Buck in 1899 everybody sang Auld Lang SyneA hundred years would take a long long time for every boy and girlNow there's just one thing that I would like to know where did the 20th century goI swear it was there just a minute ago all over this worldAll over this world all over this worldThe 20th century is almost over almost over almost overThe 20th century is almost over all over the world[ banjo ]Does anyone recall the great depression I read all about it in the true confessionSorry I was late for the recording session but somebody put me on holdDid anybody see those linoleum floors petroleum jelly and the two world warsThey went around in revolving doors all over this worldAll 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 youYou know the Judgement Day is gettin' nearer there it is in the rear view mirrorIf you duck down I could see a little clearer all over this worldAll over this world...All over this world...All over this world...
