Verse
In May of nine-teen for-ty-one
The war had just be-gun
The Ger-mans had the big-gest ship
That had the big-gest guns
The Bis-marck was the fast-est ship
That e-ver sailed the seas
On her deck were guns as big as steers
And shells as big as trees
Out of the cold and fog-gy night
Came the Bri-tish ship the Hood
And ev'-ry Bri-tish sea-man
He knew and un-der-stood
They had to sink the Bis-marck
The ter-ror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers
And those shells as big as trees
Chorus
We'll find that Ger-man bat-tle-ship
That's mak-in' such a fuss
We got-ta sink the Bis-marck
'Cause the world de-pends on us
They hit the decks a-run-nin' boys
And spin those guns a-round
When we find the Bis-marck
We got-ta cut her down
