Lyrics:
Mama, mama don’t you see / What the Corps has done to me
Put me in a barber’s chair / Snip, snap and I had no hair
If I die in a combat zone / Box me up and ship me home
Put me in a set of dress blues / Comb my hair and shine my shoes
Pin my medals upon my chest / Tell my mama I did my best
Mama, mama don’t you cry / Marine Corps motto is Do or Die

Mama, Mama don’t you see / What the Corps has done to me
Mama, Mama don’t you see / I told you you’d be proud of me
