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

won´t you dance with me

dance band on the titanic
