Take down the blue star from your window,
Replace it with one made of gold.
Your son's [in Amphibious Recon*]
He'll die ere he's 19 years old.

Chorus:
Bring back, oh bring back
Oh bring back the Old Corps [var as sung by draftees: my civvies] to me, to me"
Bring back, oh bring back, or bring back the Old Corps to me.

Our sergeants are satchel-assed bastards,
Our corporals drink all of our gin,
Our second lieutenants are fairies,
What a hell of an outfit I'm in!

*any appropriate seven syllable phrase may be substituted -- such as
"a fat 6th Marine trooper" (the original "pogie bait Marines.").

"The Old Corps"---Traditional Marine Corps song sung to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"
