I was born about
10 ,000 years ago
There ain't nothin' in the
world that I don't know
I saw Peter, Paul and Moses
playin' ring around the roses
I like the guy that says it isn't so
I was there when Gabriel
searched the garden o 'er
Saw even Adam flyin' from the door
And behind the gate a -peepin'
Saw the apple they were keepin'
I swear that I'm the guy who ate the core
I saw Cain and Abel playin' in the glade
I am certain it was poker that they played,
But on one point there's a rub,
Did he hit him with a club,
Or perhaps it was a
diamond or a spade.
I saw Solomon in all his wife's affair,
I saw Absalom hanging by the hair,
And when I saved King David's life,
And he offered me a wife,
I said, now you're talking business,
have a chair.
Say I was present
when they sopped up Caesar's gore,
And the Senators were
skating round the floor.
It was I who swiped the crown
that he foolishly turned down,
And I hocked it in the shop in Baltimore.
I made a face at Empress Josephine,
I regret to state the fact that I was seen,
So I fought a duel that day
with Napoleon,
And, say, I popped him through
the goozle with a bean.
Then I sail with Cleopatra on the Nile,
And it was thus she whispered to me,
with a smile.
Now, as for Mark Antony,
I have always thought him phony,
but, honey, I am stuck on you a pile.
Yes, I was born about a
thousand years ago.
There ain't nothin' in the world
that I don't know.
I saw Peter, Paul, and Moses
playin' ring around the roses.
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so.
