《The Old-Timer》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm an old timer

[00:00:02] I'm an excellent rhymer

[00:00:04] I'll send you a song of the sights I have seen

[00:00:09] It's late in December but well I remember

[00:00:13] The springtime of youth when the world was so green

[00:00:23] I was born a hundred thousand years ago

[00:00:26] There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

[00:00:29] There's no place that I ain't been

[00:00:31] Round the world and back again

[00:00:32] And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so

[00:00:36] In the dawn of civilization I recall

[00:00:39] My cave had bearskin carpets

[00:00:40] Wall to wall

[00:00:42] We were quite the social group

[00:00:44] I was friends without you

[00:00:45] And a charming fellow named Neanderthal

[00:00:49] I knew Adam and Eve before they knew the score

[00:00:52] It was I designed the fig leaves that they wore

[00:00:55] And behind the bushes kneeling

[00:00:57] Saw the apple they was peeling

[00:00:58] And I swear that I'm the guy that ate the core

[00:01:02] I was born a hundred thousand years ago

[00:01:05] There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

[00:01:08] There's no place that I ain't been

[00:01:10] Round the world and back again

[00:01:11] And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so

[00:01:15] Took a trip with Cleopatra down the Nile

[00:01:18] Yes we dated off and on for quite awhile

[00:01:21] And for King Tut and his kiddies

[00:01:23] I built all the pyramiddies

[00:01:24] And I represented Caesar at his trial

[00:01:28] Mr Nero was a personal friend of mine

[00:01:31] The way he played the fiddle was divine

[00:01:34] I went by invitation

[00:01:36] To a Roman celebration

[00:01:37] And ended up with ashes in my wine

[00:01:41] I was born a hundred thousand years ago

[00:01:44] There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

[00:01:47] There's no place that I ain't been

[00:01:49] Round the world and back again

[00:01:50] And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so

[00:01:54] I'll tell you how America came to be

[00:01:57] I went sailing with Columbus cross the sea

[00:02:00] He got sick the day we landed

[00:02:02] And he went home empty-handed

[00:02:04] By rights the whole darn place belongs to me

[00:02:07] I know much more than any book can tell

[00:02:10] And you must admit

[00:02:11] I sing it rather well

[00:02:13] And the last part is the best

[00:02:15] If you'd like to hear the rest

[00:02:16] You can sing it for yourself or go to hell

[00:02:20] I was born a hundred thousand years ago

[00:02:23] There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

[00:02:26] There's no place that I ain't been

[00:02:28] Round the world and back again

[00:02:29] And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so

[00:02:33] And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so
