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.
