You can have your Army Khaki.
You can have your Navy blues.
I have another uniform to introduce to you.

This uniform is different, this uniform is green.
The Germans called us Devil Dogs,
The name is just Marine!

We were born at Parris Island,
The land that GOD forgot.
Where the sand is 18 inches deep, and the blazing sun is hot.
We get up in the morning, way before the sun,
We run 100 miles or more before the day is done.

Marines, Marines, Marines

So listen to me girl to what I have to say,
You find yourself a good Marine for each and every day,
He'll love you and he'll kiss you, he'll never be untrue,
You get yourself a good Marine for each and every day.

Marines, Marines, Marines

So when I get to Heaven to St. Peter I will say,
"Another Marine reporting Sir, I'll spend my time in hell",

Marines, Marines, Marines

But when I look around me, oh, what will I see?
One hundred thousand more Marines standing next to me!

Marines, Marines, Marines
