It is the song for the 3d Infantry Division. The Audi Murphy division. Song came out of WWII.
“Dog Face Soldier”
I Wouldn't Give A Bean
To Be A Fancy Pants Marine,
I'd rather Be A Dogface Soldier Like I Am.
I Wouldn't Trade My Old O.D.’s
For All The Navy's Dungarees
For I'm The Walking Pride Of Uncle Sam;
On All The Posters That I Read It Says
Be All That You Can
So They're Tearing Me Down To Build Me Over Again
I'm Just A Dogface Soldier
With A Rifle On My Shoulder
And I Eat Raw Meat For Breakfast Everyday.
So Feed Me Ammunition,
Keep Me In The Third Division,
Your Dogfaced Soldiers A-Okay.
I have to say I enjoyed this song from To Hell and Back, but my relatives that were Marines didn't cotton to it! I can see their point but they should have enlisted Audie Murphy when they had their chance--
As Audie said of the 3rd Division, "We are the only Marines in Italy."
