(início)
D A7 I was born about 10,000 years ago A7 D There ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know G D I saw Peter, Paul & Moses playing ring around the roses D A7 D And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so.
Verse 1
D A7 Well, I’m just a lonesome traveler, a great historical bum. A7 D Highly educated through history I have come. G D I built the rock of ages it was in the year of one. A7 D And that’s about the biggest thing that man has ever done.
Verse 2
D A7 I saw Adam & Eve driven from the door. A7 D I’m the guy that picked the fig leaves that they wore. D G D And from behind the bushes peepin’ saw the apple they was eatin’. D A7 D And I swear that I’m the one what ate the core.
Verse 3
D A7 Now I built the garden of Eden it was in the year of two. A7 D Joined the apple pickers union and I always paid my due. G D I’m the man what signed the contract to raise the rising sun. A7 D And that’s about the biggest thing that man has ever done.
Verse 4
D A7 I taught Samson how to use his mighty hand. A7 D I showed Columbus to this happy land. G D And for Pharaoh’s little kiddies I built all the pyramiddies. A7 D And to the Sahara carried all the sand.
Verse 5
D A7 Now I was straw boss on the pyramids, and the tower of Babel too. A7 D I opened up the ocean, let the migrant children through. G D I fought a million battles and I never lost a one. A7 D And that’s about the biggest thing that man has ever done.
Verse 6
D A7 I taught Solomon his little ABC’s. A7 D I’m the first one that ate Limburger cheese. G D And while floatin’ down the bay with Methuselah one day. A7 D I saw his whiskers floatin’ in the breeze.
Verse 7
D A7 Now, I fought the revolution that set this country free A7 D It was me and a couple of Indians that dumped the Boston tea G D I won the battle of Valley Forge and the battle of bully run A7 D And that’s about the biggest thing that man has ever done.
Verse 8
D A7 Well, Queen Elizabeth she fell in love with me A7 D We were married in Milwaukee secretly G D But I got tired and shook her and ran off with General Hooker A7 D To go shootin’ skeeters down in Tennessee.
Chorus
D A7 I was born about 10,000 years ago A7 D There ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know G D I saw Peter, Paul & Moses playing ring around the roses D A7 D And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so.
