Lift your head and hold it high, honey
Lift your head and hold it high, baby
Lift your head and hold it high
The 5th Marines are passing by
Honey, baby, mine

I don't want a BAR, honey
I don't want a BAR, baby
I don't want a BAR
I'll get me a babe with a candy bar
Honey, baby, mine

The Captain's got a heavy pack, honey
The Captain's got a heavy pack, baby
The Captain's got a heavy pack
Oh Lord I hope it breaks his back
Honey, baby, mine

Don't want hashmarks on my sleeve, honey
Don't want hashmarks on my sleeve, baby
Don't want hashmarks on my sleeve
All I want is a ten year leave
Honey, baby, mine

You don't have to call me sarge, honey
You don't have to call me sargе, baby
You don't have to call me sarge
All I want's a quick dischargе
Honey, baby, mine
The WACs and WAVEs will win the war, honey
The WACs and WAVEs will win the war, baby
The WACs and WAVEs will win the war
So what the heck are we marching for?
Honey, baby, mine

Lift your head and hold it high, honey
Lift your head and hold it high, baby
Lift your head and hold it high
The 5th Marines are passing by
Honey, baby, mine
