The first Marine went over the ditch
Parle vous
The second Marine went over the ditch
Parle vous
The third Marine fell in the ditch
And called the captain a son of a bitch
Hinkey dinkey parle vous

Heard at my school in the late 1950s.


The first Marine went over the wall
Parle vous
The second Marine went over the wall
Parle vous
The third Marine went over the wall
Got hit in the ass by a cannon ball
Inkey dinkey parle vous
(There were several different verses of this)
