Sand in your boots, drill instructors in your face, and a mission to “hit the beach” — this one’s for every Marine who’s ever sprinted toward chaos with a grin. Oorah! a laugh-out-loud Marine Corps parody song loaded with boot camp humor, jody rhythms, and drill instructor madness. We unpack USMC history, explore why Marines embrace the chaos, and share funny stories from veterans who’ve “hit the beach” (and the wall) more times than they can count.

(Intro — Jody style)
I don’t know but I’ve been told,Marines are crazy, brave, and bold!Hit the beach, and roll in sand,Drill Sergeant’s shoutin’, “Move it, man!”

(Verse 1)
Boot camp’s here, no time to think,Sergeant’s yellin’, “You all stink!”“Throw sand on the wall, make a beach,Now hit it, maggot, on my speech!”
We run, we sweat, we low-crawl fast,Laughin’ hard, but better last.Push-ups in mud, chow hall chow,Did I just call my rifle a cow?

(Chorus — Jody rhythm)
OORAH, Marine Corps, born to fight,Day or night, we train it right.Hit the deck, roll in the sand,Drill Instructor’s got command!From Tun Tavern to the Baghdad sun,Marines are tough — and slightly fun.OORAH, Marine Corps, make some noise,We’re Uncle Sam’s problem-solving boys!

(Verse 2)
History says we’re Devil Dogs,From Iwo Jima to jungle bogs.Leathernecks with iron jaws,Breaking hearts and breaking laws.
Parris Island, sand flea town,Drill Sergeant screams, we all drop down.“Get off my bus, you walkin’ wreck,Your mama’s cryin’, what the heck?!”

(Bridge)
Semper Fi, do or die,Chesty Puller in the sky.PT in rain, PT in snow,We don’t stop — we just go!

(Final Chorus — Jody rhythm)
OORAH, Marine Corps, loud and proud,Drillin’ hard, we draw a crowd.Hit the beach, don’t lose your head,We’ll make you laugh, then make your bed.From the halls of Montezuma’s pride,To the shores where Marines reside.OORAH, Marine Corps, tip your hat,Maggots now, but Devil Dogs stat!
