Answer: Marines' Hymn

The complete lyrics to the opening are:

"In eighteen hundred one the Revolution had been won
And Uncle Sam's favorite son had a job he needed done
Which brought Jack to a lady, both beautiful and smart
Who found his mix intriguing, a scoundrel with a heart!

From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli
There was never a leatherneck braver, a Daring Dragoon is he
He'll halt the bold advance of Napoleon's attack
There ain't a French or pirate rogue who don't... know Jack!

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli
Sailing round the bloody world to defend democracy
And when ya need a fighting man ya'd trust to watch yer back
Just ask the bloke right next ta ya
it's Jack!"
