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 Marines.
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
will find us always on the job - the United States Marines.
Here's
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.
