Coast guard cadence fever

(Left, left, left, right,

get in step)

Up in the morning before the sun!

(Coast Guard duty has just begun!) Sound off!

(One, two!)

Sound off! (Three, four!)

Hurricane blowing category five!

(Storm clouds churning, sea alive!) Jayhawk flying through the gale!

(Rescue basket over the rail!)

Lower the swimmer into the foam!

(Bringing those stranded sailors home!)

Semper Paratus, born of the sea!

(Guarding the coast for you and me!) From the breaking surf to

the open sound! (Finest crew that can be found!) (Left,

left, left, right, keep it in step!)

Flares going up in the dark of night!

(Search and rescue, spot that light!)

Motor lifeboat in the heavy swell!

(Riding the breakers through the swell!) Got the coordinates,

lock the grid!

(Save that sailor like we always did!)

Go-fast boat in the southern sea!

(Running contraband illicitly!)

Cutters surging through the spray!

(Intercept that target right away!)

Over the horizon, seize the load!

(Cut off trafficking down the road!)

Semper Paratus, born of the sea!

(Guarding the coast for you and me!) From the breaking surf to

the open sound!

(Finest crew that can be found!)

(Left, right, left, right,

all the way home!)

Sound off!

(One,

two!)

Sound off!

(Three,

four!) Coast Guard walking proud!

(Say it loud!) (Hoo-ah!)
