 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.
