Mel: The Battle Hymn of the Republic :link to midi file http://www.discoverynet.com/~ajsnead/patriotic/midi/battle.mid (http://www.discoverynet.com/%7Eajsnead/patriotic/midi/battle.mid)
(Glory, glory, halleluja, and the truth ......... and so on...)


Bernard was born a German,
And when he became eighteen.
(He) left behind his mom and dad,
And joined a German submarine.

Many things been said about his
Journey on the sea,
And the job he did for
Germany.

Ref:

Glory, glory, he’s a sailor on a sub
Glory, glory, educated from the tub
Glory, glory, throw him off this u-boat, please
The worst sailor on the seven seas!

Somewhere in the Atlantic,
In the spring of -41,
Herr Kaleun spotted a tanker,
Probably 9000 ton .

When he was well in range,
And all the tubes were set to go,
Then Bernard made all the ballast blow....

Glory, glory, he’s a sailor on a sub
Glory, glory, educated from the tub
Glory, glory, throw him off this u-boat, please
The worst sailor on the seven seas!

Herr kaleun got mad,
And said ” Bernard, let’s go below!,
Give her flank speed on the engines,
And a course to Scapa Flow”

But when scope was raised,
Expecting targets in the rows,
They saw igloos and some eskimoes.

Glory, glory, he’s a sailor on a sub
Glory, glory, educated from the tub
Glory, glory, throw him off this u-boat, please
The worst sailor on the seven seas!

The men aboard the sub,
Grew pretty angry on Bernard,
So they thought about a plan,
And caught im sleeping and off guard,

They rolled him in his blanket,
and they rubbed him with some lube,
Then they stuffed him in the forward tube.

Glory, glory, he’s a sailor on a sub
Glory, glory, educated from the tub
Glory, glory, throw him off this u-boat, please
The worst sailor on the seven seas!

Finally, the peace came,
in the year of -45,
And the crew was let ashore,
Well, pretty shaken, but alive,

And everyone remembered,
The excitement on their trip,
When their shipmate sunk a battleship!

Glory, glory, he’s a sailor on a sub
Glory, glory, educated from the tub
Glory, glory, throw him off this u-boat, please
The worst sailor on the seven seas!

Glory, glory, he’s a sailor on a sub
Glory, glory, educated from the tub
Glory, glory, throw him off this u-boat, please
The worst sailor on the seven seas!

THE END ( Sadly, no Bernards was killed or injured during the making of this song..)

(Please correct my english of something is wrong...)

Just read the complete verison. Terriffic!!!:up::up::up:

If this is going to be turned into a song, is should be just male vocal only. It would then sound like the sub crew made this up. It should be in both English and German, so you can have it ready for SHIV:yep:

Thanks again Seth:D

Some one needs to organise a get together at a pub somewhere with a bunch of sub simmers and record this when everyone is half plasted:()1:

It would make it more realistic!!:rock:

Here is the "Beta-version" of Bernard-Lied. (Recorded under the influence of a lot of beer...):()1:
Please excuse the english..
Had to cut a verse due to the backing song beeing to short...
Do not use this product commercially, even if i strongly doubt someone will..
I have tried to make it sound like a WWII-tune, regarding quality and sound. Please comment on this if you like....
