To the shores of Tripoli;

We fight our countries 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 flags 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 sunny tropic scenes;

You will always find us on the job-

UNITED STATES MARINES.

Heres health to you and 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 to the heaven’ scenes;

They will find the streets are guarded by

UNITED STATES MARINES.

From the north and from the south we’ll come

From the east and the west

We will all enlist in the Young Marines

And forever do our best.

From the halls of all the grammar schools

To the shores of all our lakes

We will be the finest Young Marines

No matter what it takes.

Let the boy scouts and the girls scouts march;

Let the cub scouts strut and beam

Oh, you haven’t seen the greatest yet

Til you’ve seen the Young Marines.

We salute the sailor boys in blue

And the army in their greens

We are proud to bear the title of

The U.S. Young Marines
