I was sittin¡¯ in a bar, boozin¡¯ and losin¡¯
|
And some jackoff walks up cruisin¡¯ for a bruisin¡¯
|
Poppin¡¯ off and makin¡¯ my whole redneck red
|
He asked my girl if she¡¯d like to dance
|
He had three buddies so I had no chance
|
I looked around the room for a friend and I saw Fred
|
A quick evaluation of the situation
|
And we entered into a conversation
|
It seemed to last the better part of the next two songs
|
Now I didn¡¯t say and they didn¡¯t ask
|
But Fred did two tours over in Iraq
|
And, son, it was over before it was even on.

|
Call a Marine
|
Instead of 911
|
They¡¯re built to improvise, adapt and overcome
|
When you¡¯re in knee deep and you¡¯re up shit¡¯s creek
|
And you¡¯ve tried everything
|
Tell you what you do
|
Call a Marine!
|
|
Now my sister¡¯s husband didn¡¯t love her no more
|
And he runned off with a skinny little whore
|
And left her sittin¡¯ around the house with a couple of kids
|
She just lays around in that muumuu gown
|
Old girl put on about 35 pounds
|
One day I went over to her house and I said, ¡°Hey, sis¡±
|
If you wanna fix what troubles you
|
Just ease down to the VFW
|
And you¡¯ll walk through the door and turns those boys¡¯ heads
|
For most of those boys it¡¯s been awhile
|
Just show a little leg and that Marlboro smile
|
And if that don¡¯t work out for you, girl, ask for Fred.
|
|
Call a Marine
|
Instead of 911
|
They¡¯re built to improvise, adapt and overcome
|
If you¡¯re in knee deep and you¡¯re up shit¡¯s creek
|
You¡¯ve tried everything
|
Tell you what you do
|
Call a Marine!
|
|
Some douche bag rises up and overthrows his government
|
Diplomacy ain¡¯t workin¡¯ and the ammos all been spent
|
The world is in a crisis and the media¡¯s a curse
|
I¡¯ll tell you what to do
|
When it goes from bad to worse
|
|
Call a Marine
|
Instead of 911
|
They¡¯re built to improvise, adapt and overcome
|
When you¡¯re in knee deep and you¡¯re up shit¡¯s creek
|
And you¡¯ve tried everything
|
Tell you what you do
|
Call a Marine!
|
|
Tell you what to do, baby
|
You can call...
|
Call a Marine!
|
Yeah! Yeah!
|
