I left the sky in the middle of the night I hit the deck and I'm ready to fight. Colt .45 and Kabar by my side These are the tools that make men die.
Hail, hail, infantry Queen of battles, follow me Marine Corps life is the life for me Cause nothing in this life is free.
Here I lie in this foreign land Bleeding on this foreign sand. Ground around me turning red By the time they find me, I'll be dead.
Hail, hail, infantry Queen of battles, follow me Marine Corps life is the life for me Cause nothing in this life is free.
In the middle of the night in the drizzle and rain, I packed my chute and ran to the plane. Mission top secret mission unknown, We do not know if we're ever comin' home. Stand up buckled up shuffled to the door, Jumped right out the plane and shout MARINE CORPS! If my chute don't open wide I've got another one by my side. If that chute don't open round I'll be the first one on the ground.
Hail, hail, infantry Queen of battles, follow me Marine Corps life is the life for me Cause nothing in this life is free.
Tell my mama not to cry Cause in the Corps it's do or die. Pin my wings upon my chest Tell my girl I've done my best. Place a Kabar in my hand. I'll fight my way to the promised land.
Orraaahhh! Blood and Guts Orraaahhh! Everywhere Blood and Guts everywhere We're lean and mean We're the US Marines Orraaahhh! Semper Fi! Cause int the Corps we're do or die! Hail, hail, infantry Queen of battles, follow me Marine Corps life is the life for me Cause I'm Marine Corps infantry!
