1. THE TITANIC
By William and Versey Smith

It was on one Monday morning
Just about one o'clock
When that great ship Titanic
Began to reel and rock
People began to scream and cry
Saying Lord I'm a-gonna die
It was sad when that great ship went down.

It was sad, it was sad, it was sad
When that great ship went down
Husbands and wives
Little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down.

When that ship left England
It was making for the shore
The rich refused to associate
With the poor
So they put the poor below
They were the first to go
It was sad when that great ship went down.

It was sad, it was sad, it was sad
When that great ship went down
Husbands and wives
Little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down.

When they were a-building
They said what they would do
We will build a ship
That the water can't go through
But God with power in hand
Showed the world that it could not stand
It was sad when that great ship went down.

It was sad, it was sad, it was sad
When that great ship went down
Husbands and wives
Little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down.

The people on that ship
Were a long way from home
With friends all around
They didn't know that the time had come
Death came riding by
Fifteen hundred had to die
It was sad when that great ship went down.

It was sad, it was sad, it was sad
When that great ship went down
Husbands and wives
Little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down.

When Paul was sailing
His men all around
God told him
That not a man should drown
If you trust in me and obey
I will save you all the day
It was sad when that great ship went down.

It was sad, it was sad, it was sad
When that great ship went down
Husbands and wives
Little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down.

You know it must have been awful
With those people on the sea
It's said that they were singing
Nearer My God to Thee
While some were homeward bound
Fifteen hundred had to drown
It was sad when that great ship went down.

It was sad, it was sad, it was sad
When that great ship went down
Husbands and wives
Little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down.

2. MY HEART WILL GO ON
Music by James Horner

Lyrics by Will Jennings

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.

Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.

Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime,
And never let go till we're gone.
Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to.
In my life we'll always go on.

Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.

You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on.
We'll stay forever this way,
You are safe in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm does bind the restless wave,
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

O Savior, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walked upon the foaming deep,
And calm amid the rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

O Holy Spirit, who did brood
Upon the waters dark and rude,
And bid their angry tumult cease,
And give for wild confusion peace;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

O Trinity of love and pow'r,
Your children shiled in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, firs, and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. COME JOSEPHINE IN MY FLYING MACHINE
Come Josephine in my flying machine
And it's up she goes
Up she goes
Balance yourself like a bird on a beam
In the air she goes
There she goes
Up, up, a little bit higher
Oh, my, the moon is on fire
Come Josephine in my flying machine
Going up
All on
Good-bye.

Oh, say, let us fly girl
Where dear? To the sky girl
Oh you flying machine
Come please, please Josephine
Come Josephine in my flying machine
Going up
All on
Good-bye.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. NEARER MY GOD TO THEE
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to thee.
E'en though it be a cross,
That raiseth me
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to thee.

Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I'd be,
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to thee.

There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given
Angels to beckon me,
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to thee.

Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise
So by my woes to be,
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to thee.

Or if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to thee!

6. THE LOST SHIP
Richard D. Burnett, 1913
Titanic was the ship just on her maiden trip
To sail across the Atlantic Ocean wide;
It was a pleasure trip--millionaires aboard the ship,
But they never lived to reach the other side.

CHORUS:

Titanic was her name; sailing Atlantic was her fame;
She sank about five hundred miles from home;
Sixteen hundred were unsaved--went down in the angry waves;
Went down in the angry waves to rise no more.
It was a dreadful scene, like a sad and awful dream,
To see so many perish beneath the waves;
There were children, husbands and wives were pleading for their lives,
But they all went down beneath the angry waves.

It was a dark and moonless night, and there was not a gleam of light
To light them from the darkness o'er the sea;
It was a solemn sound, just as the ship went down,
To hear the band playing ''Nearer, My God, to Thee.''

Mrs. Isidora Strauss, the wife and husband lost;
They were to each other noble, true and brave--
As they sung that Evening Hymn, she preferred to die with him,
And they both went down beneath the angry waves.

There was an eager, watching crowd, who had gathered like a cloud,
To watch the ocean steamer as she came,
But the captain and the crew went down in the ocean blue,
And they never, never heard them call their names.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. After The Sinking of the Titanic
Seth Newton Mize, Jimmie Tarlton, 1930
When the moon rose in its glory
And it drifted to the golden west
It told a sad new story
Sixteen hundred had gone to rest.
Captain Smith surely must have been a-drinking
Not knowing that he was doing wrong
He tried to raise a record
And let the Titanic go down.

Well, the porter had retired and was sleeping
He was dreaming of some sad dream
He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
Way out on the bottom of the sea.

Mr. Smith, he says to the rich man
"Oh try and come to light
Try and save your baby
Also your little lovin' wife."

Mrs. Smith heard her husband was a-drownin'
Way out on the deep blue sea
She cried out, "Oh Lord, have mercy
Oh Lord, send him back to me!"

When the sad news reached the city
That the Titanic had gone down
Many widows and poor little orphans
Was walkin' all 'round the town.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. THE TITANIC
On the seventeenth day of April,
Nineteen hundred and twelve,
The ship by the name of Titanic
From Liverpool left, with the swells.

It was headed for New York City
With the cargoes of wealth and toll;
On the shores of Newfoundland Island
She sank in the waters so cold.

CHORUS:

As the mighty ship was sinking
ln the cold and icy sea,
The last that the band was heard to play
Was "Nearer, My God, to thee."

On board of the mighty vessel
Men with millions did ride;
The doctor, the lawyer, the merchant,
The rich, the poor, with their bride.

The gambler with all of his money;
The trimes went down the same;
The sheeler now died with the cunning;
The slayer now died with the slain.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. THE TITANTIC
Sailing out on the Titantic,
Some ninety miles from shore,
When suddenly it struck an iceberg,
And sank to rise no more.

CHORUS:

Lost on the great Titantic
Sinking to rise no more;
The number, sixteen hundred
That failed to reach the shore.

There were paupers, merchants, and rich men
Sailing out on this boat;
And when it sank in the ocean
You could see their bodies float.

The men stood back like heroes,
Sending their wives to the shore;
They kissed, shook hands, and parted,
To meet on earth no more.

The band was playing sadly,
"Nearer, My God, To Thee;"
It seemed to play its utmost
As it sank in the deep blue sea.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. THE TITANIC
As the moon rose in glory,
Drifting to the golden west,
She told her sad, sad story:
Sixteen hundred have gone to rest.

The watchman was lying down dreaming,
Yes, dreaming a sad, sad dream;
He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
Far out on the deep blue sea.

He woke and called the rich man,
Told him to come to life;
Told him to save his baby
And also his darling wife.

The rich man, he must have been drinking.
Knowing that he had done wrong,
He tried to win the record
And let the Titanic go down.

When they spied the Titanic was sinking
They fell down upon their knees
And cried, "Oh, Lord, have mercy!
And what will become of me?"

The band was out there playing,
Yes, playing out on the sea.
When they spied the Titanic was sinking
Played "Nearer, My God, to Thee."

When the sad news reached the landing
That the Titanic had gone down.
Many a poor widow and orphan
Was walking all over the town.

The little children were crying
"Oh, Mama has gone to stay."
But surely they will invent something
That will weigh the Titanic some day.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. THE TITANIC
by Lesley Riddle
CHORUS:

Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?
Well, husbands and wives
And their children lost their lives.
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?

