Sink The Bismark Lyrics

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 bid 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
