I Can Name That Tune in 3 Notes

I've found another musical blogger! Stop by and visit him.

And in honor of our D-Day weekend Sing out:

The Marines' Hymn

From the halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our honor clean,
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marines.

Our flag's unfurl'd to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun.

In the snow of far-off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job -
The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve.

If the Army and the Navy
Ever gaze on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

THE ARMY SONG

First to fight, For the right,
And to build the Nations might,
And the Army goes rolling along.
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle's won
And the Army goes rolling along.

(Refrain)

Then it's Hi ! Hi ! Hey !
The Army on it's way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong,
(TWO! THREE!)
For Wher - e'er we go, you will always know,
That the Army goes rolling along.

Valley Forge, Custer's ranks,
San Juan Hill and Patton's tanks,
And the Army went rolling along
Minute men, from the start,
Always fighting from the heart,
And the Army keeps rolling along.
(Refrain)


Men in rags, men who froze,
Still that Army met its foes,
And the Army went rolling along.
Faith in God, then we're right,
And we'll fight with all our might,
As the Army keeps rolling along.
(Refrain)

United States Air Force

Off we go ~ into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing HIGH, into the sun
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At 'em boys, give 'em the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one Hell-uv-a roar!
We'll live in fame, or go down in flame,
Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,
Set it HIGH into the blue;
Hands of men blasted the world asunder,
How they lived God only knew.
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wing ever to soar!
With scouts before and bombers galore,
Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

There's a toast to the host
of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send the message of his brother, men who fly
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast,
The U.S. Air Force.

Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true,
If you've lived to be a gray-haired wonder,
Keep the nose out of the blue!
Flying men, guarding our nations borders,
We'll be there, followed by more.
In echelon we carry on!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

United States Navy

Stand Navy out to sea,
Fight our battle cry,
We'll never change our course,
So vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll out the TNT,
Anchors Aweigh,
Sail on to victory,
And sink their bones
To Davy Jones Hooray!

Anchors Aweigh, my boys
Anchors Aweigh!
Farewell to college joys,
We sail at break of day-day-day-day.
Through our last night on shore,
Drink to the foam
Until we meet once more,
Here's wishing you,
A happy voyage home!

Stand Navy down the field,
Sail set to the sky!
We'll never change our course,
So Army you steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll up the score Navy,
Anchors Aweigh!
Sail Navy down the field,
And sink the Army,
Sink the Army gray!

Stand out Navy to sea,
Fight our battle cry.
We'll never change our course,
So vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y!
Roll out the TNT,
Anchors Aweigh,
Sail on to Victory
And sink their bones to Davy Jones
HOORAY!

United States Coast Guard

From North and South and East and West
The Coast Guard's in the fight.
Destroying subs and landing troops,
The Axis feels our might.
For we're the first invaders
On every fighting field
Afloat, ashore, on men and Spars
You'll find the Coast Guard Shield

Chorus
We're always ready for the call
We place our trust in Thee.
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.
