! Good for running...

[valhallawelcomesme]

Army Infantry cadence, as long as no P.O.G.s are around we still sing it

[pachuco553]

in between every line the lower ranking infantry would sound off with... ching cha ching cha ching ching X 2.

its an old outlawed forbidden army cadence sang only by OOOOLLLLLD SCHOOL drill seargeants and squad leaders reserved only for the infantry. I believe for the marines as well, but not quite sure if they were as fucked in the head as my unit was.

[pachuco553]

ahh a-10 a-10 ah flyin high!

ah drop that napalm from the sky!

see them kids by the river!

ah drop a little napalm and watch 'em shiver!

ah see them kids by the lake!?!

ah drop a little napalm 'an watch'em bake!

cuz naaaaaapalm sticks to kids!

naaaapalm sticks to children!

it sticks to their faces and it sticks to their bones!

it sticks to little kiddies while thy're sleepin in their homes!.......................

[AdamBomb669]

when I went to bct I heard a drill sgt chanting Napalm sticks to little children

all the children of the world

red and yellow black and white

how I laugh when they ignite

napalm sticks to all the children of the world

[collin1295]

napalm sticks the little kids

thats why we drop it on villiages

see some little kids swimming in the lake

drop a little napalm and watch them bake

i learned that from my papaw he was in veitnam

[jhenderson143]

LOL... well, the orginal version was heard in December of 1981 at the Aviation Ordnance school during roll call. The last verse was "they are vanished from our sight, Napalm sticks to all the children of the world..." I'm quite surprised at the longevity of it.... and I'll probably burn in hell for it...

[SlowSS01]

Yeaaaaa.. This is a Military running cadence.. lol we used to run to it in my Military Police unit.. gotta love it.. Hooah!

[MariaP317]

um my boyfriend taught it to me and he's in the army so i'm guessing its an army cadence of some kind

[xzeratarx]

[Hefferman1]

Napalm sticks to little children

All the children of the world

Red and yellow, black amd white

They all scream as they ignite

Napalm sticks to little childer of the world

Uncle who was a Marine taught me that in 1969.

[wmonroe21]

That's the only version I know. I learned it in the army (1983), and was sang by drill instructors to keep cadence.
