| ‽Dig in, boys, for an extended stay†| |
| Those were the final orders to come down that day | |
| Waiting to be saved in the Philippines | |
| You'll wait forever for the young Marines | |
| Now I believe to be here is right | |
| But I have to say that I'm scared tonight | |
| Crouching in this hole with a mouth full of sand | |
| What comes first, the country or the man? | |
| Look at those slanted eyes | |
| Coming up over the hill | |
| Catching us by surprise | |
| It's time to kill or to be killed | |
| Over here, over there | |
| It's the same everywhere | |
| A boy cries out for his mama | |
| Before he dies for his home | |
| All my life I wanted to be | |
| As clever and strong as my best friend Lee | |
| We grew up together along Half Moon Bay | |
| Lee was Japanese, born in the USA | |
| When Tommy was fighting Jerry along the River Seine | |
| Me and Lee, we wanted to do the same | |
| Then they bombed Pearl Harbor at the break of day | |
| I was headed for these islands while Lee was hauled away | |
| They said, ‽Look at his slanted eyes | |
| He's guilty as guilty can be†| |
| Sent here as enemy spies | |
| To sabotage the Land of the Free | |
| Over here, over there | |
| It's the same everywhere | |
| A boy cries out for his mama | |
| Before he dies for his home | |
| I never got home, my platoon was never saved | |
| That little foxhole became my island grave | |
| Lee got out of jail but a prisoner he remained | |
| 'Til he ended his own life to lose that ball and chain | |
| And they said, ‽Oh, Little Slanted Eyes | |
| Can't you forgive and forget?" | |
| And he said, ‽Oh, Mr. Friendly Ghost | |
| Can you catch water in a net?†| |
| Over here, over there | |
| It's the same everywhere | |
| A boy cries out for his mama | |
| Before he dies for his home | |
| A boy cries out for his mama | |
| Before he dies for his home |
| Dig in, boys, for an extended stay | |
| Those were the final orders to come down that day | |
| Waiting to be saved in the Philippines | |
| You' ll wait forever for the young Marines | |
| Now I believe to be here is right | |
| But I have to say that I' m scared tonight | |
| Crouching in this hole with a mouth full of sand | |
| What comes first, the country or the man? | |
| Look at those slanted eyes | |
| Coming up over the hill | |
| Catching us by surprise | |
| It' s time to kill or to be killed | |
| Over here, over there | |
