From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli
We will 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  a 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 looked on Heaven's scenes
They will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines
