He's a target for submarines
Driftin' over the ocean
A royal sea show war machine
Steel without emotions

Pitchin', divin', rollin' battle cruiser
Prayin' upon a ship to let her sink

When the enemy is coming near,
You'll hear the thunder rollin'
Some heavy guns better cover your ears,
Imposing duty is calling

Pitchin', divin', rollin' battle cruiser
Prayin' upon a ship to let her sink

Just hear the peaceful thumping
Increase the speed and jumpin'
The crew is ready for the action
And while the guns are firing
A thousand men are dying
The enemy goes down
The battle cruiser turns around

Attacking bombers on the radar screen
There's no time for hiding
A direct hit in the engine room
Over and done with fighting

Pitchin', divin', rollin' battle cruiser
Prayin' upon a ship to let her sink
