just found this site, great, served in 355th supply 1969 & 1970. Anyone remember the club on base with the band made up of base personnel. Still remember the song:: The 355th was happy and had a good life They worked at McConnell thru trouble and strife They sent them to Thailand on a short TDY we haven' returned though 3 years have gone by
cigarettes and Singhi and wild wild Pooyings they'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane
The girls in Takhli had manners and poise They new how to act when they were out with the boys They'd smoke all your Salems and ask you for more They'd pickin their noses and spit on the floor
Cigarettes and Singhi and wild wild Pooyings They'd drive you crazy, they'd drive you insane (repeat)
A GI in Takhli went out on a fling he lost his wallet and star sapphire ring He woke up in the klong with a 300 lb sow He wasn't drunk, he was only kiemael
Chorus
when our tour is all over and we're going back No more Pooyings will be sharing ou sack Our wives will be happy for us to see Until she starts treatment for 3 kinds of VD
Chorus

I remembered about half the song! It was always flippin fantastic to hear those guys. I was there from Sep 68 thru Aug 69 so probably another group but still; oh those memories.
