Colonel John Jacob Astor
And Mrs. Astor, too
Arriving now from the boat train
Direct from Waterloo station
May proceed to their parlour suite
A-62!
[ALICE]
Her name is Madeleine
She's John Jacob Astor's second wife
She's only nineteen years old
And now she's married to a prominent man
Worth over a hundred and fifty million
And twenty-nine years her senior!
They've only been married seven months
She's already seven months pregnant
And the scandal was such
They ran away to Europe
To avoid the publicity!
Avoid the publicity!
[PITMAN]
Mr. and Mrs. Isidor Straus may proceed to Parlour Suite B-55!
[ALICE]
Aren't they modest?
You'd never think by looking at them
That he and his brother own Macy's Department store
Own Macy's Department store
Outright!
And he was very close advisor
To President Grover Cleveland
And served in the House of Representatives
Two full terms!
And that's his wife of forty years, named Ida.
Sad! She hasn't been well
So the two of them have been wintering
On the French Riviera
French Riviera!
[PITMAN]
Mr. Benjamin Guggenheim and party will find his customary
suite on "A" deck!
[ALICE]
Made his money by smelting gold
Spends it like water
Forty-five hundred dollars for
The Louis Quatorze suite
So he can live in luxurious sin
With his latest mistress!
And they call that justice
They call that justice!
[PITMAN]
Mr. and Mrs. George Widener may proceed to Promenade Suite b-51!

Mrs. Charlotte Drake Cardoza, Suite B-54!
[BEANE]
No one really knows who she is
But the newspaper says she booked
The most expensive suite on the ship
And travels with fourteen steamer trunks
A medicine chest
Her personal pillows and sheets
And four little Pekinese dogs
So she must be somebody!
She must be somebody!
[PITMAN]
Last call for boarding!
This is the very last call for boarding!
[ALL]
Lift up the ramp
Let go the lines
Raise up her colours and designs
Prepare for casting off
And through the port we'll slip!
Each person standing at the rail
Let one great thought prevail
One single prayer
God bless this noble ship!
[PITMAN]
All ashore who are going ashore!
All ashore who are going ashore!
[ALL]
Farewell, farewell
Godspeed, Titanic
From your berth glide free!
As you plough the deep
In your arms I'll keep
Safely west
May you carry me.
Sail on, sail on
Grest ship, Titanic
Cross the open sea
Pray the journey's sound
Till your port be found
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee
Fotune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee!
