Don’t Let The Green Grass Fool You - Military Cadence
(Lyrics & History)
Since 1944, military cadences have synchronized troops at 120 BPM for marching and 180 BPM for running through Drill Sergeant-led call-and-response songs.
A motivational cadence about staying focused and avoiding distractions. Its lyrics emphasize loyalty and determination, making it a powerful message for soldiers. The repetitive structure keeps it engaging during long marches.
Lyrics
Don’t let the green grass fool you
Don’t let, don’t let it change your mind
(Sing it with me now, now)
Don’t let the green grass fool you
(Don’t let it)
Don’t let it change your mind
(Sing it with me now, yeah)
Don’t let the green grass fool you
(Don’t let it fool ya)
(Don’t let it fool ya)
Don’t let it change your mind
(Everybody in the Army sing it with me now)
