God lift me up in mighty waters
Keep my eyes on things above
Rightteousness, divine atonement
Peace and everlasting love...
(::HARTLEY And TWO MAN ENSEMBLE::)
Ladies and gentlemen-
Everyone up and out
Follow the band and shout:
"Isn't this 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
(::1ST CLASS PASSENGERS::)
It's a musical treat
To hear a band with a beat
Performing their latest rag!
(::HARTLEY::)
How do you do, my friends?
So good to see you once more!
How long since we first met?
Has it been three days or four?
It seems like so much longer
Than a little weekend jag
(::HARTLEY And BAND::)
On the ship, by ourselves
On this glorious afternoon
Doing the lastest rag!
(::HARTLEY::)
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
(::HARTLEY And BAND::)
It that a 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
Moing to then rythm of
The latest rag!
(::ALL::)
Come on and
(::MEN And BAND::)
Dance with me please
Feel the rhythm
Of the song in your knees
Promenading along
At your ease
Like a feather in the air!
It that a
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...

Let your darker spirits climb!
Strolling with the orchestra beside you
Playing four-four time

And lend an ear to the band
