[Verse 1]
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.​

[Verse 2]
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.​

[Verse 3]
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.​
