John Philip Sousa used to write nonsense lyrics to his marches for his grandchildren. This one goes to the 2nd strain of King Cotton:
The sun was a-shining in the sky.
The sky was black and blue.
As Barnacle Bill and Jazzy Jen
Came down the avenue.
And everybody laughed with glee,
And whispered, "Is it he or she?"
For one of his legs was shorter
Than it really ought to be.

I played the bass clarinet in high school band and I loved Sousa's marches. The score called for the bass clarinet to sometimes play the melody line and sometimes to play the base line, but the best was when the score called to play the counter melody.

DONT WORRY IVE GOT AN IDEA *Otis wants off to get a branch but wasn't tall enough for Milo to get out then Otis went to get a rope. "GRAB THE END!!Shouted Otis. And Milo yanks around with the end of the rope and then after a few failed attempts. "ALRIGHT HOLD ON!!" Otis tugged the rope with his mouth tight and then Milo holding onto the other end with his teeth climbs slowly up the pit and finally he makes it out. "ha! Are you alright?" Asked Otis. "You have no idea what I've been thru" said Milo

What a great march ....... this was one of the often-played favourites of HM Royal Marines Portsmouth Group Band (The Royal Yacht Band) way back in the early 1960's ..........
always a rousing march for onlookers and crowds at Wembley Cup Finals, the Lord Mayors Show in London, The Royal Tournament at Earls Court, as were other iconic marches such as National Emblem, El Capitan, Glorious Victory, Imperial Echoes, Stars & Stripes Forever, Captain General, the Bond of Friendship, and others.

Sousa wrote this as an alternative to Dixie for his concerts in the South following the Civil War. He would open with Cotton and get the audience on their feet, then immediately go into The Star Spangled Banner not allowing the audience to sit down. Ever the showman, he closed with Starts and Stripes Forever and during the final refrain marched US Flags onto the stage. This was a day when if you saw the flag go by, you stood up; hence Sousa always got standing ovations dutifully reported.

It's ironic that the music to the so-called "Marines' Hymn" was not by Sousa, but from a military march tune in a French operetta, Genevieve de Brabant, by Jacques Offenbach, which during the last year of the first World War was used with an anonymous verse, probably by a Marine, that had been written soon after the American war with Mexico in the late 1840s.
