《Wake Island》歌词

[00:00:00] Wake Island - Oscar Brand

[00:00:07] December the seventh we heard about Pearl

[00:00:10] We knew we'd be next on the list

[00:00:14] The men of our Corps four fifty no more

[00:00:17] All swore to the death to resist

[00:00:21] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:00:22] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:00:24] It's not even marked on the map

[00:00:28] Our Corps raised her name into honor and fame

[00:00:31] When they stopped the advance of the Japs

[00:00:35] Cut off from supplies with no hope of aid

[00:00:38] We sighted the first Japanese

[00:00:42] With thousands of troops and a task force of ships

[00:00:45] They thought they could take us with ease

[00:00:48] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:00:50] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:00:52] It's not even marked on the map

[00:00:56] Our Corps raised her name into honor and fame

[00:00:59] When they stopped the advance of the Japs

[00:01:03] They sent in their subs their ships and their planes

[00:01:06] They shelled us by day and by night

[00:01:09] Surrender they said we laughed at their threats

[00:01:13] We're only beginning to fight

[00:01:16] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:01:18] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:01:20] It's not even marked on the map

[00:01:24] Our Corps raised her name into honor and fame

[00:01:27] When they stopped the advance of the Japs

[00:01:30] Our four hundred fifty cost six thousand Japs

[00:01:34] Our fighters downed twenty eight planes

[00:01:38] We sank two destroyers and one submarine

[00:01:41] Six others got shelled for their pains

[00:01:44] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:01:46] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:01:48] It's not even marked on the map

[00:01:52] Our Corps raised her name into honor and fame

[00:01:55] When they stopped the advance of the Japs

[00:01:59] Our plan was to fight to the very last man

[00:02:02] But Deveraux gave this command

[00:02:05] There's a thousand civilians I can't sacrifice

[00:02:09] We'll have to surrender our band

[00:02:12] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:02:14] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:02:16] It's not even marked on the map

[00:02:20] Our Corps raised her name into honor and fame

[00:02:23] When they stopped the advance of the Japs

[00:02:27] As we lay down our arms on the twenty third day

[00:02:31] The Japs cheered the news of defeat

[00:02:34] But they could not believe

[00:02:36] A few crummy Marines

[00:02:38] Had stopped the whole Japanese fleet

[00:02:41] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:02:43] Wake Island Wake Island

[00:02:45] It's not even marked on the map

[00:02:48] Our Corps raised her name into honor and fame

[00:02:52] When they stopped the advance of the Japs
