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.