When they was buildin' the ship,
They said what they could do,
They would build a ship
That water couldn't break through.
God with the power in His hand
Showed the world it could not stand.
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?

Well, the ship had just left England
It was makin' for the shore,
Rich had declared they wouldn't
Ride with the poor.
They put the poor below,
They were the first ones had to go.
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?

You know, it was then awful,
With those people on the sea.
Said they were singin'
"Nearer, my God, to Thee."
They were homeward bound,
Fifteen hundred had to drown.
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. DE TITANIC
By Bessie Zaban, C.H. Currie, and Carl Sandburg
De rich folks 'cided to take a trip
On de fines' ship dat was ever built.
De cap'n presuaded dese peoples to think
Dis Titanic too safe to sink.

CHORUS:

Out on dat ocean,
De great wide ocean,
De Titanic, out on de ocean,
Sinkin' down!

De ship lef' de harbor at a rapid speed,
'Twuz carryin' everythin' dat de peeples need.
She sailed six-hundred miles away,
Met an icebug in her way.

De ship lef' de harbor, 'twuz runnin' fas'.
'Twuz her fus' trip an' her las',
Way out on dat ocean wide
An icebug ripped her in de side.

Up come Bill from de bottom flo'
Said de water wuz runnin' in de boiler do'.
Go back, Bill, an' shut yo' mouth,
Got forty-eight pumps to keep de water out!

Jus' about den de cap'n looked aroun',
He seed de Titanic wuz a-sinkin' down.
He give orders to de mens aroun':
"Get yo' life-boats an' let 'em down!"

De mens standin' roun' like heroes brave,
Nothin' but de wimin an' de chilluns to save;
De wimin an' de chillun a-wipin' dere eyes,
Kissin' dere husbands an' friends good-bye.

On de fifteenth day of May nineteen-twelve,
De ship wrecked by an icebug out in de ocean dwell.
De people wuz thinkin' o' Jesus o' Nazaree,
While de band played "Nearer My God to Thee!"

It was on the fifth of May
When the great Titanic went down.
Po Shine was on the bottom of the deck.
The captain and his mate was havin a little chat.
Po Shine ran up to the top of the deck,
Say, "Captain, captain, the water is now
Coming in the boiler room door."
He say, "Go back, Po Shine, and pump the water back;
We got one hundred and fifty-two pumps to keep the water back."
Po Shine dashed his black ass overboard and began to swim.
The captain say, "Come back, Po Shine, and save po me.
I'll make you just as rich as any son-of-a-bitch can be."
Po Shine looked back over his shoulder and said,
"What good is money to me, in the middle of the sea?"
Went right ahead.
Just then a millionaire girl walked from the bottom of the deck.
She say, "Come back, Po Shine, and save po me.
I might turn your wife, it's true."
He looked back over his shoulder and said,
"Honey, you're purty-lookin jelly roll, it's true,"
He said, "There are a thousand
In New York as good as you."
He swim right ahead.
Just then a whale, he jumped up and grinned.
Po Shine looked back
Over his shoulder again at him--
Jumped up and walked the water
Like Christ did in Galilee.

When the Titanic went down,
Po Shine was down in Harlem,
Almost damn drunk.
The Devil was laying across his bed.
He got up and walked to the door
And looked out and he said,
"They been a long time comin,
But they welcome to Hell."

It was 1849 when the great Titanic went down;
Say the fifth of May was a hell of a day,
When the great Titanic sailed away.
It was hell, hell, it was some fucked-up times
When that Titanic hit that iceberg and began to go down.
Came up from down below old Shine,
Came up on the deck and said,
''Captain, Captain, water is coming in through the boiler room do'."
Captain said, ''Now Shine, oh, Shine, go back and pack your sack,
'Cause I got forty-nine electric pumps to keep that water back.''
Shine said, "That may be true because you carrying a load.''
Says, "I'm gon' take my chances in jumping overboard.''
Captain say, "Now, Shine, oh, Shine, don't be no fool and don't be no clown."
Say, ''Anybody go overboard is bound to drown.''
Shine say, "You may have them pumps, and they better work fast,''
Say, "'cause I'm going overboard when that water reach my ass.''
Say now the Captain's daughter came up on the deck.
She had her hands in her cock and her tits 'round her neck.
And say she say, ''Now, Shine, oh, Shine, save poor me.''
Say, "I'll give you more pussy than one Shine can see.''
Shine say, "Now, you may have good pussy and that might be true,"
Say, "But women on land got good pussy too.''
So she say, "Now, Shine. oh, Shine, if you don't save poor me,''
Say, "I'll cut it out and throw it to the sea.''
Shine say, "Before I let that matter pass,
I'll cut my dick off to the crack of my ass;
I'll make my dick into an oar
And paddle that pussy back to shore.''
All the millionaires looked around at Shine, say, ''Now, Shine, oh, Shine, save poor me'';
Say, "We'll make you wealthier than one Shine can be.''
Shine say, ''You hate my color and you hate my race'';
Say, ''Jump overboard and give those sharks a chase.''
Now women began to scream, and babies began to cry,
And everybody on board realized they had to die.
But Shine could swim and Shine could float,
And Shine could throw his ass like a motorboat.
Say Shine hit the water with a hell of a splash,
And everybody wondered if that Black sonovabitch could last.
Say the Devil looked up from hell and grinned,
Say, ''He's a black, swimming motherfucker. I think he's gon' come on in."
Say Shine looked over to his side and got a hell of a surprise,
A forty-foot whale was swimming by his side.
Say, but Shine shook his head and wiggled his tail,
And did the deep-sea shuffle and fucked that whale.
Say, now, when Shine hit the nearest seaport town,
The word had gone around that the great Titanic had gone down.
Say, but Shine walked up to the nearest bar and kicked down a do',
Women lined all up against the wall and punks laying all out on the flo'.
Shine said, ''Houseman, Houseman, fix me a toddy'';
Say, "I'm gon' get high and fuck everybody.''
Shine began to drink and he began to drink fast,
And Shine end up not getting nah piece o' ass.
It wasn't women that killed poor Shine, and it wasn't whiskey that took his breath;
Say a little green fly flew up Shine's ass and tickled Shine to death.

Say the twelfth of May was one hell of a day.
When the news got around the seaport town
That the great Titanic had settled down.
Step the Black man below the ship
They called Shine; hollered
"Captain, Captain, don't you know,
Why there's forty feet o' water on the boiler room flo'!''
The Captain say, ''Git back, you dirty Black!
We got twenty-five pumps to keep this water back.''
So Shine came on board, jumped over, waved his Black ass and begin to swim,
With a thousand millionaires lookin' at him.
So the Captain's wife stepped on board.
Say, ''Shine, Shine, please save poor me,
I give you all the pussy you can see."'
Shine said, "I got pussy on land, I got pussy on sea,
l got twenty-five motherfuckers in New York just waitin' on me.''
So the Captain's daughter stepped on board,
She say, ''Shine, Shine, please save poor me;
I'll name this kid after thee.''
Shine say, ''Bitch, you went and got knocked up, that's fine,
But you got to hit this water just like old Shine.''
So the Captain stepped aboard,
He say, (pompous voice) ''Shine, Shine, please save poor me,
I'll make you richer than any Shine could be.''
Shine say, "To make me rich would be very fine,
But first I have to save this black ass o' mine.''
Shine say, "Sharks, look out, I know some o' this black ass you'd like to taste,
But from here to New York's gon' be one hell o' a race.''
So the news got around the seaport town,
That the Titanic had sank down.
Shine was in Harlem on Thirty-Fifth Street
Damn near drunk, fucked his twenty-five bitches,
And his dick got sore; went to the doctor.
The doctor say, "Shine, I gon' have to cut your dick off.''
Shine say, ''lf you cut it off, you better cut it down to the motherfuckin' bone,
'Cause if you leave any kind o' meat. I'm gon' fuck right on.''
He say, "If I should die, soak my balls in alcohol;
And lay my dick on my chest,
Then tell all them cocksuckin' whores
Old Shine's gone to rest.''
Shine died--went to hell.
The Devil said, "All you bitches, you better clamb (climb) the motherfuckin' wall,
'Cause Shine gon' come back down here and fuck us all!"

