Soldiers sing of their beans and canteens / Army Bugs

Soldiers sing of their beans and canteens,
Of the coffee in old army cup,
Why not mention the small friends we`ve seen
Always trying to chew armies up?
Chorus:
Those firm friends, tireless friends,
Hardly ever neglecting their hugs,
Their regard never ends,
How they loved us, those old army bugs.

Lice were a Civil War soldier's best friend. Various nicknames include: "Cooties", or, to Rebel soldiers, "Bragg's bodyguard" or "tigers".
