In 1922, the Palace Theatre in New York hosted a controversial, off-Broadway performance titled "Oh Help, We're Drowning." It was about the sinking of the Titanic. I'd like to sing the chorus number
im so seasick
And we're three thousand miles from Times Square.
I hate cafe au lait,
This whole ship is tres louse,
I'm Palace Vendome sick,
Fall asleep at the Folies bergere.
It's all a lot of chichi,
I burp when I sip Vichy.
Here's to Tin Pan alley,
A Yankee rally,
A show called "Sally",
And notwithstanding Rand McNally,
There's only one Broadway
On the map of the USA!
Let's tell the gang we're coming,
Back to old-fashioned kisses and modern plumbing;
I've got those "I'm so seasick" blues!
and now the really fast part in the song that no one gets the what shes saying cause its not 1922 anymore
We've sailed the sea too long
missing gals like sophie tucker,
when will this cruise end?
with that greeting, "goodbye suckers!".
Here's to Valentino,
The Park Casino,
The big Bambino,
Those cigarettes called Melachrino.
Give me that old mainstem
And a song by the great George M.
I feel my heart beat faster
Any place in the RMS mostly ship decks,
I've got those "I'm so seasick" blues"
