Karaoké Sink the Bismark Johnny Horton

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 sea

On her decks 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 every 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 that's makin' such a fuss

We gotta sink the Bismark 'cos 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 every ship a-sail"

'Cos somewhere on that ocean

I know she's gotta be

We gotta send 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 'cos 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 for makin' such a fuss

We had to sink the Bismark 'cos the world depends on us

We hit the decks a-runnin' and we spun those guns around

Yeah, we found the mighty Bismark and then we cut her down

We found that

German battleship for makin' such a fuss

We had to sink the Bismark 'cos the world depends on us

We hit the decks a-runnin' and we spun those guns around

We found the mighty Bismark and then we cut her down
