December the 7th,
A

we heard about Pearl,
E
A

One man of our Corps, 450 no more,
B
E
all swore to the death to resist.
E
A
E
Akare's her name to honor and fame,
B
E
And we stopped the advance of the Japs.
E
B
We sighted the first Japanese.
A
E
and a task force of ships,
It's not even marked on
A
E
to honor and fame
B
E
We stopped the advance of the Japs
They sent in their subs,
E
B
E
We're only beginning to fight
A
E
Wake Is land, Wake Island, Wake Island
A
E
to honor and fame,
We've stopped the ad
B
E
vance of the Japs.
A
E
Our 450 cost 6 ,000 Japs,
A

and one submarine,
B
E
Six others got shelled for their pains.
A

Wake Island, Wake Island, Wake Island,
E
A
E
The Corps is her name, to honor and fame,
B

We stop the advance of the Japs.
Our plan was to fight
A

to the very last man,
A

I can't sacrifice,
B
E
We'll have to surrender our band.
A

Wake Island, Wake Island,
A

honor and fame,
When we stopped the ad
B

vance of the Japs.
Yes, we laid on our arms
A

on the 23rd day,
The Japs cheered the news of defeat.

But they could not believe
B

Japanese fleet.

It's not even marked on the maps.

A chorus her name to honor and fame
