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 will always find us 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
