[Verse 1]
December the seventh we heard about Pearl
We knew we'd be next on the list
The men of our Corps, four fifty, no more
All swore to the death to resist

[Chorus]
Wake Island (Wake Island), Wake Island (Wake Island)
It's not even marked on the maps
Our Corps raised her name to honor and fame
When we stopped the advance of the Japs

[Verse 2]
Cut off from supplies with no hope of aid
Wе sighted the first Japanesе
With thousands of troops and a task force of ships
They thought they would take us with ease

[Chorus]
Wake Island (Wake Island), Wake Island (Wake Island)
It's not even marked on the maps
Our Corps raised her name to honor and fame
When we stopped the advance of the Japs

[Verse 3]
They sent in their subs, their ships and their planes
They shelled us by day and by night
Surrender they said, we laughed at their threats
We're only beginning to fight
