In may of nineteen forty-one 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 deck 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 ev'ry 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 |
|
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 ev'ry 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 |
|
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 |
|
Was 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 |
|
We found that german battleship |
|
Was 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 |
