I was born about ten thousand years ago
(adapted by elvis presley)
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
There 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 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 tale
And I crossed over canaan on a log
