Sink The Bismarck Lyrics

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



We'll find that German battleship that's making such a fuss.

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

We hit the decks a-running, boys, and spin those guns around.

When we find the Bismarck, we gotta cut her down.



The Hood found the Bismarck and, on that fatal day,

The Bismarck started firing 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."



We'll find that German battleship that's making such a fuss.

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

We hit the decks a-running, 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 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 battle cry that shook the seven seas.



We found that German battleship for making such a fuss.

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

We hit the deck a-running and we spun those guns around.

We found that mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down.



We found that German battleship for making such a fuss.

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

We hit the deck a-running and we spun those guns around.

We found that mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down.
