Frank Loesser The Ballad of Rodger Young Oh, they've got no time for glory in the Infantry Oh, they've got no use for praises loudly sung But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry Shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young Shines the name — Rodger Young Fought and died for the men he marched among To the everlasting glory of the Infantry Lives the story of Private Rodger Young Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen Volunteered, volunteered to meet his doom Volunteered — Rodger Young Fought and died for the men he marched among In the everlasting annals of the Infantry Glows the last deed of Private Rodger Young It was he who drew the fire of the enemy That a company of men might live to fight; And before the deadly fire of the enemy Stood the man, stood the man we hail tonight Stood the man — Rodger Young Fought and died for the men he marched among Like the everlasting courage of the Infantry Was the last deed of Private Rodger Young On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons Sleeps a man, sleeps a man remembered well Sleeps a man — Rodger Young Fought and died for the men he marched among In the everlasting spirit of the Infantry Breathes the spirit of Private Rodger Young No, they've got no time for glory in the Infantry No, they've got no use for praises loudly sung But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry Shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young Shines the name — Rodger Young Fought and died for the men he marched among To the everlasting glory of the Infantry Lives the story of Private Rodger Young
