(chorus)
it was sad
so sad
it was sad
too bad
it was sad that the great ship went down
to the bottom of the sea
(uncles and aunts, little children wet their pants/fishies and
turtles, old ladies lost their girdles/ma's and pa's,
teenagers lost their bras)
it was sad when the great ship went down
KER-PLUNK!
Oh they built the ship titanic,
to sail the ocean blue
and the people said
that the water would never get through
but the good lord raised his hand,
and that ship would never land
it was sad when the great ship went down
YEE-HAW!
(chorus)
they were not too far from england,
they were not too far from shore
when the rich refused to associate with the poor
so they sent them down below
where they'd be the first to go
it was sad when the great ship went down
YEE-HAW!
(chorus)
mrs. Astor turned around
just to see her husband drown
as the great titanic gave a gurgling sound
so she wrapped herself in mink
as that ship began to sink
it was sad when the great ship went down
YEE-HAW!
(chorus)
so they sent the lifeboats out
on that dark and stormy sea
as the band played on with
'nearer my God to thee'
little children wept and cried
as that ship went on it's side
it was sad when the great ship went down
YEE-HAW!
(chorus)
so the moral of the story,
as plain as you can see,
never trust a sailor
on the highest sea,
he may call you honey darlin'
and say his love is true
but when that ship goes down
he'll say 'the heck with you!'
(chorus)
ker-plunk
it sunk
better luck
next time
ginger-ale
in a pail
taste good
like it should
cha-cha-cha!
it was sad
so sad
it was sad
too bad
it was sad that the great ship went down