16. THE TITANIC
Huddie Ledbetter
It was midnight on the sea,
Band playin' "Nearer My God to Thee"
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"
Titanic when it got its load,
Captail hollered, "All aboard,"
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well."

Jack Johnson want to get on board,
Captain said, "I ain't hauling no coal,"
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"
Titanic was comin 'round the curve,
When she ran in to a big iceberg,
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well."

Titanic was sinkin' down,
Had lifeboats all around
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"
Had them lifeboats all around,
Savin the women and children, lettin' men go down,
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well."

Jack Johnson heard the mighty shock
Mighta seen him doin' the Eagle Rock
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"
When the women and children got to land,
Crying "Lord have mercy on my man,"
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well."

17. DANCE BAND ON THE TITANIC
Harry Chapin
Dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me.

Mama stood cryin' at the dockside
Sayin' "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 turned the water into foam
Destination sweet salvation
Goodbye home sweet home.

I'm in the dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me.

There was a trombone and a saxophone
The bass and drums were cookin' up the bandstand
And I was strummin' in the middle with this dude on the fiddle
And we were three days out from land.

And now the foghorn's jammed and moanin'
Hear it groanin' through the misty night
I heard the lookout shout down "There's icebergs around"
"But still everything's all right."

Oh, the dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me.

They were burnin' all the flares for candles
In the banquet they were throwin' in first class
And we were blowin' waltzes in the barroom
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's 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 sayin' "Boys, just keep playin'"
"Now we're doin' this gig for the Lord."

I heard the dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me.

There's a wild-eyed boy in the radio shack
He's the last remaining guest
He was tappin' in a Morse code frenzy
Tappin' "Please God, S.O.S."

Jesus Christ can walk on the water
But a music man will drown
They say that Nero fiddled while Rome burned up
Well, I was strummin' as the ship go down.

I'm in the dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me.

Dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me.

Dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me.

18. DOWN WITH THE OLD CANOE
Dorsey Dixon
It was 25 years ago when the wings of death came low
And spread out on the ocean far and wide.
A great ship sailed away with her passengers so gay
To never, never reach the other side.

CHORUS:

Sailing out to winter pain, the Titanic was her name,
When she had sailed 500 miles from shore
Many passengers and her crew went down with that old canoe;
They all went down to never rise no more.

This great ship was built by man, that is why she could not stand;
"She could not sink" was the cry from one and all.
But an iceberg ripped her side and it cut down all her pride;
They found the hand of God was in it all.

Your Titanic sails today, on life's sea you're far away,
But Jesus Christ can take you safely through.
Just obey his great command, over there you'll safely land,
You'll never go down with that old canoe.

When you think that you are wise, then you need not be surprised
That the hand of God should stop you on life's sea.
If you go on in your sin, you will find out in the end
That you are just as foolish as can be.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. IN EVERY AGE
In every age, mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible…

On great desert sands, from mountains of stone
A Pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A Wall of light
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy!
One man's ecstasy...
Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, the Parthenon, the duomo
The aqueducts of Rome…

We did not attempt to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid...
Nor gothic walls that radiate light...
Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!
Floating city!

A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And Fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...
At once a dream
And the perfection of physical engineering...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20. HOW DID THEY BUILD TITANIC?

How did they build Titanic?
Near a thousand feet in length.
Huge beyond past endeavor
Strong beyond mortal strength
Forty-six thousand tons of steel
Eleven stories high!
She's a great floating palace, Floating...
Quiet as a lullaby.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21. There She Is

Fare-thee-well my darlin'
I'll be back before a fortnight has passed...

Fare-thee-well my darlin'
I'll be back before a fortnight has passed...
Fare-thee-well, my darlin'
I'll be back before a fortnight has passed!

Barrett - stoker off the Baltic-
Fleet -lookout off the Majestic-
Harold Bride - wireless operator with
the Marconi Telegraph Company.

There she is...
Towering high...
Broad and grand...
Ship of dreams!

Sailing Day!
Morning Bright!
Take your flight!
Ship of dreams!
She strains at her lines,
The smoke from her funnels trailing.
Her prow like a knife,
She'll cut through the waves unfailing.

Soon to be
Underway,
Size and speed unexplored…
And I'll be aboard
That ship of dreams!

Soon to be underway…
Size and speed unexplored...

Morning Mr. Widgery
Hello Mr. Oliver
Morning Mr. Hartley
Hello Mr. Joughin
Cheers! Mr. Weikman

And I'll be aboard that ship of dreams!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23. The Largest Moving Object

Captain Smith has there ever been
A finer morning to sail!
Never quite like this, Mr. Ismay!
Never quite like this, Sir!
Mr. Andrews, has the line ever had
A faster ship for the mail?
Not as fast as this, Mr. Ismay!
Never quite like this one, Sir!

The pride of mankind...
Dominion over the sea!
The Dream
The Dream of progress!
It brings great honor to me!
To be the master...
And the builder!
And the owner!
Of the largest moving object in the world!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24. I Must Get On That Ship

Third class passengers
Proceed at once to the gangway!
Please bring your boarding documents
And await further instruction!

Holy Mother of God!
Is that a ship or a mountain?
It looks long enough so a body could
Walk to America!
I'm Katherine McGowan, but
Everyone calls me Kate.
I'm Kate, too. Kate Mullins.
And I'm Kate, three! Kate Murphy!
It must be fate!
It's not fate. It's Irish.
You traveling alone?
Not me. I've got a feller.
See that good looking one up ahead?
I'm planning to marry him.
When that's gonna be?
Soon as I meet him.

Get me aboard
Call out my name
It's to America we aim
To find a better life.
We prayed to make this trip!
Let all our children's children know
That this day long ago
We dreamt of them
And came aboard this ship!
For the maiden voyage!
For the maiden voyage!
Get us all aboard!

Second class passengers
Proceed to C, D, and E decks!
Please contact the ship’s purser
To arrange dining assignments!

No account in the national press
Has quite done justice to this!
It's a sight for once in a lifetime!
Yes, a sight for once in a lifetime!
And the chance to marry now
We two daren't miss!
It's a chance for once in a lifetime!
Yes, a chance for once in a lifetime!

Can't wait to board that ship today,
Be with her when she pulls away
And takes her maiden sail,
I must get on that ship!
The largest grandest on the earth
And I've reserved a berth
To be aboard, now point me toward
That ship!

