He sat in that long line of Barber chairs
|
And the Sergeant asked him, Son, would you like to keep your hair?
|
He said yes sir, as he heard those clippers buzzing on
|
Sergeant said, well, hold out your hand, here it comes...
|
|
Semper Fi, Do or Die
|
So Gung-ho to go and pay the price
|
Here's to Leathernecks, Devil Dogs, and Jarheads
|
And Parris Island in July, Semper Fi
|
I sleep in my bed instead of a Fox Hole
|
I've never heard my boss tell me to lock and load
|
Ain't no bullet holes in the side of my SUV
|
Because the kid next door just shipped out over seas
|
|
Semper Fi, Do or Die
|
So Gung-ho to go and pay the price
|
Here's to Leathernecks, Devil Dogs, and Jarheads
|
And Parris Island in July, Semper Fi
|
|
For the few that wear the Dress Blues
|
With haircut High and Tight
|
Who are Proud to be the first ones in a fight
|
Semper Fi
|
|
|
Semper Fi, Do or Die
|
So Gung-ho to go and pay the price
|
Here's to Leathernecks, Devil Dogs, and Jarheads
|
And Parris Island in July,
|
|
Never leave a man behind...
|
A Marine, A Marine for Life
|
Semper Fi
