1,2,3,4

After every line the platoon sergeant sings,
the platoon says MARINE CORPS!

1,2..3,4 1,2..3,4 1,2..3,4 1,2..3,4

Army Navy just wasn’t for me,
Air Force is just too easy.
What I needed was a little bit more,
Another life, It’s hard core.

Chorus

Parris Island’s where it all began,
A little island with lots of sand.
Can’t forget about Hollywood,
San Diego, well it’s all good.

Chorus

First phase, broke me down,
Second phase, started coming around.
Third phase, I was lean and mean,
Graduation, standing tall in my greens.

Chorus

Iwo Jima to the Guadalcanal,
Kickin’ butt justa everwhere.
Frozen Chosin to the Ho Chi Min Trail,
Takin’ names and’a kickin’ tail.

Chorus

Come on Momma gonna sing ya some more!
For those of you, who ask me why,
Well here’s to you, and here’s my reply.
I’ll be a Marine ’til the day that I die,

OoRah motivated, Semper Fi!