The finest people will attend.
The best among them we'll befriend
They'll stand right next to us,
Be at my fingertip...
Great heads of state and millionaires
Who run the world's affairs
Will all be there.
I must get on that ship!

For the maiden voyage!
For the maiden voyage!
Get us all aboard!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. The First Class Roster

Colonel John Jacob Astor
And Mrs. Astor, too.
Arriving now from that boat train
Direct from Waterloo station
May proceed to their parlor suite
A-62!

Her name is Madeline
She's John Jacob Astor's Second Wife,
She's only Nineteen-years-old
And now she's married to a prominent man
Worth over a hundred and fifty million
And twenty-nine years her senior!
They've only been married seven months
She's already seven months pregnant
And the scandal was such
They ran away to the Europe to avoid
The publicity!
Avoid the publicity!

Mr. and Mrs. Isador Straus may proceed to
the Parlor Suite - B-55!

Aren't they modest?
You'd never think by looking at them
That he and his brother own Macy's
Department Store...Outright!
And he was close advisor
to President Grover Cleveland
And served in the House of Representatives
Two Full terms!
And that's his wife of forty years, named Ida
Sad! She hasn't been well
So the two of them have been wintering
On the French Riviera
French Riviera!

Mr. Benjamin Guggenheim and party
will find his customary suite on
A Deck!

Made his money smelting gold
spends it like the water
Forty five hundred dollars for
The Louis Quatorze Suite!
So he can live in luxurious sin
With his latest mistress!
And they call that justice!
They call that justice?

Mr. and Mrs. George Widener may
proceed to Promenade Suite B-51!

He's the richest man in Philadelphia

Mr. and Mrs. John B Thayer
and family, Promenade Suite B-58!

Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad!

Mrs. Charlotte Drake Cardoza Suite B-54!

No one really knows who she is but
the newspaper says she's booked
The most expensive suite on the ship
And travels with fourteen steamer trunks
A medicine chest
Her personal pillows and sheets
And four little Pekinese dogs...
So she must be somebody...
She must be somebody!

Last call for boarding!
This is the very last call for boarding!

Lift up the ramp
Let go the lines
Raise up her colors and design!
Prepare for the casting off
And through the port we'll slip
Each person standing at the rail,
Let one great thought prevail,
One single prayer...
God bless this noble ship!

All ashore who are going ashore!
All ashore who are going ashore!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26. Godspeed Titanic

Farewell, farewell
Godspeed Titanic...
From your berth glide free!
As you plough the deep,
In your arms I'll keep.

Safely west
May you carry me.

Sail on, sail on
Great ship Titanic...
Cross the open sea
Pray the journey's sound
‘Til your port be found
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee...
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27. Boiler Room

Set your screws to 71--Mr. Barrett.

71? If you ask me, Mr. Bell,
It's a might soon for 71.

Captain's orders, Mr. Barrett--
If you've got no objections, that is!

It's his ship, isn't it? 71 it shall be!
But I speak plain, Mr. Bell, if it was
My ship I wouldn't recommend the
Speed be increased too quick.

Do as you're told, Mr. Barrett.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28. Barrett’s Song

She's sparkling clean, this newborn ship
But one old thing is clear
The orders they propose above
We execute down here...

We'll watch from here as up above
They'll catch a whiff of glory
This wonder ship may be brand new
But it's the same old story...

Stoke the fire down in the hold
As the men draw back...
Feed the heat in the hold
As the men draw back
And the dust of the coal in the air is black
And a trickle of sweat runs down your back...
And what are the boys from
Midlands doing here?

Coal it is that makes the steam
That runs the machines that run the world
That sends the men below the ground
To mine the coal
Each day...

From the Leicestershire and Nottingham
Us lads who worked down in the pit
Knew if you got above the ground
You'd save your soul
Some way...
Get out of the pit
And westward I knew that I could run
And ship out to sea and there my new life was begun...
And the screws are turning at seventy-one...

It became my dream to go out to sea...
Further out from the mine you couldn't be...
But, born to the coal, there's no place for you elsewhere
You trade a life of dank and gloom
To shovel in the boiler room
But now you're seven decks below
A lady's dainty feet...

And nothing has changed
There's nothing a miner can do
The pit and your mates
Turned into the hold and crew...
And the screws are turning at seventy-two...

Faster and faster we watch as we gain evermore
Seventy-three, and too soon it is seventy-four...
For a record speed I believe we strive!
For the maiden trip that's too hard to drive
If you push her faster than seventy-five.
That is the truth
I swear!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29. To Be A Captain

Thousands on board
Each in his class
You are the master of all that must pass
Yours to set course
Yours to command
You hold their souls
In the palm of your hand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30. Lady’s Maid

I will be a proper person
People will look up to me
What a girl that girl McGowan
Katie Violet Maud Marie
I aspire to heights of glory
In that new world, that can be!
In that grandest nation I'll stand tall
Reach my very highest hopes
Of all...

I want to be a lady's maid!
Lady's maid in America
In America the streets are paved with gold
I want to be a governess
Governess in America
In America it's better I'm told
I want to be a sewing girl
Sewing girl in America
In America I'll sew till I am old...

There's a place called Chicago

There's a place called Maryland
I've seen it on the map
There's a place in America
Called Albuquerque
And I'm hopin' it's a bit like Donegal
Oh, I'm hopin' that it is...
There I'm hopin' that it is...

Where my dreamin'
And my hopin' and my schemin'
And my prayin' and my wishin' to be happy
Will come true enough
And...

I want to be an engineer...
An engineer...
Oh, I will be grand...
In America the streets are paved with gold

I want a shop to call my own...

In America it's better I'm told
In America it's better I am told.

Oh far beyond the northern sea
A new life can unfold
And I'm planning that it will
How I'm planning that it will
Where my dreamin'
And my hopin' and my schemin'
And my prayin' and my wishin' to be happy
Will come true enough
And...

I want to be a millionaire!
Millionaire in America
Strike it rich and spend the fortune I amass...

I want to be a constable!
Constable in America
In America you rise above your class...

Oh, there's a place your industry and talent
Can be sold...
And I'm certain that it will...
There I'm certain that it will...
Ich will ein gutes leben haben...
Una Bella vita negli stati uniti...

Where my dreamin'
And my hopin' and my schemin'
And my prayin' and my wishin' to be happy
Will come true enough
And...I want to rise above myself...

Oh I will be grand
America, the streets
Are paved with gold...
America, the streets
Are paved with gold...
America the streets
Are paved with gold.

I want to be a lady's maid...
Millionaire...
Engineer...
In America!

Better place for me and you...
Better land to start anew...
Better land for the baby...
That I hold.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31. What a Remarkable Age This Is!

My dear Mr. Latimer!
Prepare to meet our clientele
Our meeting is imminent
Our having just run the dinner bell
It won't be a novelty
We mostly have seen them all before...
Prepare for the usual
You should be aware of what's in store...
We've served them on the Baltic
And the Oceanic
Olympic and Majestic
And today's the same
There's nothing changed...

Mr. Astor takes his toast dry
Mrs. Straus likes the grouse
With the sauce on the side
And the Wideners love kidney pie
Bring it hot, if it's not
They'll be fit to be tied
They're accustomed to the best
Of all that money buys
The world of free enterprise
Has given this privilege to the rich...
When they're idle
They're entitled to the luxury
Which we provide
That's forever the source of our pride...
Which is why we're always there
With our special form of care
For every hungry millionaire
By now they've all arrived...

