๐ Lyrics
I'm an old-timer, I'm an excellent rhymer
I'll sing you a song of the sights I have seen
'Tis late in December, but well I remember
The springtime of youth, when the world was so green
I was born a hundred thousand years ago
There ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know
There's no place that I ain't been, 'round the world and back again
And I'll whoop the man who says it isn't so!
In the dawn of civilization, I recall
My cave had bearskin carpets, wall-to-wall
We were quite the social group; I was friends with Alley Oop
And a charming fellow named "Neanderthal", yes
I knew Adam and Eve before they knew the score
It was I who designed the fig leaves that they wore
And behind the bushes, kneelin', saw the apple they was peelin'
And I swear that I'm the chap who ate the core
I was born a hundred thousand years ago
There ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know
There's no place that I ain't been, 'round the world and back again
And I'll whoop the man who says it isn't so!
Took a trip with Cleopatra down the Nile
Yes, we dated off-and-on for quite a while
And for King Tut's little kitties, I built all the pyramides
And I represented Caesar at his trial
Mr. Nero was a personal friend of mine
The way he played the fiddle was divine
I went by invitation to a Roman celebration
And ended up with ashes in my wine
I was born a hundred thousand years ago
There ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know
There's no place that I ain't been, 'round the world and back again
And I'll whoop the man who says it isn't so!
I'll tell you how America came to be
I went sailing with Columbus 'cross the sea
He got sick the day we landed, and he went home empty-handed
By rights, the whole darn place belongs to me!
I know much more than any book can tell
And you must admit, I sing it rather well
But, the last part is the best, and if you'd like to hear the rest
You can sing it for yourself
Or, uh, for $3.98 you can buy and hold onto the whole album
I was born a hundred thousand years ago
There ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know
There's no place that I ain't been, 'round the world and back again
And I'll whoop the man who says it isn't so!
And I'll whoop the man who says it isn't so!
I didn't like this song in the first place
I didn't like the verse they gave me
Why is it that I always get the verses that sโ
Hey, hey!
