Marine Corps Hymn
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
THE UNITED STATES MARINES
