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

Written by：Oscar Brand[00:00:01]

December the seventh we heard about pearl[00:00:06]

We knew we'd be next on the list[00:00:11]

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[00:00:23]

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[00:00:32]

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

We sighted the first Japanese[00:00:39]

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

They thought they could take us with ease[00:00:46]

Wake island wake island[00:00:49]

Wake island wake island[00:00:51]

It's not even marked on the map[00:00:53]

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

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

They sent in their subs their ships and their planes[00:01:04]

They shelled us by day and by night[00:01:07]

Surrender they said we laughed at their threats[00:01:11]

We're only beginning to fight[00:01:14]

Wake island wake island[00:01:18]

Wake island wake island[00:01:19]

It's not even marked on the map[00:01:21]

Our corps raised her name into honor and fame[00:01:25]

When they stopped the advance of the Japs[00:01:28]

Our four hundred fifty cost six thousand Japs[00:01:32]

Our fighters downed twenty eight planes[00:01:36]

We sank two destroyers and one submarine[00:01:39]

Six others got shelled for their pains[00:01:43]

Wake island wake island[00:01:46]

Wake island wake island[00:01:48]

It's not even marked on the map[00:01:50]

Our corps raised her name into honor and fame[00:01:53]

When they stopped the advance of the Japs[00:01:57]

Our plan was to fight to the very last man[00:02:01]

But Deveraux gave this command[00:02:04]

There's a thousand civilians I can't sacrifice[00:02:08]

We'll have to surrender our band[00:02:11]

Wake island wake island[00:02:15]

Wake island wake island[00:02:16]

It's not even marked on the map[00:02:18]

Our corps raised her name into honor and fame[00:02:22]

When they stopped the advance of the Japs[00:02:26]

As we lay down our arms on the twenty third day[00:02:29]

The japs cheered the news of defeat[00:02:33]

But they could not believe[00:02:36]

A few crummy marines[00:02:38]

Had stopped the whole Japanese fleet[00:02:40]

Wake island wake island[00:02:43]

Wake island wake island[00:02:45]

It's not even marked on the map[00:02:47]

Our corps raised her name into honor and fame[00:02:51]

When they stopped the advance of the Japs[00:02:54]
