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 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.
