Equestrian Army Songs: If I Die in a Drop Zone

If I Die in a Drop Zone is an US military marching cadence drill instructors shout at platoons while running them.

Sergeant marching down the strip,
64 stormtroopers on a one–way trip.
Mission top–secret, destination unknown,
Don’t even know if they're ever coming home.

Stand–up, suit–up, better look alive,
Jump right out and count to five.
Slip to the left and slip to the right
Slip on down to a dogfight.

Hit the drop zone with my wings apart
Legs in my stomach and hooves in my heart.
Take up my position at the fore,
Charge into battle with a mighty roar

And if my wings don’t open wide,
I’ve got a chute by my side.
And if that one should fail me too,
Look out below, I’m a–coming through.

And if I die in the old drop zone,
Box me up and ship me home.
Pin my medals upon my chest,
And tell my girl I did my best.

When I get to Heaven,
Somepony's gonna say,
"How'd you earn your living?
How'd you earn your pay?

And I will reply with a whole lot of vigor,
"Earned my living as a stormtrooper!"
