Here's a song from another country It's a marching song Thirty years ago, the soldiers of Chiang Kai-shek's army were deserted to join the red army And most of them were illiterate And they had to learn a few things in a hurry So there was a song they were supposed to learn So this song has a peculiar title of The Three Rules of Discipline and the Eight Rules of Attention And...it's...they put into the whole thing Here's how it goes The verses go on They say...always march in step Obey orders Don't take anything from the peasant Not even a needle or thread without paying for it Don't molest women Help the peasant gather their crops at harvest time And so on and so on All in this tune Eight more verses
