What a Remarkable Age This Is! - Allan Corduner/Titanic Ensemble

Written by:Maury Yeston

My dear Mr. Latimer

Prepare to greet out clientele

Our meeting is imminent

Our having just rung the dinner bell

It won't be a novelty

We mostly have seen them all before

Prepare for the usual

You should be aware of what's in store

We've served them on the Baltic

And the oceanic

Olympic and majestic

And today's the same

There's nothing changed

Mr. Astor takes his toast dry

Mrs. Straus likes the grouse

With the sauce on the side

And the wideners love kidney pie

Bring it hot if it's not

They'll be fit to be tied

They're accustomed to the best

Of all that money buys

The world of free enterprise

Has given this privilege to the rich

When they're idle

They're entitled to the luxury

Which we provide

That's forever the source of out pride

Which is why we're always there

With our especial form of care

For every hungry millionaire

By now they've all arrived

We're sailing aboard the greatest ship

To ever sail the seas

The hull and the keel imperviously

Stronger by degrees

Magnificent crystal chandeliers

Parquet in all the floors

The ceiling is Jacobean

A decor the world adores

Remarkable ship

Oh what a ship

Remarkable keel

Oh what a keel

Remarkable steel

Oh what a ship

If it could be out in a phrase it's

What a remarkable age this is

A fellow's invented see through film

He calls it cellophane

Another has built a parachute

For jumping out of an airplane

Remarkable things flow endlessly

From out the human brain

Indeed

And what a remarkable age this is

Keep the captain's table pristine

Here we seat the elite whom we happily serve

Here they dine on fine french cuisine

It's the creme de la creme's

Exclusive preserve

It's the pleasure of the leisure class's greatest wits

To be where the captain sits

When taking their dinner on the sea

Giving deference to their preferences is our greatest art

We play a part

In a perfectly working machine

You should ever be aware

This is a privilege great and rare

A special burden that we bear

In our respective lives

Remarkable U.S. steel

Is splitting shares a five to four

Monopoly makes the industry

Far better than before

Attending the coronation of

King George the fifth was grand

And afterwards it's off to Monaco

To frolic in the sand

Remarkable talk

Oh what a talk

Remarkable times

Oh what a time

Remarkable world

Oh what a world

So much to surprise and amaze

And

What a remarkable time

What a remarkable world

What a remarkable age

The hull and the keel

Impervious

Magnificent crystal

Chandeliers

A fellow's invented see

Through film

And what a remarkable

Age

This

Is
