How Did They Build Titanic? / Fare-Thee-Well / There She Is by Titanic: A New Musical Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1997

[BARRETT]
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

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

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

[BARRETT & FLEET]
Fare-thee-well, my darlin'

[BARRETT, FLEET & BRIDE]
I'll be back before a fortnight has passed!
[BARRETT]
Barrett, stoker off the Baltic -

[FLEET]
Fleet, lookout off the Majestic -

[BRIDE]
Harold Bride, wireless operator with the Marconi Telegraph Company.

[BARRETT, FLEET & BRIDE]
There she is
Towering high
Broad and grand
Ship of dreams!

[BARRETT, FLEET, BRIDE & CREWMAN]
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!
