I'm an old timer[00:00:00]

I'm an excellent rhymer[00:00:02]

I'll send you a song of the sights I have seen[00:00:04]

It's late in December but well I remember[00:00:09]

The springtime of youth when the world was so green[00:00:13]

I was born a hundred thousand years ago[00:00:23]

There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know[00:00:26]

There's no place that I ain't been[00:00:29]

Round the world and back again[00:00:31]

And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so[00:00:32]

In the dawn of civilization I recall[00:00:36]

My cave had bearskin carpets[00:00:39]

Wall to wall[00:00:40]

We were quite the social group[00:00:42]

I was friends without you[00:00:44]

And a charming fellow named Neanderthal[00:00:45]

I knew Adam and Eve before they knew the score[00:00:49]

It was I designed the fig leaves that they wore[00:00:52]

And behind the bushes kneeling[00:00:55]

Saw the apple they was peeling[00:00:57]

And I swear that I'm the guy that ate the core[00:00:58]

I was born a hundred thousand years ago[00:01:02]

There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know[00:01:05]

There's no place that I ain't been[00:01:08]

Round the world and back again[00:01:10]

And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so[00:01:11]

Took a trip with Cleopatra down the Nile[00:01:15]

Yes we dated off and on for quite awhile[00:01:18]

And for King Tut and his kiddies[00:01:21]

I built all the pyramiddies[00:01:23]

And I represented Caesar at his trial[00:01:24]

Mr Nero was a personal friend of mine[00:01:28]

The way he played the fiddle was divine[00:01:31]

I went by invitation[00:01:34]

To a Roman celebration[00:01:36]

And ended up with ashes in my wine[00:01:37]

I was born a hundred thousand years ago[00:01:41]

There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know[00:01:44]

There's no place that I ain't been[00:01:47]

Round the world and back again[00:01:49]

And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so[00:01:50]

I'll tell you how America came to be[00:01:54]

I went sailing with Columbus cross the sea[00:01:57]

He got sick the day we landed[00:02:00]

And he went home empty-handed[00:02:02]

By rights the whole darn place belongs to me[00:02:04]

I know much more than any book can tell[00:02:07]

And you must admit[00:02:10]

I sing it rather well[00:02:11]

And the last part is the best[00:02:13]

If you'd like to hear the rest[00:02:15]

You can sing it for yourself or go to hell[00:02:16]

I was born a hundred thousand years ago[00:02:20]

There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know[00:02:23]

There's no place that I ain't been[00:02:26]

Round the world and back again[00:02:28]

And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so[00:02:29]

And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so[00:02:33]
