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]
