Oh raise the freaking flag on Iwo Jima
On Iwo Jima, on Iwo Jima
Oh raise the freaking flag while the Japs were playing tag;

Who lead the bloody slaughter in Tarawa?
In Tarawa, in Tarawa
Who lead the bloody slaughter while MacArthur walked on water;
The United States Marines
Who mocked up hiding places in Tulagi?
In Tulagi, in Tulagi
Who mocked up hiding places while the Air Force washed their faces;
The United States Marines
Oh tuck it up their asses on Wake Island
On Wake Island, on Wake Island
Oh tuck it up their asses while the Navy watched through glasses;
The United States Marines
Oh found it bloody going on Okinawa
On Okinawa, on Okinawa
Oh found it bloody going while civilians raked the dough in;
The United States Marines
And when the war was won in Bougainville
In Bougainville, in Bougainville
They said it was such fun, so frigg' 'em all but one;
