What with president johnson practicing escalatio on the vietnamese and then the dominican crisis on top of that it has been a nervous year and people have begun to feel like a christian scientis |
|
H appendicitis. fortunately in times of crisis just like this america always has this number one instrument of diplomacy to fall back on. here's a song about it. |
|
When someone makes a move |
|
Of which we don't approve, |
|
Who is it that always intervenes? |
|
U.n. and o.a.s., |
|
They have their place, i guess, |
|
But first send the marines! |
|
We'll send them all we've got, |
|
John wayne and randolph scott, |
|
Remember those exciting fighting scenes? |
|
To the shores of tripoli, |
|
But not to mississippoli, |
|
What do we do? we send the marines! |
|
For might makes right, |
|
And till they've seen the light, |
|
They've got to be protected, |
|
All their rights respected, |
|
'till somebody we like can be elected. |
|
Members of the corps |
|
All hate the thought of war, |
|
They'd rather kill them off by peaceful means. |
|
Stop calling it aggression, |
|
O we hate that expression. |
|
We only want the world to know |
|
That we support the status quo. |
|
They love us everywhere we go, |
|
So when in doubt, |
|
Send the marines! |
