This
way to Cinema '76 Introduction

|
-
Eins,
Zwei, Drei, Vier,
 |
|
-
General
Von Steuben
-
was
here!
 |
|

Vier,
Drei, Zwei, Eins,

Baron
Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf
 |
|
-
Gerhard
Augustin Von Steuben
 |
|
-
Burst
on the U.S.A.
-
One
cold December day.
 |
|
-
1777
was the year, and his services were badly needed here.
 |
|
-
Baron
Freidrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin
-
Von
Steuben
 |
|
-
Went
down to Valley Forge
 |
|
-
Looked
around and said,
-
"HERR
GEORGE, seems to me your army is kaput!
 |
|
-
Everybody's
marching
-
on a
different foot."
 |
|
-
I'd
like to volunteer to
-
put
some order in your ranks
 |
|
-
And
if I'm successful, Congress can appropriate some thanks.
 |
|
-
So Friedrich
Wilhelm Ludolf
 |
|
-
Gerhard
Augustin
-
Von
Steuben
 |
|
-
Began
this fearsome feat:
 |
|
-
To make
the army neat!
 |
|
-
Eins,
Zwei, Drei, Vier,
 |
|
-
General
Von Steuben
-
was
here!
 |
|
-
Vier,
Drei, Zwei, Eins,
 |
|
-
Now
the army's lookin' fine.
 |
|
-
All
in line,
-
Lookin'
fine
 |
|
-
Hup,
Zwei, Drei, Vier,
-
Hup,
Zwei, Drei, Vier,
 |
|
-
He picked
out
-
one
hundred soldiers
 |
|
-
And
instructed them in person.
 |
|
-
Drilled
morning, noon
-
and
night.
 |
|
-
Drilled
'til they did it right
 |
|
-
When
they mastered
-
all
that they were shown,
 |
|
-
They
were each assigned
-
one
hundred of their own.
 |
|
-
'Cause
he spoke no English
-
he had
trouble
 |
|
-
cussin'
and discussin'
 |
|
-
But
he wasn't at a loss,
-
always
got his point across.
 |
|
-
Part
drillmaster and
-
part
mother-hen
 |
|
-
And
a favorite
-
of his
officers and men
 |
|
-
His
book of regulations
-
for
the order of the troops
 |
|
-
Soon
became a kind of bible
-
With
the military groups.
 |
|
-
What
Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin
-
Von
Steuben
 |
|
-
Declared
the army goal
 |
|
-
Still
holds today. Jawohl!
 |
|
-
Eins,
Zwei, Drei, Vier,
 |
|
-
General
Von Steuben
-
was
here!
 |
|
-
Vier,
Drei, Zwei, Eins,
 |
|
-
Now
the army's lookin' fine.
 |
|
-
All
in line, Shoes a shine,
-
Lookin'
fine.
