The Sinking of the Graf Spee Lyrics by Sods’ Opera

2009

Oh, there was a jolly ship built in Nazi Germany
And the name of ship was the Admiral Graf Spee
She looted merchantmen of every nationality
As she sailed upon the rolling bowling
As she sailed upon the rolling sea
She met three cruisers of the British navy
And to stop them she knew but Berlin on the spree
There commander laugh out loud
Now many games there will be
For I'll sink them beneath the rolling bowling
For I'll sink them neath the rolling sea
She fired her mighty guns did the mighty graf spee
Her Captain laughed out loud
And hugged himself with plea?
He swore a hasty oath
As the little Cruisers 3 came dashing
On the rolling bowling
Came dashing on the rolling sea
To the helm quick he cried
And turn face like Beverlee
Or are Fuhrer's small staff will never live to see
With his tail between his legs
In his life, he would flee
He went scurrying all the rolling bowling
He went scurrying through the rolling sea
Yes the berry went to cover
For the British bulldog, bite had hurt it painfully
The fireman speeding forward for he had seen?
Would end beneath the rolling bowling
Would end beneath the rolling sea
And yes this was the end of Graf Spee
And perhaps for this that a pocketship was she
For in davy jones struggled most ingloriously
She rusts beneath the rolling bowling
She rusts beneath the rolling sea
