Harry Chapin - Dance Band on the Titanic слова песни
Dance band on the TitanicSing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"The iceberg`s on the starboard bowWon`t you dance with meMama stood cryin` at the docksideSayin` "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 screwsIt turned the water into foamDestination sweet salvationGoodbye home sweet homeI`m in the dance band on the TitanicSing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"The iceberg`s on the starboard bowWon`t you dance with meThere was a trombone and a saxophoneThe bass and drums were cookin` up the bandstandAnd I was strummin` in the middle with this dude on the fiddleAnd we were three days out from landAnd now the foghorn`s jammed and moanin`Hear it groanin` through the misty nightI heard the lookout shout down "There`s icebergs around""But still everything`s all right"Oh, the dance band on the TitanicSing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"The iceberg`s on the starboard bowWon`t you dance with meThey were burnin` all the flares for candlesIn the banquet they were throwin` in first classAnd we were blowin` waltzes in the barroomWhen the universe went CRASH!"There`s no way that this could happen"I could hear the old captain curseHe 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 lifeboatsBut there were a lot of us left on boardI heard the drummer sayin` "Boys, just keep playin`""Now we`re doin` this gig for the Lord"I heard the dance band on the TitanicSing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"The iceberg`s on the starboard bowWon`t you dance with meThere`s a wild-eyed boy in the radio shackHe`s the last remaining guestHe was tappin` in a Morse code frenzyTappin` "Please God, S.O.S."Jesus Christ can walk on the waterBut a music man will drownThey say that Nero fiddled while Rome burned upWell, I was strummin` as the ship go downI`m in the dance band on the TitanicSing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"The iceberg`s on the starboard bowWon`t you dance with meDance band on the TitanicSing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"The iceberg`s on the starboard bowWon`t you dance with meDance band on the TitanicSing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"The iceberg`s on the starboard bowWon`t you dance with me
