歌词

[00:01.45] I’m an old timer I’m an excellent rhymer
[00:05.00] I’ll send you a song of the sights I have seen
[00:09.30] ‘Tis late in December but well I remember
[00:13.82] The springtime of youth when the world was so green
[00:21.45]
[00:23.14] I was born a hundred thousand years ago
[00:26.18] There ain’t nothin’ in this world that I don’t know.
[00:29.38] There’s no place that I ain’t been
[00:31.05] Round the world and back again,
[00:32.67] And I’ll whup the man that says it isn’t so
[00:36.21] In the dawn of civilization I recall,
[00:39.48] My cave had bearskin carpets, wall to wall.
[00:42.48] We were quite the social group,
[00:44.16] I was friends with Alley Oop,
[00:45.80] And a charming fellow named Neanderthal.
[00:49.18] I knew Adam and Eve before they knew the score:
[00:52.40] It was I designed the fig leaves that they wore.
[00:55.62] From behind the bushes kneelin’
[00:57.17] Saw the apple they was peelin’,
[00:58.87] And I swear that I’m the guy that ate the core.
[01:02.34] I was born a hundred thousand years ago
[01:05.39] There ain’t nothin’ in this world that I don’t know.
[01:08.61] There’s no place that I ain’t been
[01:10.26] Round the world and back again,
[01:11.83] And I’ll whup the man that says it isn’t so
[01:15.45] Took a trip with Cleopatra down the Nile.
[01:18.40] Yes, we dated off and on for quite awhile.
[01:21.75] And for King Tut and his kiddies,
[01:23.40] I built all the pyramiddies,
[01:25.12] And I represented Caesar at his trial.
[01:28.36] Mr. Nero was a personal friend of mine.
[01:31.85] The way he played the fiddle was divine.
[01:35.04] I went by invitation
[01:36.36] To a Roman celebration,
[01:38.27] And. ended up with ashes in my wine.
[01:41.42] I was born a hundred thousand years ago
[01:44.51] There ain’t nothin’ in this world that I don’t know.
[01:47.75] There’s no place that I ain’t been
[01:49.36] Round the world and back again,
[01:50.94] And I’ll whup the man that says it isn’t so
[01:54.40] I’ll tell you how America came to be:
[01:57.49] I went sailing with Columbus ‘cross the sea.
[02:00.84] He got sick the day we landed,
[02:02.46] And he went home empty-handed.
[02:04.08] By rights, the whole darn place belongs to me.
[02:07.55] I know much more than any book can tell,
[02:10.55] And you must admit, I sing it rather well.
[02:13.65] But the last part is the best,
[02:15.31] If you’d like to hear the rest,
[02:16.97] You can sing it for yourself or go to hell.
[02:20.39] I was born a hundred thousand years ago
[02:23.42] There ain’t nothin’ in this world that I don’t know.
[02:26.69] There’s no place that I ain’t been
[02:28.65] Round the world and back again,
[02:29.88] And I’ll whup the man that says it isn’t so
[02:32.41]
