Bored at work, so I did a little creative writing
Oh where are you going to, all you Big Steamers
With supplies for England's war effort...food, ammo and guns
I'm loaded with plenty of torpedos, FaTs, LuTs, G7a's and G7e's.
I'll make sure I sink you, especially if you're over 10,000 tons!
And where will you fetch your supplies from, all you Big Steamers?
Where shall I find you while you're on your way?
I'll look for you in Grids AM24, BF13 and AN67
I'll sink you wherever I find you, from Halifax or Freetown, to the Bay of Biscay.
But if anything happened to all you Big Steamers
And suppose you were wrecked up and down the salt sea?
I'll hope it was I that put you there
With plenty of renown earned for me!
Then I'll pray for fine weather for all you Big Steamers
For fogless nights, sunny days and glassy seas.
When I sight you in my periscope,
It makes manual torpedo targeting really such a breeze
I'll look for Mid-Atlantic convoys of all you Big Steamers,
With air coverage lacking and destroyer escorts few
Since as jimbuna said:
"Stay Away from the English Channel!"
That's definately a rule most true.
There's not much I can do for all you Big Steamers,
Aside from send you to the ocean floor.
I'll watch out for big warships patrolling your big waters.
Since I have no deathwish, and want my crew to survive the war.
For I'm a U-boat Kaleun, sailing for the Kriegsmarine
We're fiercely fighting the Battle of the Atlantic.
And I'm on constant watch for you Big Steamers
Trying to rack up tonnage scores gigantic.
