1
On April 10th, 1912
2
A story began for which we must delve
3
Out of the port of South Hampton the liner did leave
4
On a cruise to Manhattan or so they believed
5
It was the largest boat that man ever built
6
Born from men who had breathed in the dust and the silt
7
A boat they told us couldn’t’ve been sunk
8
Whoever promised that must’ve been drunk
9
Oh Titanic how could you let us down?
10
Oh Titanic you’re lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found
11
Edward John Smith was the man in command
12
It was his vessel and it wasn’t on land
13
Murdoch at his side his crew was the best
14
Hand-picked for the cruise above all the rest
15
Harland & Wolff had built the ship strong
16
To sail for many years and last very long
17
But when it came to lifeboats they could have used more
18
Well they just couldn’t imagine what they’d be needed for
19
Oh Titanic how could you let us down?
20
Oh Titanic you’re lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found
21
A ship was cruising straight to New York
22
While the millionaires ate caviar from the tip of a fork
23
The immigrants huddled down in the hull
24
That big ‘ole boat was certainly full
25
Yes the White Star Line was known for its greed
26
Never tolerated stowaways or people in need
27
The dining room’s decked out in silver and gold
28
While the tramps in steerage shiverin’ in cold
29
Oh Titanic how could you let us down?
30
Oh Titanic you’re lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found
31
Up in the crow’s nest Fleet was perched
32
His duty was clear he just had to search
33
For an iceberg or anything, that was clear
34
But the only trouble was it was already too near
35
Well the iceberg tore into the side and caused a gash
36
While the people on deck were having a bash
37
The bowlegs did beck and the people screamed
38
The impossible had happened or so it had seemed
39
Oh Titanic how could you let us down?
40
Oh Titanic you’re lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found
41
So many people plunged right into the waters
42
Many husbands and wives and sons and daughters
43
There were lifeboats for some who were lucky or greedy
44
To die cold and alone was the fate for the needy
45
The mast rose high and then sunk down
46
Just to disappear without a sound
47
Well the Carpathia, she eventually arrived
48
But it was much too late so many already had died
49
Oh Titanic how could you let us down
50
Oh Titanic you’re lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found
51
[Harmonica Solo]
52
Oh Titanic how could you let us down
53
Oh Titanic you’re lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found
54
The director Cameron on the set of True Lies
55
As the scene played out he closed his eyes
56
A vision of his next film was becoming clear
57
A story of a shipwreck for all to hear
58
Soon DiCaprio was cast, and Winslet as well
59
Little did they know that the shoot would be hell
60
Oh Cameron pushed the limits of CGI
61
All the special effects really defied the eyes
62
Oh Titanic how could you let us down
63
Oh Titanic you’re lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found
64
When the film premiered it blew the roof off the place
65
All the executives watching there had smiles on their face
66
It went on to gross more than a movie ever had
67
For a flick about a shipwreck, man that ain’t bad
68
It was a lock for the Oscar; it just couldn’t lose
69
The Academy never even had to choose
70
And when Cameron took the prize his head must have swirled
71
Up at the podium he said, �I’m the king of the world!�
72
Oh Titanic how could you let us down
73
Oh Titanic you’re lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found
74
Then some years later when the timing was right
75
Cameron dusted off his treasure like we thought he might
76
No the story hadn’t changed, nor either the cast
77
But options for Cameron still were vast
78
�See the original had always seemed kind of flat to me�
79
So the master planned it to be seen in 3D
80
Oh Titanic how could you let us down
81
Oh Titanic you’re lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found
82
Oh waiting to be found
83
Oh Titanic how could you let us down?
