| | | Artist: | Chapin Harry |
| | Album: | Best Of Harry Chapin 3 | | Track: | Dance Band On The Titanic | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 164 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
