Rose's various and sundry laments throughout the movie Titanic, sung to the tune of "Hey Nineteen" by Steely Dan
Way back when
On board Titanic
I was the apple
Of society’s eye
Sexist fiancé
Controlling mother
Trousseaux and diamonds
Who the hell am I
No Jack no
No we got nothing in common
No we can’t talk at all
Please take me along when the iceberg hits
No Jack no
Don’t try to save me
I hate my boyfriend
I’m half alive
Hard times are on us
Edwardian women
Lace up the corsets
Dine first class at five
No Jack no
No we can’t dance in Steerage
No we can’t park the car
Please take me along when the iceberg hits
The sinking boat
The cold Atlantic
Make tonight a terrible trip
No we can’t float together
No we can’t both survive
- pam
Stumble it!
O how excellent indeed
