            The Lyrics
			
			
			All the Soviet targets were doomed 
They were demolished, don'cha know? 
All over Sevastopol (16 km-away-Oh) 
48 shots in a row, the fortifications all fell like dominos 
And then the huge Gustav cannon was sent back to Essen
Re-lined barrel, fired 300 shots 
4.73 ton projectiles, range- 29 miles (Far-away-Oh) 
The officials at Krupp could only smile 
German troops servicing the Giant sing: 
Right-on-right-on-right-on-target-on-target... 
Firing the 800mm Kanone
Meanwhile the Dora was on her way
Sent to Stalingrad to make war 
But she had to move (Far-away-Oh) 
As Soviet counterattacks grew closer 
Gustav and Dora then disappeared
The Soviet targets they could not get near 
Then something was weird (Taken-away-Oh) 
They dismantled the 800mm Kanone 
All the German engineers say: 
Way-oh-way-oh-way-overweight... 
Firing the 800mm Kanone
It had taken 1500 men 
Three weeks to assemble each cannon
Further more each cannon weighed 1500 tons
Under a Generalmajor (Underway-Oh) 
That’s an incredible 3 million lbs!!!
By May 1945, 
Both the guns had been chopped 
into pieces and scattered (No-Way-No) 
Found in Bavaria and the Leipzig area
All the German engineers with their plans 
Came up with a 520mm version 
The Lange Gustav (118 mile range-Oh) 
A Cross-Channel bombardment gun 
But that was never meant to be, sing: 
Way-no-way-no-way-no air protection... 
(They missed)
Firing the 800mm Kanone
Firing the 800mm Kanone