We're sailing aboard the greatest ship
That ever sailed the seas
The hull and the keel imperviously
Stronger by degrees!
Magnificent crystal chandeliers
Parquet in all the floors
The ceiling is Jacobean
A decor the world adores
Oh what a ship!
Remarkable keel
Oh what a keel!
Remarkable steel!
Oh what a ship!
If it could be put in a phrase...it's
What a remarkable age this is!

A fellow's invented see-through film
He calls it cellophane
Another has built a parachute
For jumping out of an airplane!
Remarkable things flow endlessly
From out the human brain!
Indeed
And what a remarkable age this is!

Keep the Captain's table pristine
Where we seat the elite whom we happily serve
Here they dine on fine French cuisine
It's the Crème De La Crème’s
Exclusive preserve!
It's the pleasure of the leisure class's greatest wits
To be where the Captain sits
When taking their dinner on the sea.

Giving difference to their preferences
Is our chief art!
We play a part
In a perfectly working machine
You should ever be aware
This is a privilege great and rare
A special burden that we bear
In our respective lives!

Remarkable! U.S. Steel
Is splitting share at five to four!
Monopoly makes the industry
Far better than before!

Attending the coronation of King
George the Fifth was grand.

And afterwards off to Monaco
To frolic in the sand.

Remarkable talk
Oh what a talk!
Remarkable times
Oh what a time!
Remarkable world
Oh what a world!
So much to surprise and amaze...
And...

What a remarkable time
What a remarkable world
What a remarkable age...

The hull and the keel impervious
Magnificent crystal chandeliers
A fellow's invented see-through film
And what a remarkable age
This is!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32. The Radio Room

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Who's there?

Barrett! Barrett!

The stoker? I remember!
Welcome to the most important place in the
Whole ship! What can I do for you?

I heard you can actually send a
Message back to England.

You heard right--all right.
Sitting right here I can communicate
With important people all over the world.
I'd explain how it works but I'm...
Hold on--message coming in! An
Iceberg warning. It's from the Baltic.
That's your old ship!

Yeah!

As you can see I'm awfully busy
Barrett so what is it you want?

Shouldn't the Captain know about that iceberg then?

Not to worry, I've already sent him half dozen warnings just like it.
If you ask me--they don't know what the
Bloody hell they're doing up there!
Excuse my French.
It's like we say in the telegraphy business
You can't be in the telegraphy business and remain a Christian.

So how much would it cost to send
A message to my girl in England?
Sort of a romantic message?

Very pretty. But romance or not the
Minimum rakes two pounds four.

Two bloody quid!? That's twice what they
Pay me to America and back!

Hold on! Maybe I can give you a professional discount?

Oh yeah, how much would that cost?
Ah...nothing!
They'll never know the difference!

Ah…you must be sort of a romantic person yourself!

Not me. Romance and telegraphy don't mix.
How can you communicate with only one person
When you've got the entire world talking to you!
I'll need the name and address...

Darlene Watkins,
Nottingham, England

All right.

What's that you're doing?

Darlene Watkins--Nottingham,
England, sir--what's the rest of it?

I don't know...it's gotta be just the right thing.
Darlene's sort of funny you see.
She said if I wouldn't take it serious she knew somebody who would.
I'm not due back for another two weeks
So I might as well come straight out with it...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
33. The Proposal/The Night Was Alive

I'll be coming back to you, Darlene
Back to your dark eyes and hair
Marry me when I return, Darlene
And until that day, my love, take care.

Be thee well
May the Lord who watches all
Watch over thee
May God's heaven be your blanket
As you softly sleep
Marry me
When you're fin'ly in my arms
You'll plainly see
This devoted sailor's heart and soul
Are yours to keep!

Yours to keep.

Every day from G-M-O-M
"Good morning old man"
To G-N-O-M
"Good night old man"
My telegraph sends it's messages to
Ships at sea
Sending out its dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit...
Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit
Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit...

I was young and shy, detached and sad
Spent my days indoors, a home-bound lad
Hardly spoke, few friends
I kept myself to myself
Quite alone
Then I found Marconi's Telegraph
It could span the planet's width by half
Fifty yards, two thousand miles the same!
Touch the spark...sound the tone.

And the night was alive with a thousand voices
Fighting to be heard
And each and every one of them
Connected to me...

And my life came alive with a thousand voices
Tapping out each word
Like a thousand people
Joined in a single heartbeat
Tapping out our dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit
Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit
Dit dit-dah-dit dah
Everywhere...

Marry me
It's alive with a thousand voices
May the Lord who watches all watch over thee
And every one of them connected to me.

Marry me
So alive with a thousand voices
May God's heaven be your blanket as you sleep
Those people joined with a single heartbeat
Tapping out our dit-dah-dit-dah-dit.

Marry me...
Dit dit-dah-dit-dah-dit
Marry me...
Dit dit-dah-dit-dah-dit
Signed "Fred"
Everywhere!
Message received.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
34. Hymn/Doing the Latest Rag

God lift me up in mighty waters
Keep my eyes on things above
Righteousness, divine atonement
Peace and everlasting love...

Ladies and gentlemen--
Everyone up and out
Follow the band and shout:
"Isn't it a lovely day?" (Yes!)
Watching all the ladies in Parisian fashions
On display
Young Mister Hartley
Is playing quite smartly
In rhythm that could never lag
It's a musical treat
To hear a band with a beat
Performing their latest rag!

How do you do, my friends?
So good to see you once more!
How long since we first met?
It's been three days or four?
It seems like so much longer
Than a little weekend jag
On the ship, by ourselves
On this glorious afternoon
Doing the latest rag!

I love the cool of the Breeze
Feel the rhythm of the song in your knees
Promenading along at your ease
Like a feather in the air
Is that the hint of a chill?
When you're dancing out of doors it's a thrill
Keeps you hardy and healthier still
Take a partner if you dare.

Everyone is bursting with emotion
Dancing as we cross the mighty ocean
Moving to the rhythm of
The latest rag!

Dance with me please (Dance)
Feel the rhythm of the song in your knees (The latest ragtime)
Promenading along at your ease
Like a feather in the air! (Ragtime now!)
Is that a hint of a chill?
When you're dancing out of doors (Dance)
It's a thrill (The latest ragtime)
Keeps you hardy and healthier still (Ragtime)
Take a partner if you dare...

Out on the well-deck
Ship's personnel deck
Feel all the ocean spray.

Get yourself upon
Port...

The upper hotel deck
Oh what a swell deck!
Great for your dejeuner
Turn the corner on
The port parallel deck
It's La Plus belle deck
All of the rest passé
Now the band is betting
This ragtime setting
Will take you away…

Everyone up and out!
Nobody lag about
Let your darker spirits climb!
Strolling with the orchestra beside you
Playing the four-four time
We've got a fellow
Who's better on cello
Than any other ship can brag
So take your girl by the hand
And lend an ear to the band
And do today's latest rag!

Come dancing!
Out on the well-deck
Oh what a swell deck!
Kick all your cares away
Turn the corner on
The port parallel deck
Great Demoiselle Deck!
Watch the girls sashay.

