Titanic

 
Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue 
And they thought they had a ship that the water wouldn't go
through 
But the good Lord raised His hand, said the ship would never land
It was sad when the great ship went down

Chorus: 

Oh, it was sad, so sad 
It was sad when the great ship went down 
To the bottom of the sea 
(Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives) 
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Oh, they were not far from shore, when they heard a mighty roar 
And the rich refused to associate with the poor 
So they put them down below, where they'd be the first to go 
It was sad when the great ship went down.

It was the middle of the night when they hit the block of ice 
And they all decided that it wasn't very nice 
To be stuck on a boat that wouldn't even float
It was sad when the great ship went down

Mrs. Brown turned around just to see her husband drown 
As the great Titanic made a gurgling sound 
So she wraped herself in mink, just to see the great ship sink
It was sad when the great ship went down

They put the lifeboats out, on the wild and stormy sea, 
And the band struck up with Nearer My God to Thee 
Little children wept and cried, as the waves rolled o'er the side

It was sad when the great ship went down

The Captain stood on deck, with a teardrop in his eye 
As the last boat left, he waved them all goodbye 
He went down with the ship to the bottom of the sea 
It was sad when the great ship went down

Oh, the moral of this story, is very plain to see 
Always wear a life preserver, when you go off to sea 
For the good Lord raised his hand, said the ship would never land

It was sad when the great ship went down

Even more verses!

Oh, the Cal-i -forn-i -a not a dozen miles away 
Never heard the SOS cause the crew had hit the hay 
Poor husbands and wives, little children lost their lives 
It was sad when the great ship went down.

They built a sister ship which they named the Mary Lou
And the top half was pink and the bottom half was blue 
And they christened her with beer, and she sank right off the
pier
It was sad when the great ship went down

OR:

Oh, they built another ship called the SS '92
And they thought they had a ship that the water would not go
through
But the christened it with beer and it sank right off the pier
It was sad when the great ship went down

An alternate chorus:

Chorus:

It was sad, so sad,
It was sad when the great ship went down
To the bottom of the sea
(Husbands and wives little children lost their lives)
It was sad when the great ship went down, 
Below , KERPLUNK, it sunk, like junk
To the bottom of the sea CHUG CHUG CHUG!
