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.
The Halls of Montezuma
The Frozen Chosin
Resevoir
Our flag's
unfurled to every breeze
From
dawn to setting sun;
We've
fought in ev'ry 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.
