    Cadence calls for local youth football clubs

    With all the recent discussion of the training regimens for local youth soccer clubs--including a certain club from Beaverton known for a particularly intense training program--I thought it would be fun (and mildly sadistic) to collect military-style cadences for your SS and DD to sing as they pound the pavement.

    For those who've never served in the military, or seen war movies, or don't know what a "military cadence" is, it's the call-and-response song that is sung by a unit when they are marching or running in formation. Generally the drill sergeant issues the call, and the men and women sing the response in unison. Some military cadences are X-rated or highly violent, but a clean example is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VEE2spvSHo. Cadences sung in the military generally deal with military life and its depredations and inconveniences. Occasionally one hears references to a pampered civilian named "Jody" (who is often alleged to be seducing the SO of the servicemen--many cadences date back to before women were allowed in the service), and cadences are also known as Jody calls.

    In this thread, I am inviting contributions of soccer-themed cadences. As this is a youth soccer thread, keep 'em clean.

    Some for Westside

    E350 cruisin' down the road
    Eleven Westside Timbers is the load
    Ain't goin' to a match, ain't goin' to school
    Coach is takin' us to the Oregon Zoo.
    Not to see the critters, not for the thrills
    No, we're here running on all these hills
    First we run fast and then we run slow
    Gotta do them intervals!

    I wanna be a Westside Timber
    I wanna be so lean and limber

    Jody's at home sittin' on the floor
    Playing FIFA '16 on his PS4
    Drinkin' soda pop, but that's not for me
    I'm out here with coach doin' my PT
    Hear the zoo train whistling through the trees
    Taking people to the garden Japanese
    I'd rather get on board and give the ticket man five
    Then be here running up Kingston Drive

    I wanna be a Westside Timber
    I wanna be so lean and limber

    Far post footy and Cony K.
    Think us suburban kids don't know how to play
    The poor kids playing on broken glass
    Gonna come out to Walker Road and kick our a**
    So we do lots of training and we do it real hard
    Then we go and do triangles down in the yard
    Gettin in those touches, gettin in those drills
    Tomorrow we'll be back up in the hills

    I wanna be a Westside Timber
    I wanna be so lean and limber

    Hunter and Caitlyn, get in the SUV
    We're headin' on down to Pacific City
    To the end of the cape and back to the lot
    Coach wants to see just what you got
    While Mom and Dad are lighting up the grill
    You're gonna run up and down that hill
    Boom box is blasting Chariots of Fire
    And that dune it keeps getting' higher and higher

    I wanna be a Westside Timber
    I wanna be so lean and limber

      Some more generic ones

      containing no references to any particular youth clubs...

      Herr Schweinsteiger's rollin' on the pitch
      He's got a hangnail and a real bad itch
      So he went to Old Trafford and you know what for
      'Cause the refs don't give 'em Fergie Time no more
      Luis Suarez is very very rude
      Went to Brazil for Italian food
      The ref didn't see it but the TV man did
      So they sent him back to Montevid

      Jurgen Klinsmann makes people really mad
      'Cause he thinks us yankees play soccer bad
      Making his plans for two thousand eighteen
      Three keepers and twenty clones of Julian Green
      See-attle Sounders think they're a really top crew
      Got Dempsey and Alonso and Morris too
      But when they look at the Timbers, they are lookin' straight up
      'They can't carry our MLS Cup

          Went on a date last night you see
          With a footie-playing girl from THUSC
          Her momma really liked me, her dad thinks I'm great
          But Tom came after me with a .38
