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 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.
