United States Military Academy Poem

*United States Military Academy*

In Cadence!

They missed duty & now they’re missin’
(They missed duty & now they’re missin’)
They left, left, left
(They left, left, left)
West Point only keeps the best
(West Point only keeps the best)
You’re what’s left, left, left
(Left, Right-On Left)

Honor is the code we live
(Honor is the code we live)
Damn right, right, right
(Damn right, right, right)
What way do we honor The Point?
(What way do we honor The Point?)
We fight, fight, fight
(Damn right, right, right)

Attack the Navy, rack the score
(Attack the Navy, rack the score)
Take them on punishment tours
(Take them on punishment tours)
Roll on Brave Old Army Team
(Roll on Brave Old Army Team)
As your country’s Pride and Dream
(As this country’s Pride and Dream)
Cadets who have served the time
(Cadets who have served the time)
Fall into the Long Gray Line
(Fall into the Long Gray Line)
SOUND OFF!
1-2!
SOUND OFF!
3-4!
Break it on down now!
(1-2-3-4-1-2…3-4!)
