From Rabies the Regularly Bitten
Oh, they built the great Titanic to sail the ocean blue,
And they thought they had a ship that water’d never get through;
But on its maiden trip, well, an iceberg struck the ship,
It was sad when the great ship went down [blub blub blub]
Oh it was sad! [so sad]
It was sad, [too bad]
it was sad when the great ship went down, [to the bottom of the…]
husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when the great ship went down
They were not far from the shore, maybe a thousand miles or more
When the rich refused to associate with the poor,
They sent them down below, where they were the first to go,
The ship was full of sin and the sides were ‘bout to burst,
When the captain shouted, “Women and children first!”
The captain tried to wire, but the lines were all on fire,
They swung the lifeboats out o’er the dark and raging sea,
As the band struck up Nearer My God to Thee,
Little babies wept and cried, as the waves swept over side,
The captain stood on deck with a teardrop in his eye,
As the last boat left he waved them all goodbye,
But he knew he made a slip, so he went down with his ship,
The moral of the story, as you can plainly see
Is to wear a life preserver, and never go out to sea
‘Cause whether rich or poor, you’ll sink to the ocean floor!
