LO RIGHTY LAY OH USAF JODY
1My favorite jody to do at AF BMT. The first 75% of this jody applies to all my fellow airmen, past and present. The last 25% applies to the small number of us that serve/have served as Miltary Training Instructors.
Lyrics:

AH THERE’S A STORY
THAT I LIKE TO TELL
8 WEEKS OF MISERY
8 WEEKS OF HELL
I WAS LIVIN’ IN THE CITY
WORKIN’ EVERY DAY
UNTIL ONE DAY A MAN IN BLUE
HAPPENED TO COME MY WAY
I SIGNED MY NAME
UP ON THE DOTTED LINE
PACKED ALL MY BAGS GOT ON THE PLANE
OFF TO SERVE MY TIME
---
LO RIGHTY LAYOH
LEFTY RIGHTY LAYOH
LO RIGHT LEFTY RIGHT
LEFTY RIGHTY LOH-OHH
---
THEY SENT DOWN TO TEXAS
WHERE THEY MADE AIRMEN
THEY SAY A THOUSAND BOYS/PEOPLE MAY COME
BUT ONLY AIRMEN LEAVE
THEY ISSUED ALL MY GEAR
BOOTS AND TAN SHIRTS
IN A FEW SHORT HOURS
THEY HAD ME CLEANIN’ DIRT
MY M-T-Is
TRAINED ME ROUGH AND HARD
SHOWED ME HOW TO PT
TAUGHT ME HOW TO MARCH
---
LO RIGHTY LAY-OH
LEFTY RIGHTY LAY-OH
LO RIGHT LEFTY RIGHT
LEFTY RIGHTY LOH-OHH
---
IN 2 SHORT MONTHS
AS LONG AS IT HAD BEEN
I FINALLY HAD EARNED
THE TITLE OF AIRMAN
HOW WELL DO I REMEMBER?
GRADUATION DAY
AS I LEFT I SWORE
I WOULDN’T BE BACK THIS WAY
I WENT TO MY M-T-Is
AND GAVE TO THEM MY HAND
I THANKED THEM FOR THE TIME
THEY MADE ME AN AIRMAN

LO RIGHTY LAY-OH
LEFTY RIGHTY LAY-OH
LO RIGHT LEFTY RIGHT
LEFTY RIGHTY LOH-OHH

I SERVED MY TIME PROUDLY
OUT IN THE A-E-F!
BUT BACK AT LACKLAND TEXAS
THERE WAS SOMETHING I FELT I LEFT
SO I’M BACK A SECOND TIME
A SMOKEY ON MY HEAD
TRAINING U.S. AIR FORCE TRAINEES
THE VERY BEST I CAN
I FOUND OUT WHAT I LOVE
IN THE VERY END
CREATION OF THE AIR FORCE
DOWN WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
---
LO RIGHTY LAY-OH
LEFTY RIGHTY LAY-OH
LO RIGHT LEFTY RIGHT
LEFTY RIGHTY LOH-OHH
LO RIGHTY LAY-OH
LEFTY RIGHTY LAY-OH
LO RIGHT LEFTY RIGHT
LEFTY RIGHTY LOH-OHH
