[Piano romp: Marine's Hymn]

When someone makes a move

Of which we don't approve

Who is it that always intervenes?

U.N. and O.A.S.,

They have their place, I guess

But first send the Marines!

We'll send them all we've got

John Wayne and Randolph Scott

Remember those exciting fighting scenes?

To the shores of Tripoli

But not to Mississippoli

What do we do? we send the Marines!

For might makes right

And till they've seen the light

They've got to be protected

All their rights respected

Till somebody we like can be elected!

Members of the Corps

All hate the thought of war

They'd rather kill them off by peaceful means

Stop calling it aggression

Ooh, we hate that expression!

We only want the world to know

That we support the status quo

They love us everywhere we go

So when in doubt

Send the Marines!
