I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago lyrics

[Intro]
I saw old Pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

[Chorus 1]
I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain’t nothing in this world that I don't know
I saved King David's life, and he offered me a wife
I said, “Now you're talking business, have a chair”

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain’t nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul, and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

[Chorus 3]
I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain’t nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old Pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

[Chorus 4]
I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tail
And I crossed over Canaan on a log
[Chorus 3]
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain’t nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old Pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Yeah, ain’t nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul, and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so, mmm-yeah

[Chorus 4]
I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled through the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale, and Daniel twist the lion's tail
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

[Chorus 3]
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain’t nothing in this world that I don't know
Yeah, I saw old Pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

[Chorus 1]
I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain’t nothing in this world that I don't know
I saved King David's life, and he offered me a wife
I said, “Now you're talking business, have a chair”
[Chorus 2]
Mmmm, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain’t nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul, and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

[Outro]
