Sometimes, some crimes go slippin’ through the cracks  
But these two gumshoes are pickin’ up the slack  
There’s no case too big, no case too small  
When you need help, just call

Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale  
Rescue Rangers!  
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale  
When there’s danger  
Oh no, it never fails  
Once they’re involved  
Somehow whatever’s wrong gets solved

Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale  
Rescue Rangers  
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale  
When there’s danger  
Oh no, it never fails  
They’ll take the clues  
And find the wheres and whys and whos

Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale  
Rescue Rangers!  
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale  
When there’s danger  
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale!

I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track  
And as I go I love to sing, my knapsack on my back.

Valderi, valdera, valderi, valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha  
Valderi, valdera, my knapsack on my back.

Oh, what a thrill!  
When the crimson starts to spill  
And my Millie goes in for the kill  
She takes away my breath  
She’s the angel of death for me  
Oh, Millie!

She’s my queen, it’s like a dream  
When I hear her victims start to scream  
In and out of the sack  
She’s the maniac for me  
Oh, Millie!

When the blood starts dripping down the walls  
And the bodies start to fall  
My heart skips a beat  
When my Millie’s guns are blazing in the heat  
My assassin love, she makes the murdering fun for me  
Oh, la da dee!

Of all the imps in Hell  
It’s for her that I fell  
Oh, Millie!

Stand up all victims of oppression  
For the tyrants fear your might  
Don’t cling so hard to your possessions  
For you have nothing if you have no rights  
Let racist ignorance be ended  
For respect makes the empires fall  
Freedom is merely privilege extended  
Unless enjoyed by one and all

So come brothers and sisters  
For the struggle carries on  
The internationale  
Unites the world in song  
So comrades come rally  
For this is the time and place  
The international ideal  
Unites the human race

Let no one build walls to divide us  
Walls of hatred nor walls of stone  
Come greet the dawn and stand beside us  
We’ll live together or we’ll die alone  
In our world poisoned by exploitation  
Those who have taken now they must give  
And end the vanity of nations  
We’ve but one earth on which to live

So come brothers and sisters  
For the struggle carries on  
The internationale  
Unites the world in song  
So comrades come rally  
For this is the time and place  
The international ideal  
Unites the human race

And so begins the final drama  
In the streets and in the fields  
We stand unbowed before their armor  
We defy their guns and shields  
When we fight provoked by their aggression  
Let us be inspired by like and love  
For though they offer us concessions  
Change will not come from above

So come brothers and sisters  
For the struggle carries on  
The internationale  
Unites the world in song  
So comrades come rally  
For this is the time and place  
The international ideal  
Unites the human race

Allons enfants de la patrie,

That sounds familiar. I think my source probably used “louie” rather than “shavetail” as louie has wider application, a shavetail being specifically a Second Lieutenant whereas Sargeants, Colonels, and Generals had a single line for multiple ranks.

We had some chickens, no eggs would they lay,  
We had some chickens, no eggs would they lay.  
My wife said, “Honey, we’re losing money…  
We have some chickens, but no eggs will they lay.”

One day a rooster came in our yard  
And caught those chickens right off their guard…  
They’re laying eggs now, just like they use’ter,  
Ever since that rooster came in our yard!

We had a milk cow, no milk would she give,  
We had a milk cow-ow, no milk would she give.  
My wife said, “Honey, we’re losing money,  
We have a milk cow-ow-ow-ow, but no milk will she give.”

One day this rooster came in our yard,  
And caught that milk cow _**(wow!!)**_, right off her guard…  
She’s giving eggnog in waxed containers,  
Ever since that rooster came in our yard!

We had a gum tree, but no gum would it give,  
We had a gum tree, but no gum would it give.  
My wife said, “Honey, we’re losing money,  
We have a gum tree, but no gum will it give.”

One day a rooster came in our yard,  
And caught that… gum tree, right off its guard…  
It’s giving Chiclets, in yellow boxes,  
Ever since that rooster came in our yard!
