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 evry 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



We'll find that German battleship thats 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 thats 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 on 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
