Marines
by John Cerullo
Who’s the man as straight as a board
Who’s the man that carries a sword
He is a Marine on parade
He is the one that comes to aid
To aid his country in time of strive
To help the old and give new life
His duty calls twenty for hours a day
For all these hours receives little pay
Pay in money is such a little thing
Payment in tribute is what it brings
Though payment in tribute brings little to thee.
Let’s all the people and nations see
See what a strong land we have here
And the people that make it have no fear
Fear of oppression and Tyrants be
This is a free land as you can see
