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 stairs
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, his biggest steers,
and those shells, his biggest trees
Define that German battleship
that's making such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck,
cause the world depends on us
He hit the decks a -runnin', boys,
and spin those guns around
But 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 asail
Cause somewhere on that ocean,
I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismarck
to the bottom of the sea
They find that German battleship
that's making such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck
cause the world depends on us
They hit the decks of 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
was making such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck,
cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck of running
and we spun those guns around,
yeah
We found that mighty Bismarck
and we cut the gutter down
We found that German battleship
for making such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck,
or else the world, it ends on us
We hit the deck a -runnin'
and we spun those guns around
We found that mighty Bismarck
and then we cut her down