How the ragtime music
The ragtime music
Can take you away!

How the ragtime music
The ragtime music
Can take you away!

Out on the well-deck (Dance with me please)
Ships personnel deck! (Feel the rhythm)
Feel all the ocean spray (of the song in your knees)
Upper Hotel Deck (Promenading along)
Oh what a swell deck! (At your ease)
Kick all your troubles away (Like a feather in the air!)
The port parallel deck (Is that a hint of a chill?)
It's La Plus belle deck (When you're dancing out of doors)
All of the rest passé (It's a thrill)
Great demoiselle deck (Keeps you hardy and)
Watch all the girls (healthier still)
Sashay! (Take a partner if you dare...)

Everyone is bursting with emotion
Dancing as we cross the mighty ocean
Hasn't it been absolutely great to dance
The latest rag!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
35. I Have Danced

I have danced with the first class Edgar
It was oh, such a dream come true!

That class isn't for our kind, Alice...

That won't do!
There are hotels on island Edgar!
Great resorts near a sandy beach...

That's a world that's beyond our income
And our reach...

Please don't tell me never
I'll want this forever...ever...
There's a new world around us, Edgar.

Won't you ever give up that view?

I want more than we've got now Edgar
Why don't you?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
36. No Moon

No moon
No wind
Nothing to spy things by
No wave
No swell
No line where sea meets sky
Stillness
Darkness
Can't see a thing says I
No reflection
Not a shadow
Not a glint of light
Meets the eye...

And we go sailing
Sailing
Ever westward on the sea
We go sailing
Sailing
Ever on go we...

It's a beautiful night, Mr. Straus
Even though there's no moon
Look at all the stars
Can you find the Big Dipper?
The Big Dipper? I can't even find our own
Stateroom. Every time I go out for a walk,
Finding my way back is an adventure.
Maybe you should break bread crumbs.

Can you feel how cold it's getting, Mrs. Straus?
All in the past couple of hours
Would you like me to get your fur stole?
What, and maybe never see you again?
No thank you, I'd rather freeze.

Are you cold then, Katie?
Not now that you've got your arm around me...
But I don't...
Oh, you're a funny one, Kate McGowan.
Funny? T'anks very much
Because you come right out with what you want.
And you find that funny do you think?
What kind of girl do you think I am?
You think I need to be told what I want?
Life's too short for that, me boyo.

The weather's quite changed, Mr. Lightoller
Yes sir, it's turned very cold
Only one point above freezing.
Ocean temperature’s down to thirty-one degrees, Captain.

Warn the carpenter to check our supply of
Fresh water, Mr. Murdoch--and tell the
Engine room to watch the stream winches.
Aye, Aye, Sir.
There's not much wind, is there?
No, sir. It appears to be a flat calm.

And we go sailing (See how calm it is)
Sailing (Smooth as polished glass)

Ever westward (Ah, the open sea)
On the sea.

We go sailing (Feel the bite in the air)
Sailing

Ever on (Ah, the open sea)
Go we... (Smooth as polished glass)

Charles, think!
In two days, America!
What's the first thing you're going to do
When we get there, darling?
After marrying me, of course!

Apply to the sports desk of an important
NY newspaper. I'm sure that they can
Use a journalist with my experience.
Oh, darling, you're sure to be a success!
Let us both hope so!
That's why we're going there...

Good evening, gentlemen.

Madame, this happens to be the Smoking Room!

So I see.

Woman are never permitted in the first class smoking room, Madame.

Don't look so shocked, gentlemen,
There's a new world out there.

There's a new world out where?

Mr. Hartley, that's a new melody--
What's it called?

Autumn.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
37. Autumn

Autumn
Shall we all meet in Autumn?
Golden and glowing by autumn
Shall we still be best of friends?
Best of friends...
All through the languorous season
We ebb and flow
Romance, defying all reason
Will come, then go.

Still, perhaps this Autumn
Love won't retreat in the Autumn
We'll be complete in the Autumn
All that we have won't be past
...Won't be past
Let breezes blow and turn cold
As we continue growing old
This Autumn
Love newly found may yet last.

So what do you say gentlemen?
I happen to play an excellent game of auction bridge.
May I join you?

Where's your sense of occasion madam?
I understand you've just lost your husband.

Yes. But not at cards.

Ahead we plow
Into the darkening night
Can't see the bow
How then to search
With only starlight?

No moon
No wind
Nothing to spy things
By
No wave
No swell
No line where sea
Meets sky.

(Autumn
Shall we all meet in
Autumn?
Golden and glowing by
Autumn
Shall we still be best of friends
Best of friends?
Best of friends...)

Stillness; darkness
Can't see a thing, says I
No reflection
Not a shadow
Not a glint of light
Meets the eye.

And we go sailing
Sailing
Ever westward
On the sea, we go.
Sailing
Sailing.

(See how calm it is
Smooth as polished glass
Ah, the open sea
Feel the bite in the air
Ah, the open sea
Smooth as polished glass.)

Ever on go we...

No moon
No wind...

The night was alive
With a thousand voices...

No moon
No wind
No moon
No wind.

(The night was alive
With a thousand voices...
Night was alive
With a thousand voices
The screws are
Turning
At eighty-one
The screws are
Turning
At eighty-one.)

No moon
No wind
No moon
No wind.

(The night
Was alive
With a
Thousand
Voices.)

(The screws were turning
At eighty-one
The screws
Were turning
At eighty-one.)

(At once a poem
And the perfection of physical engineering.)

No moon!
No wind!

Dear mother of God
Iceberg right ahead!

38. Dressed in Your Pajamas in the Grand Salon

Strange and quite disorienting being here...
Recently awakened from a dream...
How the lights burn,
Every crystal bright as a star!

Dressed in your pajamas in the grand salon,
Looks to be bizarre in the extreme...
Things could improve if the steward opens the bar!

Oh...it's a memory I'll want to keep...
Now...I would like to go
Back to sleep...

Dressed in your pajamas in the grand salon
Wondering if things are what they seem
Can you be sure? Do you ever
Know where you are?

Mr. Astor, please your lifebelt
Mr. Guggenheim, please put it on now...
Captain's orders
Ladies and gentlemen, wear your lifebelts!

Mrs. Widener, if you would, Ma'am
Mr. Thayer, we must insist now
It's a mere formality
There is no cause for concern.

We'll be on our way!
A minor delay now...
A simple precaution...
A moment of rest...
We'll be on our way!
We hardly need stay now...

In a moment or two she'll be right again
Traveling west!
See here Mr. Etches, I demand to know exactly what's happening!

The latest word, sir, seems to be that she's damaged one of the wing propellers
And we could be delayed for an entire day, sir.

I don't like the way this sounds...

Not a bit, not a bit, not a little bit...

We spent eighteen hundred pounds.

Not a bit, not a bit, not a little bit.

This is not the sort of a voyage we paid for!
I demand to know what the ship is delayed for!
Right now!

How could this ever have come to pass?

Christ! Look who's here!
It's the second class!

Everything is gorgeous in the grand salon!
Stunningly appointed for the cream
Thousands of bucks
Gets a trip deluxe without par!

Dressed in your pajamas
In the grand salon
Feels to be bizarre
In the extreme
How the lights burn
Every crystal bright
As a star.

