Subject: Tune Req: Rearranging Deck Chairs From: GUEST,Rick Pollay (aka Saul T. Dawg) Date: 15 Apr 23 - 02:58 PM Anyone got the tune for this Titanic song by Holly Tannen? REARRANGING DECK CHAIRS The crew are winching lifeboats down into the freezing sea. The band is on the boatdeck playing Nearer My God To Thee I am an able seaman charged with maintenance and repairs, The bos'n says, “Go up on deck and rearrange the chairs.” He thinks they’ve fallen over so I have to go and check And bring a bucket and a mop so I can swab the deck. The ship is slowly sinking while the boilers team and smoke, I gaze around and wonder if there isn’t something broke. A thousand squealing Norway rats are diving off the side But I’m not going to follow them, a worker has his pride. The jewel-bedazzled heiresses and self-made millionaires Are crowding into lifeboats as I rearrange the chairs. They’ve locked the doors to steerage so the poor folks can’t get out “There isn’t room for all of you,” I heard the Captain shout. The Irish and Italian are all kneeling, saying prayers While up here on the quarterdeck I’m rearranging chairs. |
