[Verse 1]
It was time to go
Tide was fast and pulled her great bulk away from the quay
And her own three engines and 55,000 horsepower could take over
A sixth of a mile long
Eleven stories high
She was the largest and most luxurious liner in the world

[Chorus]
White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner

[Verse 2]
After her trials, she left Belfast dock for Southampton
To her passengers, she seemed more like a huge floating hotel than a ship

[Chorus]
White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner

[Verse 3]
Then she set off for the open sea and New York
And as she sailed away, her builders had no doubt
That this was the start of a great career (start of a great career)
[Chorus]
White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner
