On the Lighter Side with Limis Ward

Obama's Marine Hymn

 

 

From the safety of our battleships

Far from Somalis

We will write the U.N. letters

To protest this piracy

First to raise our voice in outrage

First to call our enemies mean

We are proud to claim the title

Of United States Marines

 

We have changed our fighting attitude

For the modern age to come

Now we beg, petition, and discuss

And we never need a gun

At The Hague's World Court of Justice

There our pleadings will be seen

You will find us always on the job

The United States Marines.

 

Here's health to you and to our Corps

We will grow old as we serve

Cause we never raise our weapons

Except to fight some right-wing perv

If the Army and the Navy

Ever look on ACORN's scenes

They will find their doors are guarded

By United States Marines.
