In May of nineteen forty one, the war had just be- gun
The Germans had the biggest ships that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck 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
[D} They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the seas
Stop those guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees
Chorus
We’ll find that German battleship that’s makin’ such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck ’cause the world depends on us
Hit the deck a-runnin’ boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck, we gotta cut ‘er 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
The fog was gone the seventh day an’ they saw the mornin sun
Ten hours away from homeland, the Bismarck made it’s run
The Admiral of the British fleet said turns those bows around
We found that German battleship, and we’re gonna cut ‘er down
The British guns were aimed and the shells were coming 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 battlecry, that shook the seven seas
Chorus
We found that German battleship that’s 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 that mighty Bismarck and we had to cut ‘er down
Yeah we found that mighty Bismarck and we then we cut ‘er down