Mr. Astor, please
Your lifebelt
Mr. Guggenheim, please
Put it on now
It's a mere formality
There is no cause for
Concern.

We'll be on
Our way!
A minor delay
Now!
A simple
Precaution!
A moment of
Rest!
We'll be on
Our
Way!
We hardly need stay now.

Strange and quite
Disorienting
Being here!
Recently awakened in a daze!
Every light is burning
With intensity!
Everything
Surrounded by a haze!
Strange and
Quite disorienting
Being here!
Recently
Awakened in a…

Mr. Guggenheim, please
Upstairs now...

Mrs. Widener, if you would
Ma'am...

It's a mere formality
There is no
Cause for concern.

Wondering if things
Are what
They seem...
Can you be sure?
Do you ever know
Where you
Are?

We'll be on our way!
A minor delay
Now!
A simple precaution!
A moment of rest!
We'll be on our way!
We hardly need stay now
Any minute now!
Any minute now
Any minute now!

Strange and quite
Disorienting
Being here!
Recently awakened in a
Daze!
Every light is
Burning
With intensity!
Everything
Surrounded by a haze!
Strange and
Quite disorienting
Being here!
Recently
Awakened in a daze
Any minute!

We'll be on our way!
We'll be on our way!
We'll be on our way!
Our way!
Our way!

39. The Upper Promenade

Captain!

Yes, Mr. Andrews.

I'm sure it hasn't escaped your notice, Sir
But there are in excess of 2200 souls aboard this ship...

I am well aware of that!

But space for less than a thousand in the lifeboats...

I didn't design this ship, Mr. Andrews!

And I didn't instruct the management on the number of boats.

Evidently 20 boats were enough to satisfy
The line! But how many would we need to
Save everyone on board?

54. But the line thought that anything more
Than 20 would take away too much deck
Space from first class. And that means that
Well over half of us are going to die
In approximately 90 minutes...

Not if a ship arrives!

Do you know of one?

I'm just on my way to find out!

Captain all first and second class passengers are
Proceeding to the boat decks as ordered!
The 3rd class have been assembled below
On the well deck awaiting further instructions.

Captain, I don't think the passengers and
Crew fully comprehend their predicament
Yet. You will have to tell them!

Tell them what Mr. Andrews?

That more than 1200 of them are going to be dead!

I think not sir! There would be general panic.
They would kill each other in order to survive.

Awaiting instructions Captain...

I want you and Mr. Murdoch up top in
Charge of loading the boats.

But the 3rd class passengers Sir. They are all down below...

That's not your concern, Mr. Lightoller.
Carry on!

Yes, Sir.

Are you taking it upon yourself to decide who lives and dies?
I remind you that while you are the Captain, you were not hired to play God!

Well then let it be God who decides!

Well it seems that God is already leaning toward the first class!
They are closest to the lifeboats!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
40. The Radio Room

CQD! CQD! Titanic! CQD! Situation
Critical! Repeat situation critical!

Radioman have you reached any…

Can't you see I'm busy!
Go bother the captain!

This is the Captain!

Sorry Sir!

Sit down Mr. …

Bride Sir. With the Marconi
International marine radio telegraphy...

Yes, yes! Sit down...

Sorry Sir!

And continue.. .

Yes sir!

Now have you reached any ships in
The immediate vicinity Mr. Bride?

6 or 7 sir! The closest seems to be
Carpathia--that's the Cunard line…

Yes I know Carpathia, Mr. Bride...

They acknowledged our CQD at 11:58 PM
Saying they turned and are coming hard...

How far is she?

58 miles...

That's more than four hours away!

Carpathia can't be the only ship in
The vicinity Mr. Bride!

There was one other sir…
The California. Her signal was
Much stronger than the others.
I put her within 10 miles but since the accident--she hasn't responded…

Why not?

I don't know sir...

EJ--You've got to do something!

What would you suggest Mr. Ismay?

We need another ship here immediately!

I'm afraid the nearest one to
Respond is four hours away.

Four hours! We'll be on the bottom by then!

What about the California, Mr. Bride?
You said that she might be close by...

I'm sure she is Sir. But still no response...

You must demand a response...

The smaller ships only carry one radio man Sir.
He must have signed off and gone to bed...

Well keep trying for God's sake!

There's a new distress call--SOS.
It's hardly ever been used but
It's easier to read than the CQD
And I thought perhaps if I tried...

Try anything you like Mr. Bride!
You must rouse that ship!

Yes Sir! Titanic--SOS.
Situation critical!
Come in California!
Where are you old man?
Why the hell don't you answer?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
41. The Blame

Surely something can be done to help us...

Thousands on board
Trusting and warm
Roused from their sleep
Sent up above
Unsinkable ship
What is she now?
What is she now?

Possibly she won't go down
Possibly she'll stay afloat
Possibly all this could come to an end
On a positive note...

Not unless the ship could fly
Not unless we all sprout wings!
Honestly sir, I have built her from scratch
And I know certain things!

If you know so much
Why didn't you know to prevent this!
What's to become of us all,
Now that providence sent this!
This is your work, Mr. Andrews!
You have done us in!
Where's her leak proof bulkheads?
Where's her double skin?
That's your job!
If someone must take the blame
It is you!
You!

Innocent folk
Held in our care
Living their lives
Dreaming their dreams
Dreaming their dreams...

Possibly a ship will come
Possibly we'll all be saved...

Dammit sir, listen!
We're hemorrhaging fast!
It's our hull that's been staved!

Couldn't you design it right?
Whoever heard of steel that rips?

Ismay, I'm just in the business of building
It's God who sinks ships!

There stands the Captain
Who sailed us straight into disaster!

Oh, now it's the Captain's turn!
Pray who urged him to go faster?
Well, then, thank you, Mr. Ismay
For your contribution!
Now please pray for some miraculous solution!
Your timing is perfect!
Now help us, please!
If you can!

Who called for speed and to break every record?
Who had to keep all the millionaires happy?

How dare you Smith!
I will not stand here indicted!
Who ignored warnings of icebergs when sighted?

Who, Sir, refused to extend up the bulkheads?

You sir! To give the first class bigger staterooms!

And who undermined the position of Captain?

And who took a course too far north for the Season?

And who kept insisting
We land ever sooner?

And who should have posted
More lookouts in darkness?

And who had to have
Both the largest and fastest?

Who did it?
Who did it?
Who did it?
Who did it?
Who did it?

Possibly the Lord will act...
Possibly he will provide...

And indicate how
Our unthinkable fate
Can be somehow denied
Somehow denied...

Your work
No one else's...

My doing
No one else's...

There's only one Captain
And I was in charge...
This is my ship
No one else's...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42. To The Lifeboats

You and I are getting in the lifeboat
Father will be staying here a while
It will be like rowing in the serpentine
Come along now, let us have a smile...

Go along with mother to the lifeboat...

John...

Don't even say it
I'll be fine
I'll collect you both tomorrow morning
You and this beloved son of mine.

I must get on that ship.

Madam, step this way into the lifeboat.

Mr. Straus, by all means take a place...

No. I will not go before the younger men
Go Ida--you must go now--

For what? To live without you?
Absolutely not!
Where you go I go!

You must get in
Please step this way...

Maddie dear, you must
Get in the lifeboat.

There is no time
Please don't delay.

