Pua Pua - Oscar Brand

We'll remember Colonel Edson

How he led us to the fight

We'll remember major chambers

How he fought with all his might

We'll remember the raiders

As we marched into the fray

And we'll remember pua pua

When we're back in the U S A

We'll remember the captains

They were flighty as a flea

And we'll remember the lieutenants

They were goofy as can be

And we'll remember the sergeants

For they always led the way

And we'll remember pua pua

When we're back in the U S A

We'll remember August seventh

When we landed on the beach

We'll remember tulagi

And the japs we had to reach

We'll remember that mop up

While the mortars banged away

Yes we'll remember pua pua

When we're back in the U S A

We'll remember the island

And the jungle damp and rot

We'll remember the noon hours

While the sun shone bright and hot

We'll remember the raiders

How we fought both night and day

And we'll remember pua pua

When we're back in the U S A
