Titanic Movie (other tracks) soundtrack – Hymn The Latest Rag lyrics

God lift me up in mighty waters
Keep my eyes on things above
Righteousness, divine atonement
Peace and everlasting love...

Ladies and gentleman -
Everyone up and out
Follow the band and shout:
"Isn't it a lovely day?" (Yes!)
Watching all the ladies in Parisian fashions
On display
Young Mister Hartley
Is playing quite smartly
In Rhythm that could never lag
It's a musical treat
to hear a band with a beat
Performing their latest rag!

How do you do, my friends?
So good to see you once more!
How long since we first met?
It's been three days or four?
It seems like so much longer
Than a little weekend jag
On the ship, by ourselves
On this glorious afternoon
Doing the latest rag!

I love the cool of the Breeze
Feel the rhythm of the song in your knees
Promenading along at your ease
Like a feather in the air
Is that the hint of a chill?
When you're dancing out of doors it's a thrill
Keeps you hardy and healthier still
Take a partner if you dare

Everyone is bursting with emotion
Dancing as we cross the mighty ocean
Moving to the rhythm of
The latest rag!

Dance with me please (Dance)
Feel the rhythm of the song in your knees (The latest ragtime)
Promenading along at your ease
Like a feather in the air! (Ragtime now!)
Is that a hint of a chill?
When you're dancing out of doors (Dance)
It's a thrill (The latest ragtime)
Keeps you hardy and healthier still (Ragtime)
Take a partner if you dare...

Out on the well-deck
Ship's personnel deck
Feel all the ocean spray

Get yourself upon
Port...

The upper hotel deck
Oh what a swell deck!
Great for your dejeuner
Turn the corner on
The port parallel deck
It's La Plus belle deck
All of the rest passe
Now the band is betting
This ragtime setting
Will take you away..

Everyone up and out!
Nobody lag about
Let your darker spirits climb!
Strolling with the orchestra beside you
Playing the four-four time
We've got a fellow
Who's better on cello
Than any other ship can brag
So take your girl by the hand
And lend an ear to the band
And do today's latest rag!

Come dancing!
Out on the well-deck
Oh what a swell deck!
Kick all your cares away
Turn the corner on
The port parallel deck
Great Demoiselle Deck!
Watch the girls sashay

How the ragtime music
The ragtime music
Can take you away!

How the ragtime music
The ragtime music
Can take you away!

Out on the well-deck (Dance with me please)
Ships personnel deck! (Feel the rhythm)
Feel all the ocean spray (of the song in your knees)
Upper Hotel Deck (Promenading along)
Oh what a swell deck! (At your ease)
Kick all your troubles away (Like a feather in the air!)
The port parallel deck (Is that a hint of a chill?)
It's La Plus belle deck (When you're dancing out of doors)
All of the rest passe (It's a thrill)
Great demoiselle deck (Keeps you hardy and)
watch all the girls (healthier still)
Sashay! (Take a partner if you dare...)

Everyone is bursting with emotion
Dancing as we cross the mighty ocean
Hasn't it been absolutely great to dance
The latest rag!
