Current song lyrics
And the crabs are crazy, they scuttle back and forth, the sand is burning<br />And the fish take flight and scatter from the sight, their courses turning<br />As the seagulls rest on the cold cannon nest, the sea is churning.<br />The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo.<br />The fishermen sweat, they're pausing at their nets, the day's a-burning<br />As the warships sway and thunder in the bay, loud the morning.<br />But the boy on the shore is throwing pebbles no more, he runs a-warning<br />That the the marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo.<br />The streets are still, there's silence in the hills, the town is sleeping<br />And the farmers yawn in the grey silver dawn, the fields they're keeping<br />As the first troops land and step into the sand, the flags are weaving.<br />The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo.<br />The unsmiling sun is shining down upon the singing soldiers<br />In the cloud dust whirl they whistle at the girls, they're getting bolder<br />The old women sigh, think of memories gone by, they shrug their shoulders.<br />The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo.<br />Ready for the tricks, their bayonets are fixed, now they are rolling<br />And the tanks make tracks past the trembling shacks where fear's unfolding<br />All the young wives afraid, turn their backs to the parade with babes they're holding<br />The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo<br />A bullet cracks the sound, the army hit the ground, the sniper's callin'<br />So they open their guns, a thousand to one, no sense in stalling<br />He clutches at his head and totters on the edge, look now he's falling<br />The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo<br />In the red plaza square, the crowds come to stare, the heat is leaning<br />And the eyes of the dead are turning every head to the widows screaming<br />But the soldiers make a bid, giving candy to the kids, their teeth are gleaming<br />The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo<br />Up and down the coast, the generals drink a toast, the wheel is spinning<br />And the cowards and the whores are peeking through the doors to see who's winning<br />But the traitors will pretend that it's getting near the end, when it's beginning<br />The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo<br />And the crabs are crazy, they scuttle back and forth, the sand is burning<br />And the fish take flight and scatter from the sight, their courses turning<br />As the seagulls rest on the cold cannon nest, the sea is churning<br />The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
