歌曲歌詞
Dance band on the titanic
Sing Nearer my God to the
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me
Mama stood crying at the dockside
Saying 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
cooking up the bandstand
And I was strumming in the middle
with this dude on the fiddle
And we were three days out from land
And now the foghorngs jammed and moaning
Hear it groaning 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 burning all the flares for candles
In the banquet they were throwing in first class
And we were blowing 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 saying
Boys just keep playing now we're
doing 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 tapping in a morse code frenzy
Tapping 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 strumming 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
