The New Christy Minstrels - The Old Timer lyrics
I’m an old timer I’m an excellent rhymer I’ll send you a song of the sights I have seen ‘Tis late in December but well I remember The springtime of youth when the world was so green I was born a hundred thousand years ago There ain’t nothin’ in this world that I don’t know. There’s no place that I ain’t been Round the world and back again, And I’ll whup the man that says it isn’t so In the dawn of civilization I recall, My cave had bearskin carpets, wall to wall. We were quite the social group, I was friends with Alley Oop, And a charming fellow named Neanderthal. I knew Adam and Eve before they knew the score: It was I designed the fig leaves that they wore. From behind the bushes kneelin’ Saw the apple they was peelin’, And I swear that I’m the guy that ate the core. I was born a hundred thousand years ago There ain’t nothin’ in this world that I don’t know. There’s no place that I ain’t been Round the world and back again, And I’ll whup the man that says it isn’t so Took a trip with Cleopatra down the Nile. Yes, we dated off and on for quite awhile. And for King Tut and his kiddies, I built all the pyramiddies, And I represented Caesar at his trial. Mr. Nero was a personal friend of mine. The way he played the fiddle was divine. I went by invitation To a Roman celebration, And. ended up with ashes in my wine. I was born a hundred thousand years ago There ain’t nothin’ in this world that I don’t know. There’s no place that I ain’t been Round the world and back again, And I’ll whup the man that says it isn’t so I’ll tell you how America came to be: I went sailing with Columbus ‘cross the sea. He got sick the day we landed, And he went home empty-handed. By rights, the whole darn place belongs to me. I know much more than any book can tell, And you must admit, I sing it rather well. And the last part is the best, If you’d like to hear the rest, You can sing it for yourself or go to hell. I was born a hundred thousand years ago There ain’t nothin’ in this world that I don’t know. There’s no place that I ain’t been Round the world and back again, And I’ll whup the man that says it isn’t so |
