Buck in 1899 everybody sang Auld Lang Syne
A hundred years would take a long long time for every boy and girl
Now there's just one thing that I would like to know where did the 20th century go
I swear it was there just a minute ago all over this world
All over this world all over this world
The 20th century is almost over almost over almost over
The 20th century is almost over all over the world

Does anyone recall the great depression I read all about it in the true confession
Sorry I was late for the recording session but somebody put me on hold
Did anybody see those linoleum floors petroleum jelly and the two world wars
They went around in revolving doors all over this world
All over this world...

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 you
You know the Judgement Day is gettin' nearer there it is in the rear view mirror
If you duck down I could see a little clearer all over this world
All over this world...
All over this world...
All over this world...
