Song of The 2nd Marine
- If anyone doubts your courage
- On your flag he sees the history of France
- From Mexico to Verdun, El Alamein in Tonkin
- The porpoise leaps forward
- In its folds fits every victory
- Including the big names attest to its glory
- For a porpoise, then, what is more beautiful
- How to fight everywhere for its flag
- Walking fine regiment of France
- Boldly go thy way
- Do your duty without failure
- This is the law of all Porpoises
- Wherever France call you
- Bravely you to conquer it
- Forward your valor watch
- Second Marine of France

Famous quotes containing the words song of the, song of, song and/or marine:
“Water. Its sunny track in the plain; its splashing in the garden canal, the sound it makes when in its course it meets the mane of the grass; the diluted reflection of the sky together with the fleeting sight of the reeds; the Negresses fill their dripping gourds and their red clay containers; the song of the washerwomen; the gorged fields the tall crops ripening.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.”
—Bible: Hebrew The Song of Solomon 2:5.
“A song is no song unless the circumstance is free and fine. If a singer sing from a sense of duty or from seeing no way to escape, I had rather have none. Those only can sleep who do not care to sleep; and those only write or speak best who do not too much respect the writing or the speaking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
