in may of nineteen forty one
the war had just begun
the germans had the biggest ship
that had the biggest gun
the bismark was the fastest ship
that ever sailed the sea
on decks were guns as big as steers
and shells as big as trees
throughout the cold and foggy night
to finish ship the hood
every bread a seaman he knew and understood
they had to sink the bismark
the terror of the sea
stop runs as big as steers
and the shells as big as trees
they 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 running 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 better sound
when the smoke had cleared away
the mighty hood went down for such long days
and weary nights tried to find her trail
church shell 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
they find the german battleship
that's making such a fuss
we gotta sink the bismark
cause the world depends on us
we hit the decks a running 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 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 comin' fast
the first shell hit the bismark
who knew she couldn't last
that mighty german battleship
is just a memory sink
the bismark was a battle cry that shook the seven seas
we found that german battleship 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
hey we found that mighty bismark
and we had to cut her down
we found that german battleship and 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
yeah we found that mighty bismark
and then we cut her down
