Title:Dance Band On The Titanic
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
