I was born about ten thousand years ago[00:00:00]

There ain't nuthin' in this world[00:00:04]

That I don't know[00:00:06]

I saw Peter Paul and Moses playin'[00:00:07]

Ring around the roses[00:00:10]

And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so[00:00:11]

Well I'm just a lonesome traveler [00:00:15]

A great historical bum[00:00:17]

Highly educated through history I have come[00:00:19]

I built the Rock of Ages [00:00:22]

It was in the year oh one[00:00:24]

And that's about the biggest thing[00:00:26]

That Man has ever done[00:00:28]

I saw any look garden door[00:00:29]

I saw Adam and Eve driven from the door[00:00:33]

And from behind the bushes peepin'[00:00:37]

Saw the apple they was eatin'[00:00:38]

And I swear that I'm the one[00:00:40]

That et the core[00:00:42]

Garden of Eden [00:00:43]

Now I built the garden of Eden [00:00:45]

It was in the year oh two[00:00:47]

Joined the apple pickers union[00:00:48]

And I always paid my dues[00:00:50]

I'm the man that signed[00:00:52]

The contract to raise the risin' sun[00:00:53]

And that's about the biggest thing[00:00:56]

That Man has ever done[00:00:58]

I taught Samson how to use his mighty hand[00:00:59]

I showed Columbus to this happy land[00:01:04]

And for Pharaoh's little kiddies[00:01:07]

I built all the pyramiddies[00:01:09]

And to the Sahara carried all the sand[00:01:10]

Pyramids[00:01:14]

Now I was strawboss on the pyramids[00:01:15]

And the tower of Babel too[00:01:17]

I opened up the ocean [00:01:19]

Let the mighty children through[00:01:20]

I fought a million battles[00:01:22]

And I never lost a one[00:01:24]

And that's about the biggest thing[00:01:26]

That Man has ever done[00:01:28]

I taught Solomon his little ABC's[00:01:29]

I'm the first one to eat Limburger cheese[00:01:33]

And while floating down the bay[00:01:37]

With Methuseleh one day[00:01:39]

I saw his whiskers floating in the breeze[00:01:41]

Now I fought the revolution[00:01:45]

That set this country free[00:01:46]

It was me and a couple of Indians[00:01:48]

That dumped the Boston tea[00:01:50]

I won the battle of Valley Forge[00:01:52]

And the battle of Bully Run[00:01:54]

And that's about the biggest thing[00:01:55]

That Man has ever done[00:01:57]

Now Queen Elizabeth[00:01:59]

She fell in love with me[00:02:00]

We were married in Milwaukee secretly[00:02:02]

But I got tired and shook her[00:02:06]

And ran off with General Hooker[00:02:08]

To go shootin' skeeters down in Tennessee[00:02:10]
