lyrics

Lift your head and hold it high, honey

Lift your head and hold it high, baby

Lift your head and hold it high

The Fifth Marines are passing by, honey, baby mine.

I don't want a B.A.R., honey

I don't want a B.A.R., baby

I don't want a B.A.R.

I'll get me a babe with a candy bar, honey, baby mine.

The Captain's got a heavy pack, honey

The Captain's got a heavy pack, baby

The Captain's got a heavy pack

Oh, Lord I hope it breaks his back, honey, baby mine.

Don't want hashmarks on my sleeve, honey

Don't want hashmarks on my sleeve, baby

Don't want hashmarks on my sleeve

All I want's a ten year leave, honey, baby mine.

You don't have to call me Sarge, honey

You don't have to call me Sarge, baby

You don't have to call me Sarge

All I want's a quick discharge, honey, baby mine.

The WACS and WAVES will win the war, honey

The WACS and WAVES will win the war, baby

The WACS and WAVES will win the war

So what the heck are we marching for, honey, baby mine.

Lift your head and hold it high, honey

Lift your head and hold it high, baby

Lift your head and hold it high

The Fifth Marines are passing by, honey, baby mine.
