Harry Chapin - Dance Band on the Titanic descargar videos gratis

"Danceband on the Titanic

signing nearer my God to thee

The Iceburgs 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 churned the water into foam

Destination- Sweet Salvation

Goodbye Home Sweet Home

Chorus-

I'm in teh danceband on the Titanic

Singing Nearer my God to thee

and the iceburgs on the starboard bow

Won't you dance with me?

There was a trombone and a saxophone,

The bass and drums were cooking on the bandstand

And I was standing in the middle with this dude on the fiddle

We were three days out from land

Now the foghorns jammed and moaning

Hear it groaning thru the misty night,

I heard the lookout shout down,"There's iceburgs around."

But still everything's all right.

Chorus

They were burning all the flares for candles

In the banquet they were throwing in first class

And we were blowing waltzes in the ballroom

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 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 were doing this

gig for the Lord."

Chorus

Theres a wild eye boy in the radio shack

He's the last remaining guest

He was tapping in a Morse Code frenzy

Tapping- "Please god, S.O.S.!"

Jesus Christ can walk on water, but a music man will drown

they say that Nero fiddled while Rome burned up

Well I'll be strumming as the ship goes down.

Chorus( leads to a fadeaway where it sounds like the band is going under

water)"
