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
