Unknown - Dinkie Die Usmc Wwii Korea Lyrics

DINKIE DIE- USMC, WWII, KOREA

Way up in Korea midst rocks, ice and snow
The poor Chinese commie is feeling so low,
As our Corsairs roar by over head
He knows that his buddies will all soon be dead
Dinkie die, Dinkie Dinkie die, Dinkie die, Dinkie Dinkie die,
He knows that his buddies will all soon be dead.

Ming Pao went up to cold Koto Ri
His prize Chinese army in action to see,
He said that no battle his soldiers could loose
But all that he found were their hats and their shoes.
Dinkie die, Dinkie Dinkie die, Dinkie die, Dinkie Dinkie die,
But all that he found were their hats and their shoes.

Now uncle Joe Stalin your stooges have found
It just doesn't pay to invade foreign ground,
When you disturb the serene Asian calm
You've brought on the rockets, the bombs and napalm.
Dinkie die, Dinkie Dinkie die, Dinkie die, Dinkie Dinkie die,
You've brought on the rockets, the bombs and napalm.

So here's to Poyang Yang and to old Hagaru
To Umwagh and Key Song and Ouijang Bo
To all Gyrene pilots and Carriers at sea
And the Death Rattler Squadron old three twenty three.
Dinkie die, Dinkie Dinkie die, Dinkie die, Dinkie Dinkie die,
And the Death Rattler Squadron old three twenty three.

The Death Rattler Squadron is VMF(AW)323 who would have
accompanied the Marines to Korea again in 1968 to recover
the USS Pueblo had the order been given.
