Dance Band on the Titanic (LP版) - Harry Chapin

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 load

 

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 SOS

 

Jesus Christ can walk on the water

Where 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
