But first, Send the Ma-rines!

What do we do? We Send The Ma-rines!

For might makes right, And till they've seen the light,

Till somebody we like can be elect-ed.

Members of the corps, all hate the thought of war.

They'd rather kill them off by peaceful means.

Stop calling it aggression, we hate that expression.
