   That night it all started when the ship began to shake
  We were filled with amazement, a little shocked but not afraid
  We didn't really understand what caused the water to come in
  We had been told this mighty ocean-liner "even god himself couldn't sink"
  
  You took a picture of our child, your hat and your jewelry
  And we put on some warm clothes because we thought it might be cold at sea
  When we left our cabin we noticed how the water started pouring in
  Was it a tear or maybe just a drop of water on your chin
  
  Titanic, Titanic, so proud and so free
  Will your grandeur protect us from the cold icy sea
  
  We followed some white arrows with a lifeboat-sign
  We had to go onto the first-class deck but no one seemed to mind
  Despite the strange situation we all took it quite with ease
  Only one of the third-class passengers was behaving foolishly
  
  We talked to a gentleman that we'd met earlier on
  He introduced us to his wife, he introduced us to his son
  Then the captain said that the lifeboats could not be lowered down
  I believe it was because some chains of the hoist could not be found
  
  Titanic, Titanic, so proud and so free
  Will your grandeur protect us from the cold icy sea
  
  We were all invited for a free drink at the bar
  We drank to the empire and to good health for us all
  The ship was leaning to one side, we felt it sinking quietly
  We decided to stay together on board, though many people jumped into the sea
  
  Then the rats left the ship to try and find dry land
  But we stayed close together and held each others hand
  It was midnight on the water, we could hear the ocean roar
  In the lifeboats that were lowered down, there was no room for us anymore
  
  Not a helping hand around in this cold cold night
  An iceberg disappearing into the distant morning light
  We're watching the last lifeboat as it slowly lowers down
  There's many men, women and children left behind, not a helping hand around
  
  Not a helping hand around, not a helping hand around
  There's many men, women and children left behind, not a helping hand around
  
  Now the members of the band struck up with "nearer my god to thee"
  Somehow banal but in the vain of our time and century
  By now we have lost our last tiny bit of hope
  We're all going down while the flag is going up
