Official Force Song
  Amphibious Training Command U.S. Atlantic Fleet

FIGHTING AMPHIBIANS
"Chorus"

Sail for the beach, Fighting Amphibians,
We land at break of day.
Vict'rys in reach, Fighting Amphibians,
Again we lead the way.

And when they write the History of the way
The War was really won,
The world will acclaim Men of the landing force
With "Amphibians, Well done."

Verse 1

Amphibians, Men of the landing force,
Amphibians, charting A Vict'ry course.
The APA's and AKA's Hurling assault boat waves
Make every Jap and all the Huns learn To fear Amphibians!

Verse 2

Amphibians, Alligator guys,
Amphibians, some of the greater Guys,
The LCI's and LCT's and LSM's and LST's
Salute our mighty landing Fleet, a navy in itself complete!

"Chorus"

An Old Sailor Story
"Truth, Fiction, and Imagination"

I was standing on the starboard deck watching the SeaGulls flying around looking for scraps of Garbage when the Ship's Chief Bosun Mate ask me to sang the Chorus of the Fighting Amphians Song. I told him my voice sounded like Sand and he should find someone else to sang the Song.....

Well, In the WW 2 U.S. Navy ..... No one dare tell the Chief Bosun Mate NO..

His Responce to No,"Well, Do You Want To Chip Paint."

Here Is the song I recorded. I know it sounds bad, but "A Sailors Gotta Do .. What A Sailors Gotta Do.....

World War 2
"Fighting Ampibians"
Does Anyone Have A Recording Of This Song?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
