Sink the Bismarck lyrics

In May of nineteen forty-one

The war had just begun

The Germans had the biggest ship

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 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

(REF:)

We'll find that German battleship

That's making 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 firing

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

(REF)

The fog was gone on the seventh day

And they saw the morning 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 coming 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
