In eighteen-hundred-one
The Revolution had been won,
And Uncle Sam's favorite son
Had a job he needed done.

Which brought Jack to a lady,
Both beautiful and smart?
Who found his mix intriguing,
scoundrel with a heart!

From the halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli,
There was never a leatherneck braver,
Daring Dragoon is he.

He'll halt the bold advance
Of Napoleon's attack,
There aren't French or pirate rogues who don't…
Know Jack!

From the halls of Montezuma
to the shores of Tripoli,
Sailing around the bloody world
To defend democracy.

And when ya need a fighting man
Ya’d [bad word] to watch yer back,
Just ask the bloke right next ta ya –  [bad word] right!) –
It's… Jack!