Edgar, look I'm next to Mrs. Astor
This is the last to leave
It must be lowered now.

You must get in
Please step this way.

Eleanor you must
Get in the lifeboat
There is no time.

Caroline, come quick
Here is a lifeboat
This is the last to leave.

Little remaining,
Final lifeboat
It must be lowered now...

There's gotta be a place in that boat Kate--
Take it for God's sake!

I'm not going without you, Jim!
I don't want to be a widow before I'm a bride!

You're going to be a lady's maid!
Lady's maid in America!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
43. The Proposal/The Night Was Alive (Reprise)

Be thee well
May the Lord who
Watches all
Watch over thee
May God's heaven be
Your blanket
As you softly sleep.

It's alive with a thousand voices.
The night is alive with a thousand voices…

Hurry up now we must
Get in the lifeboat!
Hurry now we're
Running out of time!

My arms you'll plainly see
This devoted sailor's heart
And soul are yours to keep...
Yours to keep!

My work
No one else's…

Lower away!

Hurry now!
There isn't any time!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
44. We’ll Meet Tomorrow

We'll meet tomorrow
We will find a path
And reach tomorrow
Past this day of wrath
We'll be together once again
Cling to your hope and prayers ‘til then...

I'll hold thee closely
As I say good-bye
And keep your image
In my memory's eye
And all this love of ours will soar
Come dawn or danger
We'll meet tomorrow
And have each other evermore.

Give us tomorrow
And another hour
Let our reunion
Come within our power...
Grant one more chance
To make a start
That we may live for
As we part...

Come say you love me
As I kiss your eyes
Let one brief moment
Make eternal ties...

If tomorrow is not in store
Let this embracing
Replace forever
Keep us together
Evermore.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
45. Still

Still
The way I love you
Still
Lives in my heart
After all the years
We've been together
Holding our love
Still...

The way you move me
Still
Feels as it did
When you first became mine
Whispered the words
I will
I loved you then
And I love you
Still

No one else could play your role
Forever know my mind
True companion of my soul
I won't turn from
You I learn from.

Still...
Through fortune's changes
Still
Always we've known...
That the promise we made...
Kept us as one
And will!
I loved you then...
And I love you still!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
46. To Be A Captain (Reprise)

Thousands on board
Each in his class
You are the master of all that must pass
Yours to set course
Yours to command
You hold our souls
In the palm of your hand
You hold our souls
In the palm of your hand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
47. Mr. Andrews’ Vision

Just a cursory look at the blueprints here
Shows the weaknesses that we have missed
How the water poured in
A three-hundred foot gash
And caused the bow to flood and to list
And then it filled to the top
Our separate watertight compartments
And began to overflow...
Because the walls in between the compartments
Are too low!
She's only sinking because these
Bulkheads stop a deck too low.

But here's a thought! Take a line...
And extend up the walls to the brink…
It's just a small redesign...
But when it's done,
Then I know that she can't sink!
Like this!
Like this!
Like this!
And then like this!

Mr. Andrews!
Aren't you going to make a go for it?
Mr. Andrews!

The ship will start to plunge beneath the surface
The water lapping at our feet
Down sinks the bow, up flies the stern
To the sky...
The panicked people in retreat.

A thousand strong, they'll climb up
Toward the aft deck
They'll cling there desperately
Like bees to a hive!
There they'll hold fast
Doomed to the last
And all
Still alive.

A few of them will hang there
From the railings
As, one by one, they'll drop away!
More than two-hundred-fifty feet
They will fall
And after that, I cannot say
I will not say!

The rest in swarms will overrun the boat deck
They'll lose all sense of right and wrong
It will be "every man for himself" all right!
The weak thrown in with all the strong!

First class, and third, and second
Will mean nothing!
And sheer humanity alone will prevail
One single class
Brute, harsh, and crass
That's what will come of the world that set
Sail.

Autumn...
Shall we all meet in the Autumn?
Shall we all meet in the Autumn?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
48. Aboard The Carpathia

One moment the ship was there--the next she was gone.
There were over a thousand poor souls floundering in the freezing water...
We wanted to go back for them, of course, to pick them up...
But they would have swamped us...then no one could have survived...
The sound they made was deafening, like there was an
Entire football stadium out there in the dark...
And then after half an hour...
It just stopped...
I'm ashamed to say I was relieved...
I'll hear those voices for the rest of my life...
Why shouldn't I have taken a place in the lifeboat?
It would have gone empty...

There were more than four hundred and fifty empty seats in the lifeboats...
The women were so brave. Alone in the dark in the middle of the ocean...
If only I had seen that iceberg before it was too late…
If only they hadn't kept increasing the speed...
If only the Californian had heard my call. I stayed with the key 'til the end. They could have saved every

man, woman and child aboard...
We were only ninety-five miles from dry land...

When dawn came we could see the ice everywhere...
And it was all bathed in pink and hundreds of deck chairs floating in the water...
All of the poor women and children in third class who never made it to the boats...
All of the musicians who kept playing Autumn right to the very end...
With only seven hundred and eleven survivors-one thousand five hundred and seventeen souls lost their lives.

Including the man I called my husband...
And my husband...
And my husband...
And my husband...
And my husband...

And after only a few minutes the largest moving object on Earth had totally disappeared...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
49. In Every Age (Reprise/Finale)

Fare thee well
May the Lord who watches all
Watch over thee
May God's Heaven be your blanket
As you softly sleep...
Softly sleep...

In every age mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...

On desert sands, from mountains of stone
A pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light!
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy!
One man's ecstasy...
Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, the Parthenon, the Duomo
The aqueducts of Rome.

We did not attempt to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid
No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothic walls that radiate with light...

Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!
Floating city!

A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...
At once a poem
And the perfection of physical engineering...

Sail on, sail on
Great ship Titanic!
Cross the open sea
Pray the journey's sound
Till your port be found
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee...
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

50. HAVE YOU HEARD ANY WORD OF THE ICEBERG?
By Les Barker


On a cold rainy night on a Liverpool quayside
In the years before the Great War
The world was in shock at the loss of Titanic
So proud had they been days before.
Relatives gathered for news of their loved ones,
To read through the list of the dead,
When into the throng came a sad-eyed Polar Bear,
And to the clerk at the counter he said…


Chorus:


Have you got any news of the iceberg?
My family were on it you see,
Have you got any news of the iceberg?
They mean the whole world to me.


My wife and children were coming from Greenland
To be by my side in the zoo.
Belinda's my wife and the eldest's called Bernard, and Billy, well, he's only two.
I know on the ship there were hundreds of people,
And I know the iceberg's not yours,
The Polar Bear's eyes held the start of his teardrops
He covered his face with his paws.


It's been over a year since I last saw my children,
I left home to build my career:
I've worked very hard, I'm a star in the circus,
It's all been for nothing I fear.
There's my face on the poster,
We're in town this week.
My Children were meeting me here.


Everyone watched as he struggled to speak.
By now all the people had gathered beside him,
His grief was one they could share,
The people around him in silence and sadness,
Listened to the sad Polar Bear.
I wanted my children to see me performing,
And Belinda, she would have been proud.
At last, lost for words and his tears flowing freely,
The question was asked by the crowd.


Chorus:


Have you got any news of the iceberg?
My family were on it you see:
Have you got any news of the iceberg?
They mean the whole world to me.
