The Twentieth Century is Almost Over Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back in 1899
Everybody sang "Auld Lang Syne"
A hundred years would take a long-long time
For every little boy and girl
Now there's just one thing I would like to know
Where did the twentieth century go?
I swear it was there just a minute ago, all over this world
[Chorus]
All over this world
All over this world
The twentieth century is almost over
All over this world
[Verse 2]
Does anybody recall the Great Depression?
I read all about it in the True Confession
Sorry I was late for the recording session
Somebody put me on hold
Did anybody see them linoleum floors, petroleum jelly, and two world wars?
The went 'round in revolving doors, all over this world
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Old father time is a-rumbling and a-rapping
Standing at the window, thumping and a-tapping

Everybody's waiting for something to happen
I hope it don't happen to you
You know, the judgement day is getting nearer
There it is in the rear-view mirror
If you duck down, I could see a little clearer, all over this world
[Chorus][x3]
