Lyrics
1. We are Uncle Sam’s Marines
We’re out on shore parade
To do his duty each man means
For no one is afraid
In uniforms of blue and gold
We’re at our country’s call
If danger comes, we’ll face the foe
No matter what befall
Refrain:
Top the trumpet’s call
In line we fall
We fear no foeman great or small
With beat of drum
They’ll hear us come
We’re there whatever befall
With colors gay, we’ll march away
We act like brave true-hearted tars
To home and country ever true
We love the stripes and the stars
2. We are Uncle Sam’s Marines
We’re proud to wear the blue
We’ll trouble share and dangers dare
To home and country true
For Uncle Sam we’ll do or die
Like brave true-hearted tars
Our colors we will never forsake
We love the stripes and stars
