3rd Battalion, 5th Marines Fight Song

"Get Some"
(to the tune of Sweet Betsy from Pike)

Old three five, Old three five is a hell of a place
The organization's a f@#*ing disgrace
With captains and majors and a light colonel too
With heads up their asses and nothing to do

They stand in the paddies, they yell and they shout
About many things they know nothing about
For all they've accomplished they might as well be
Shoveling shit in the South China Sea

Ring-a-ding-ding-ding, blow it out your ass
Better days are coming bye and bye, Bullshit!
You'll wonder where the yellow went
When napalm hits the orient

Newcombe, Newcombe, Newcombe yeah!
