HunterLiggettSong

My friend Al (on bass) and I worked for Army contractors at Fort Hunter Liggett for quite a while. This is a song about the experience. Here are the lyrics: Fort Hunter Liggett Song

1st Verse: ------------------

I think I'd like to go to Paris France
where the champagne flows and those ladies dance.
Ahhh forgit it I'm going to Hunter Liggett.

With big blue skies, miles of winding road.
Don't step on shiney objects or you might expload.
Land of granduer where the Army serves us,
where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.

2nd Verse: ------------------

Then again Peru sound pretty nice,
A trip to machu picchu perched in Andes Ice
Ahhh forgit it I'm going to Hunter Liggett

There, legends of yore labored for our defence
One urban legend peed on an electric fence.
Twenty four seven, no sleep at night.
Something in their coffee must have made it seem right.


3rd Verse: ------------------

KMart parking lot six AM.
A flash down the highway I've seen OJ's van,
I get in it 'cause I'm going to Hunter Liggett.

Vince is in a good mood he hasn't lost his buzz
Marie is being chirpy that's just what she does.
Ken is at wheel of this ten man load.
I hope he keeps awake and us on the road.

4th Verse: ------------------

Wild boar, badgers , suicidal deer
we've made it down Jolon road, barely even veered
cause we're committed to get to Hunter Liggett.

Lunch at the pool with my tall boy cup
Betsy's wearing her bikini so I better not get up.
Mountain biking, Racquet ball we're gonna have some fun.
I suppose we should even . . . get some work done.

5th Verse: ------------------
Dang I got my borrowed lab truck stuck
with a hotel sierra and a little luck
they'll unstick it at hunter liggett

Mamoth tanks that pack some pow.
Go ask Daisy the tank range cow.

My box is broken the cause no doubt
is its lid came lose and leaked all its smoke out.

6th Verse: -------------------
I used to be prissy then I grew some pluck
now every other word I use rhymes with duck
'cause it's permitted at Hunter Liggett.

Trouble on the phone with the Holiday Inn
Gay Freddie needs a room with a double twin

They keep hanging up. They think it's a crock
'Cause the room's for Mike Fagg and Dick Woodcock.

7th Verse --------------------
When times are tough and funds are tight
Koemen Voerkers don't wallow in your dreary plight
admit it, you love Hunter Liggett.
It's really wicked at Hunter Liggett.
I know you dig it at Hunter Liggett.
So admit it, you love Hunter Liggett.

Hi Jean. Ya know oddly, the camo looked fine on the camera, but once we were all done videoing and playing and all packed up and I was back home and started editing the video, those darned margin edges showed up. Weird huh? As it turns out, we may actually remake it, mostly to get better sound. We'll see. There's also something to be said for calling it done. - Nick

If you post the lyrics, you may get some help with more verses. A great song like this could have much more to say. :)

Hi dontaskme - Thanks. The lyrics are posted in the area that describes the song. I hear you about having more to say. What is there though came pretty slow, for whatever reason . . . maybe to leave room for other people's lyrics. I'd certainly entertain adding more lyrics. By all means send some my way. The sound quality of this video has lots of room for improvement, so a re-record wouldn't break my heart.

Hi N! I like the duck verse. Next time use a wider camoflage screen. :-) -J
