Oooooh, they built the ship Titanic
To sail the ocean blue
'Cuz they thought they had a ship that the water couldn't go through
But the Good Lord raised his hand
Said "THAT SHIP WILL NEVER LAND"
It was sad when the Great Ship went down.

(chorus)
Oh it was sad, so sad
It was sad,too bad
It was sad when the Great Ship went down to the bottom of the seeeeeaaaaaaaa
It was sad when the Great Ship went down.
(end of chorus)

They were near the English shore
When the water began to pour
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.

(repeat chorus)

So the moral of the story
As you can plainly see
Is to not boast about your infalibility
'Cuz the Good Lord raised his hand
Said that ship would never land
It was sad when the Great Ship went down

(repeat chorus)
