I saw old pharaoh’s daughter bring Moses from the waterI'll lick the guy that says it isn't soI was born about ten thousand years agoThere ain't nothing in this world that I don't knowI saved king David’s life and he offered me a wifeI said now you're talking business have a chairYeah, I was born about ten thousand years agoAin't nothing in this world that I don't knowSaw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the rosesI'll lick the guy that says it isn't soI was born about ten thousand years agoAin't nothing in this world that I don't knowI saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the waterI'll lick the guy that says it isn't soI was there when old Noah built the arkAnd I crawled in the window after darkI saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's taleAnd I crossed over Canaan on a logI was born about ten thousand years agoAin't nothing in this world that I don't knowI saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the waterI'll lick the guy that says it isn't soYeah, I was born about ten thousand years agoAin't nothing in this world that I don't knowSaw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the rosesI'll lick the guy that says it isn't soI was there when old Noah built the arkAnd I crawled in the window after darkI saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's taleAnd I crossed over Canaan on a logI was born about ten thousand years agoThere ain't nothing in this world that I don't knowI saved king David’s life and he offered me a wifeI said now you're talking business have a chairYeah, I was born about ten thousand years agoAin't nothing in this world that I don't knowSaw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the rosesI'll lick the guy that says it isn't so
