Oh, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad |
|
It was a time like no one else has ever had |
|
We learned to drive, we learned to fly |
|
We sent a man into the sky |
|
When he walked on the moon, we were so glad |
|
Yeah, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad |
|
Yeah, the twentieth century was quite a ride |
|
We had to learn to see the other side |
|
We had demonstrations and liberations |
|
Great depressions and good vibrations |
|
And doors that once were closed were opened wide |
|
Oh, the twentieth century was quite a ride |
|
We had movin' pictures and radio |
|
And Broadway, country, rock and roll |
|
In 1900, who'd a bet we'd all be surfing on the internet |
|
Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show |
|
We all had our fifteen minutes, don't you know |
|
Assembly lines, celebrities, |
|
The spotlight shined on you and me |
|
And everybody got a standin' O |
|
Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show |
|
From blocks of ice to air-condition |
|
Telegraph to television |
|
In 1900, who'd a known we all wind up with pocket phones |
|
The twentieth century wasn't all that long |
|
Just a hundred years has come and gone |
|
We can't go back even if we try |
|
So I'll just smile and wave goodbye |
|
To see it leavin' makes me kinda sad |
|
It was a time like no one else has ever had |
|
Oh, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad |
|
The twentieth century |
|
Bye-bye |
|
The twentieth century |
|
Goodbye... |
