Vaughn Monroe & His Orchestra — Sound Off lyrics

Lyrics

Hib-hub, hib-hub, hib-hub, hib-hub
The heads are up
The chests are out
The arms are swinging
And cadence count
Sound off (sound off)
Sound off (sound off)
Cadence count
Enie, Meanie, Minie, Moe
Let’s go back and count some more
Sound off (sound off)
Sound off (sound off)
Cadence count
I had a good home, but I left (you're right)
I had a good home, but I left (you're right)
Jody was there, when I left (you're right)
Jody was there, when I left (you're right)
Sound off (1−2)
Sound off (3−4)
Cadence count
I left gal away out west
I thought this army life was best
Now she’s someone elses wife
And I’ll be marchin' the rest of my life
Sound off (1−2)
Sound off (3−4)
The captain rides in a jeep
The sargent rides in a truck
The general rides in a limosine
But we’re just out of luck
Sound off
Sound off
Cadence count
Hib-hub, hib-hub, hib-hub, hib-hub
The heads are up
The chests are out
The arms are swinging
And cadence count
Sound off (sound off)
Sound off (sound off)
Cadence count
Ennie, Meanie, Minnie, Moe
And let’s go back and count somemore
Sound off
Sound off
Cadence count
Company halt
