DOLPHINS, SUBMARINES & SUBMARINERS
"Take her down"
Two versions
Down , Down Underneath the Ocean - 1956
Words and music by CAPT William J. Ruhe, USN and R. M. Wall

Take her down and softly glide,
Thru the deep blue underneath the ocean.
We'll control the ocean wide
From down, down underneath the sea.

Torpedoes crash and missiles roar,
that's the music underneath the ocean
From down below we'll up the score
Of the ships on the bottom of the sea.

Say some toasts and pass the word,
in the future yet to be
That we're safe as long as there's
a submariner underneath the sea.

So rig for dive and take her down
Go Down, Down Underneath the Ocean,
Fearless men will find renown
in the deep blue underneath the sea.


Take 'Er Down - 1943
Words by Irving Taylor Music by Vic Mizzy

Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down.
Underneath the foam is home to submarines.
Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down.
There'll be action soon is what that order means.
We can sweep the ocean clean if we keep trying.
When we take her home, our broom will be a flying
So Take 'Er Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down.

Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down.
Underneath the foam is home to submarines.
Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down.
There'll be action soon is what that order means.
When the target's dead ahead we've got to sock her,
Send them all the way to Davy Jones' locker.
So Take 'Er Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Take 'Er Down, Take 'Er Down.
