US COAST GUARD!!!!!!!!
From North and South and East and West
The Coast Guard’s in the fight.
Busting subs and landing troops
The Axis feels our might.
For we’re the first invaders
On every fighting field.
From Arctic zone to tropic shore
You’ll find our Silver Shield.
So here’s the Coast Guard battle song,
We fight on land or sea.
Through howling gale and shot and shell
To win our victory.
Semper Paratus is our guide,
Our pledge, our motto, too.
We’re “always ready”, do or die
Aye, Coast Guard we fight for you!
SURVEYOR and NARCISSUS,
The EAGLE and DISPATCH,
The HUDSON and TAMPA,
These names are hard to match;
From Barrow’s shores to Paraguay,
Great Lakes or ocean’s wave,
The Coast Guard fights through storms and winds,
To punish or to save.
Aye! We’ve been “Always Ready”
To do, to fight, or die
Write glory to the shield we wear
In letters to the sky.
To sink the foe or save the maimed,
Our mission and our pride.
We’ll carry on ‘til Kingdom Come,
Ideals for which we’ve died
