andlt;martial drum rollsandgt;
In may of nineteen forty-one 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 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 evand'ry 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
weand'll find that german battleship thatand's makinand' such a fuss
we gotta sink the bismarck cause the world depends on us
hit the decks a-runninand' boys and spin those guns around
when we find the bismark we gotta cut her down
The hood found the bismarck and on that fatal day
the bismarck started firinand' fifteen miles away
andquot;we gotta sink the bismarckandquot; 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 andquot;put evand'ry ship a-sail
and'cause somewhere on that ocean i know sheand's gotta be
we gotta sink the bismarck to the bottom of the seaandquot;
weand'll find that german battleship thatand's makinand' such a fuss
we gotta sink the bismarck cause the world depends on us
hit the decks a-runninand' 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 morninand' sun
ten hours away from homeland the bismarck made its run
the admiral of the british fleet said andquot;turn those bows around
we found that german battleship and weand're gonna cut her downandquot;
The british guns were aimed and the shells were cominand' fast
the first shell hit the bismarck, they knew she couldnand't last
that mighty german battleship is just a memory
andquot;sink the bismarckandquot; was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
We found that german battleship was makinand' such a fuss
we had to sink the bismarck and'cause the world depends on us
we hit the deck a-runninand' and we spun those guns around
yeah, we found the mighty bismarck and then we cut her down
We found that german battleship was makinand' such a fuss
we had to sink the bismarck and'cause the world depends on us
we hit the deck a-runninand' and we spun those guns around
we found the mighty bismarck and then we cut her down
