From the
Halls of Montezuma
to the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
in the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
and to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.
Our flag's
unfurled to every breeze
from dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
and in sunny tropic scenes;
You fill find us always on the job--
The United States Marines.
Here'
health to you and to our Corps
which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
and never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
by United States Marines.
