Oh Titanic you're lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found Verse: A ship was cruising straight to New York While the millionaires ate caviar from the tip of a fork The immigrants huddled down in the hull That big 'ole boat was certainly full Yes the White Star Line was known for its greed Never tolerated stowaways or people in need The dining room's decked out in silver and gold While the tramps in steerage shiverin' in cold Chorus: Oh Titanic how could you let us down? Oh Titanic you're lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found Verse: Up in the crow's nest Fleet was perched His duty was clear he just had to search For an iceberg or anything, that was clear But the only trouble was it was already too near Well the iceberg tore into the side and caused a gash While the people on deck were having a bash The bowlegs did beck and the people screamed The impossible had happened or so it had seemed Chorus: Oh Titanic how could you let us down? Oh Titanic you're lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found Verse: So many people plunged right into the waters Many husbands and wives and sons and daughters There were lifeboats for some who were lucky or greedy To die cold and alone was the fate for the needy The mast rose high and then sunk down Just to disappear without a sound Well the Carpathia, she eventually arrived But it was much too late so many already had died Chorus: Oh Titanic how could you let us down Oh Titanic you're lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found [Harmonica Solo] Oh Titanic how could you let us down Oh Titanic you're lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found Verse: The director Cameron on the set of True Lies As the scene played out he closed his eyes A vision of his next film was becoming clear A story of a shipwreck for all to hear Soon DiCaprio was cast, and Winslet as well Little did they know that the shoot would be hell Oh Cameron pushed the limits of CGI All the special effects really defied the eyes Chorus: Oh Titanic how could you let us down Oh Titanic you're lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found Verse: When the film premiered it blew the roof off the place All the executives watching there had smiles on their face It went on to gross more than a movie ever had For a flick about a shipwreck, man that ain't bad It was a lock for the Oscar; it just couldn't lose The Academy never even had to choose And when Cameron took the prize his head must have swirled Up at the podium he said, ''I'm the king of the world!'' Chorus: Oh Titanic how could you let us down Oh Titanic you're lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found Verse: Then some years later when the timing was right Cameron dusted off his treasure like we thought he might No the story hadn't changed, nor either the cast But options for Cameron still were vast ''See the original had always seemed kind of flat to me'' So the master planned it to be seen in 3D Chorus: Oh Titanic how could you let us down Oh Titanic you're lying on the bottom of the water just a-waiting to be found Oh waiting to be found Oh Titanic how could you let us down?
