THE MARINE CORP HYMN (click to play)

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.

Second Verse

Our flag's unfurl'd 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.

Third Verse

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.
