Buck in 1899 everybody sang Auld Lang Syne

A hundred years would take a long long time for every boy and girl

Now there's just one thing that I would like to know where did the 20th century go

I swear it was there just a minute ago all over this world

All over this world all over this world

The 20th century is almost over almost over almost over

The 20th century is almost over all over the world

Does anyone recall the great depression I read all about it in the true confession

Sorry I was late for the recording session but somebody put me on hold

Did anybody see those linoleum floors petroleum jelly and the two world wars

They went around in revolving doors all over this world

All over this world...

[ banjo ]

Old Father Time is a rumblin' and a rappin'

Standin' at the window thumpin' and a tappin'

Everybody's waitin' for somethin' to happen hope it don't happen to you

You know the Judgement Day is gettin' nearer there it is in the rear view mirror

If you duck down I could see a little clearer all over this world

All over this world...

All over this world...

All over this world...
