Sink the Bismark
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
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

We spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismark
And then we cut her down
