The Launching: How Did They Build Titanic? Lyrics

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 palace, floating...
Quiet as a lullaby

BARRETT
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...

BARRET & FLEET
Fare-thee-well, my darlin'

ALL THREE
...I'll be back before a fortnight has passed!

BARRETT
Barrett- stoker off the Baltic-

FLEET
Fleet- lookout off the Majestic-

BRIDE
Harold Bride- wireless operator with the Marconi
Telegraph Company
