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

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

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

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

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

Wake Island Wake Island [00:00:21]

Wake Island Wake Island [00:00:22]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wake Island Wake Island [00:00:48]

Wake Island Wake Island [00:00:50]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wake Island Wake Island [00:01:16]

Wake Island Wake Island [00:01:18]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wake Island Wake Island [00:01:44]

Wake Island Wake Island [00:01:46]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wake Island Wake Island [00:02:12]

Wake Island Wake Island [00:02:14]

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

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

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

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

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

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

A few crummy Marines[00:02:36]

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

Wake Island Wake Island [00:02:41]

Wake Island Wake Island [00:02:43]

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

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

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