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 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)
“God has a hard-on for a Marine because we kill everything we see. He plays His game, we play ours.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
