OVER THE SEA -LET'S GO MEN
WE'RE SHOVIN' RIGHT OFF

IT MAY BE SHANGHAI
FAREWELL & GOOD -BY
SALLY & SUE DON'T BE BLUE
WE'LL JUST BE GONE FOR
YEARS AND YEARS AND THEN
WE'RE SHOVIN' RIGHT OFF FOR HOME
WE'RE SHOVIN' RIGHT OFF FOR HOME
Song of the Marines 1937
from the movie
"The Singing Marine" starring Dick Powell as PFC Bob Brent, a young Marine from Arkansas, impresses his comrades with his singing ability, and they pitch in to send him to New York to compete in an amateur contest. Success in the contest, however, sets him up for trouble in romance, in his career, and with the Corps. The finale here is from Shanghai and the famous 4th Marine Regiment - favorite pub OOO RRAH !!
This rousing good - fun song is coming back to the active United States Marine Corps bands and is sung at Center House Marine Barracks D.C. every Friday night. Unlike the sacred United States Marine Corps Hymn it is a drinking / relaxed salute to the world's most disciplined and aggressive fighting force .... Semper Fidelis Leathernecks ptb /
