"Sink the Bismark" (later "Sink the Bismarck") is a march song by American country music singer Johnny Horton and songwriter Tillman Franks, based on the pursuit and eventual sinking of the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941, during World War II.
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 ...
'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be. We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea. We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss.

Original lyrics. 5 translations. Sink the Bismarck lyrics. In May of nineteen forty-one. 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 seas. On her deck were guns as big as steers. And shells as big as trees. Out of the cold and foggy night.
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 'cause the world depends on us. Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around.
