song lyrics

"I Was Born Almost 10,000 Years Ago"

arranged by Lester Norton

I was born almost 10,000 years ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw Peter, Paul and Moses
Playing ring around the roses
And I'll kill the man that says that it ain't so

I saw Satan when he looked the Garden o'er
Saw Adam and Eve as they were shown right out the door
And behind the bushes peepin'
Saw the apple they were eatin'
I swear that I'm the guy that ate the core

I saw Jonah when he embarked within the whale
I thought he'd never live to tell the tale
But old Jonah he'd eaten garlic
And that gave that whale the colic
And he coughed him up and he let him out of jail

I was born almost 10,000 years ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw Peter, Paul and Moses
Playing ring around the roses
And I'll kill the man that says that it ain't so

Saw Peter, Paul and Moses
Playing ring around the roses
And I'll kill the man that says that it ain't so
