Song: Make the Titanic Great Again

Make the Titanic Great Again
Melody: "La Donna è Mobile" by Giuseppe Verdi

This song is based on the internet meme “If Donald Trump had captained the Titanic,” the earliest example of which that I can find was tweeted by Anita Alden Frandsen (ho_derre) on April 12. All the lyrics are ultimately based on things Donald Trump has said.

I collected actual statements by Trump similar to what he says in the song at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ya7d2uxhv7k6fcp/Make%20the%20Titanic%20Great%20Again.xlsx. Trump uttered many of the quotes I cite after the meme first appeared. This doesn't mean that somebody was psychic; it means that Trump tells the same lies over and over.

You can hear Luciano Pavarotti sing the melody at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCFEk6Y8TmM.

Enjoy. I will post a video eventually.

C        G
Make the Titanic
G               C
Great again, my mariners!
C           G
There is no iceberg.
   G7           C
We won’t hit an iceberg.

I knew about the iceberg
Before anybody else knew.
No one knows icebergs
Better than I do.

        D7          G
        I alone can fix it.
        E7                   Am
        Penguins brought the iceberg.
        G7               Am   G    G7          C  G7   C
	One penguin from Greenland brought the iceberg here.

              G         C 
        La-la-la, la-la-la!
             Dm          C  G   C
        Life jackets are so passé.
              G         C         G7        C
        La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
            Bdim          G7 C
        I'm throwing mine away.

We can’t let an iceberg
Stop the Titanic.
Watch it just melt away,
Maybe by April.

Fakers are spreading fake
News about icebergs.
Very fine icebergs,
To port and to starboard.

Some of you are drowning.
That's the way it is now.
I’m the greatest captain, ask anyone.

La-la-la, la-la-la!
Watch the losers and suckers die.
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Would I ever tell you a lie?
