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
