In the marines in Memphis Tennessee The room began to spin, I went to sleep Well we partied hard and passed out After a nap we crashed a party in the hotel So high from whiskey no one checked or cared The dean of the dentistry school waved us in High, we had a ball and met a lot of women The party was lopsided with more women My team picked up the slack and got invites She told us they knew we were party crashers But with our wanting to dance and behaving Invited to a good southern home cooked meal She told me to have us all wear our Uniforms We had fried chicken and dumplings in gravy A night started out raucous and turned good Tennessee hospitality given and appreciated Rough cut marines were fully domesticated A couple of the guys married southern belles
