Sink the Bismarck

In May of 1941, the war had just begun

The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns

The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea

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 Bismarck, the terror of the sea

Stop those guns as big as steers, and those shells as big as trees

They find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss

We gotta sink the Bismarck, 'cause the world depends on us

Hit the decks a-runnin', boys, and spin those guns around

And when we find the Bismarck, we gotta cut her down

The Hood found the Bismarck, and on that fatal day

The Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles away

"We gotta sink the Bismarck," 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 Bismarck to the bottom of the sea"

They find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss

We gotta sink the Bismarck, 'cause the world depends on us

Hit the decks a-runnin', boys, and spin those guns around

When we find the Bismarck, we gotta cut her down

The fog was gone the seventh day, and they saw the morning sun

Ten hours away from homeland, the Bismarck 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 Bismarck, they knew she couldn't last

That mighty German battleship is just a memory

"Sink the Bismarck" was the battle cry that shook the seven seas

We found that German battleship a-makin' such a fuss

We had to sink the Bismarck, 'cause the world depends on us

We hit the deck a-runnin', and we spun those guns around

Yeah, we found the mighty Bismarck, and then we cut her down

We found that German battleship a-makin' such a fuss

We had to sink the Bismarck, 'cause the world depends on us

We hit the deck a-runnin', and we spun those guns around

We found the mighty Bismarck, and then we cut her down
