Standing Tall and Looking Good
 

Standing tall and looking good

Ought to march in Hollywood (x2)

 

Raise your head and hold it high

Raider Batt. is marching by

 

We’ll close are eyes and hang are heads

We are marching passed the dead

 

Standing tall and looking good

Ought to be in Hollywood (x2)

 

Better run better hide

Raider Batt. won’t count to five

 

You can fight but we will win

Raiders live to see the end

 

Standing tall and looking good

Ought to march in Hollywood (x2)

 

You can kick and you can scream

But you won’t beat the Raider team

 

You can cry and you can wail

But the Raiders will prevail

 

Standing tall and looking good

Oughta be in Hollywood (x2)

Old King Cole

​

Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he

(Uh huh)

 

He called for his pipe, called for his bowl,

and called for his privates, three

(Uh huh)

 

Beer, Beer, Beer said the privates

 

Merry men are we

 

But none so fair that they can/dare compare to the US Army

(Uh huh)

 

Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he

(Uh huh)

 

He called for his pipe, called for his bowl and called for his corporals, three

(Uh huh)

 

I need a three-day pass said the corporals

 

Beer, Beer, Beer said the privates

 

Merry men are we

 

But none so fair that they can/dare compare to the US Army

(Uh huh)
