Sink the Bismark

Lyrics

In May of 1941, the war had just begun
 The Germans had the biggest ships
 That had the biggest guns
 The Bismark was the fastest ship
 That ever sailed the seas
 On her decks were guns as big as steers
 And shells as big as trees
 Out of the cold and foggy night
 Came the British ship, the Hood
 And every British seaman, he knew and understood
 They had to sink the Bismark, the terror of the sea
 Stop those guns as big as steers
 And those shells as big as trees
 We'll find that German battleship
 That's makin' such a fuss
 We gotta sink the Bismark
 'Cause the world depends on us
 We hit the decks a-runnin' boys
 And spin those guns around
 When we find the Bismark
 We gotta cut her down
 
 The Hood found the Bismark and on that fatal day
 The Bismark started firin' fifteen miles away
 We gotta sink the Bismark, was the battle sound
 But when the smoke had cleared away
 The mighty Hood went down
 For six long days and weary nights
 They tried to find her trail
 Churchill told the people put every ship a-sail
 'Cause somewhere on that ocean
 I know she's gotta be
 We gotta sink the Bismark to the bottom of the sea
 We'll find that German battleship
 That's makin' such a fuss
 We gotta sink the Bismark
 'Cause the world depends on us
 We hit the decks a-runnin' boys
 And spin those guns around
 When we find the Bismark
 We gotta cut her down
 
 The fog was gone the seventh day
 And they saw the mornin' sun
 Ten hours away from homeland
 The Bismark made its run
 The admiral of the British fleet said
 Turn those bows around
 We found that German battleship
 And we're gonna cut her down
 The British guns were aimed
 And the shells were comin' fast
 The first shell hit the Bismark
 They knew she couldn't last
 That mighty German battleship is just a memory
 Sink the Bismark was the battle cry
 That shook the seven seas
 We found that German battleship
 For makin' such a fuss
 We had to sink the Bismark
 'Cause the world depends on us
 We hit the deck a-runnin' and
 We spun those guns around
 If we found the mighty Bismark
 And we're gonna cut her down
 We found that German battleship
 For makin' such a fuss
 We had to sink the Bismark
 'Cause the world depends on us
 We hit the deck a-runnin' and
 We spun those guns around
 We found the mighty Bismark
 And then we cut her down
