Текст (слова) песни: Harry Chapin - Dance Band on the Titanic



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
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
