The Lyrics

Oscar was an unknown German black cat that survived the sinking of the Bismarck in 1941. He was named Oscar by the crew of HMS Cossack that had recued him from the sea. That ship was sunk by German U-boat U-563 afterwards, but Oscar survived once more and was picked up only to be transferred to HMS Ark Royal- the aircraft carrier. This was then sunk by U-boat U-81 and Oscar was again pulled from the water. But after this, the British Admiralty had Oscar (now called Unsinkable Sam) transferred from Gibraltar to Belfast where the beloved cat was taken in as a sailor's pet. Oscar died in 1955 yet has an official portrait of himself hanging in the Naval Maritime Museum in Greenwitch!!!
Oscar the cat in WW2
one lucky feline

No ship sinking could kill you
Kriegsmarine wasn’t lyin’
RN wasn't lyin’

Admiralty couldn’t understand it
You sailin’ proud
Lost two ships to U-boats
Removed from the RN, placed on firm ground

Oscar the cat in WW2
one lucky feline
Survived 3 times

They saved you
They saved you
They saved you
Not once, but three times
Sailors beware
Oscar brought sea terror
A cat that really had 9 lives

Loved the sea
Oscar the cat in WW2
one lucky feline
(unlucky for Royal Navy)

Rob - Something I didn't know! Thanks. Good thing the cat was on the Bismarck rather than hanging out in the "Hood"! ;D
