I wouldn't give a bean to be a fancy pants Marine;
I'd rather be a dogface soldier like I am.
I wouldn't trade my old ODs for all the Navys dungarees,

For I'm the walking pride of Uncle Sam.
On all the posters that I read
It says the Army builds men,

So they're tearing me down
To build me over again!
I'm just a dogface soldier

With a rifle on my shoulder,
And I eat raw meat for breakfast every day.
So feed me ammunition,

Keep me in the 3rd Division
Your dogface soldier boys okay
