Titanic: A New Musical
How Did They Build Titanic? / Fare-Thee-Well / There She Is
[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, spoken]
Barrett, stoker off the Baltic -
[FLEET, spoken]
Fleet, lookout off the Majestic -
[BRIDE, spoken]
Harold Bride, wireless operator with the Marconi Telegraph Company.
[BARRETT, FLEET & BRIDE]
There she is!
Tow'ring high
Broad and grand
Ship of dreams!
[BARRETT, FLEET, BRIDE, HARTELY, SAILOR, STOKER, & STEVEDORE]
Sailing Day!
Morning bright
Take your flight
Ship of dreams!...
[ALL CREWMEN]
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!
