[Chorus]
Dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer My God to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?
[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
Well, the whistle blew and they turned the screws
It turned the water into foam
Destination—sweet salvation
Goodbye home sweet home
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 3]
There was a trombone and a saxophone
The bass and drums were cooking on the bandstand
And I was strumming in the middle with this dude on the fiddle
And we were three days out from land
Dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer My God to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?
[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
Well, the whistle blew and they turned the screws
It turned the water into foam
Destination—sweet salvation
Goodbye home sweet home
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 3]
There was a trombone and a saxophone
The bass and drums were cooking on the bandstand
And I was strumming in the middle with this dude on the fiddle
And we were three days out from land
