December 19th                                  For over five months we've waited                                   Since the date moved from July                                   "December 19th" the posters stated                                   And I felt like I wanted to cry                                   The excitement keeps on growing                                   As the months and weeks go by                                   I'm waiting for the movie to be showing                                   But "December 19th" is all I can sigh                                   But soon it was October, November                                   And I re-watched every two-second clip                                   The 19th will be "A Night To Remember"                                   And I feel like I'm going to flip                                   We all know the shows greatest factor                                   That will make this the greatest show                                   He's our leading actor                                   Leonardo DiCaprio                                   But back to that special morning                                   I'll be hyper, it'll be cool                                   For I'll be seeing the movie                                   As soon as I get out of school                                   And on this special day                                   When Christmas break has begun                                   Everything will be okay                                   The movie will be lots of fun                                   So, order tickets from a theater                                   To avoid the crowds and panic                                   They'll need a thousand-seater                                    'cause we all want to see TITANIC!                                                 (December 1997)
