''In May of 1941 the war had just begun The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns The Bismarck 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 Bismarck the terror of the sea Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down.''
