The Marines' Hymn (1942)

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 the United States Marines
