| Dance band on the Titanic
|
| Sing «Nearer, my God, to Thee»
|
| The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
|
| Won’t you dance with me
|
| Mama stood cryin' at the dockside
|
| Sayin' «Please son, don’t take this trip»
|
| I said «Mama, sweet Mama, don’t you worry none»
|
| «Even God couldn’t sink this ship»
|
| Well, the whistle blew and they turned the screws
|
| It turned the water into foam
|
| Destination sweet salvation
|
| Goodbye home sweet home
|
| I’m in the dance band on the Titanic
|
| Sing «Nearer, my God, to Thee»
|
| The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
|
| Won’t you dance with me
|
| There was a trombone and a saxophone
|
| The bass and drums were cookin' up the bandstand
|
| And I was strummin' in the middle with this dude on the fiddle
|
| And we were three days out from land
|
| And now the foghorn’s jammed and moanin'
|
| Hear it groanin' through the misty night
|
| I heard the lookout shout down «There's icebergs around»
|
| «But still everything’s all right»
|
| Oh, the dance band on the Titanic
|
| Sing «Nearer, my God, to Thee»
|
| The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
|
| Won’t you dance with me
|
| They were burnin' all the flares for candles
|
| In the banquet they were throwin' in first class
|
| And we were blowin' waltzes in the barroom
|
| When the universe went CRASH!
|
| «There's no way that this could happen»
|
| I could hear the old captain curse
|
| He ordered lifeboats away, that’s when I heard the chaplain say
|
| «Women and children and chaplains first»
|
| Well, they soon used up all of the lifeboats
|
| But there were a lot of us left on board
|
| I heard the drummer sayin' «Boys, just keep playin'»
|
| «Now we’re doin' this gig for the Lord»
|
| I heard the dance band on the Titanic
|
| Sing «Nearer, my God, to Thee»
|
| The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
|
| Won’t you dance with me
|
| There’s a wild-eyed boy in the radio shack
|
| He’s the last remaining guest
|
| He was tappin' in a Morse code frenzy
|
| Tappin' «Please God, S.O.S.»
|
| Jesus Christ can walk on the water
|
| But a music man will drown
|
| They say that Nero fiddled while Rome burned up
|
| Well, I was strummin' as the ship go down
|
| I’m in the dance band on the Titanic
|
| Sing «Nearer, my God, to Thee»
|
| The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
|
| Won’t you dance with me
|
| Dance band on the Titanic
|
| Sing «Nearer, my God, to Thee»
|
| The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
|
| Won’t you dance with me
|
| Dance band on the Titanic
|
| Sing «Nearer, my God, to Thee»
|
| The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
|
| Won’t you dance with me |
