"I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago" lyrics

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

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."

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

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

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

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

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, mm-yeah

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

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

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."

Mm-mm, 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

Mama-ma-ma, mah-mah, hum, him, hmm
Da dah-di-doh-din dih dun
Dah don't din dih don don't dah
Dah don't din dih don don't dah
Ma, 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
Dah, dah, din, doan, din...
