The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over Lyrics & Tabs by Steve Goodman
The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over
guitar chords lyrics
Back in 1899 when everybody sang auld lang syne
A hundred years took a long, long time
For every boy and girl
Now there's only one thing i'd like to know
Where did the 20th century go
I'd swear it was here just a minute ago
All over this world.
Does anyone remember the great depression
I read all about it in true confessions
Sorry i was late for the recording sessions
But somebody put me on hold;
Has anybody seen my linoleum floors,
Petroleum jelly and two world wars;
They got stuck in the revolving doors
All over this world.
Petroleum jelly and two world wars;
They got stuck in the revolving doors
All over this world.
Winter's getting colder, summer's getting hotter
Wishing well's wishing for another drop of water
Mother earth's blushin' cause somebody caught her
Making love to the man in the moon
How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm,
Now that outer space has lost its charm,
Somebody set off the burglar alarm and not a moment too
Old father time has got his toes a tappin,
Standin'in the window grumblin'and a rappin'
Everybody's waiting for something to happen,
Tell me if it happens to you
The judgement day is getting nearer,
There it is in the rear view mirror
If you duck down, i could see a little clearer
All over this world.
The twentieth century is almost over
Almost over, almost over
The twentieth century is almost over
All over this world.
All over this world, all over this world.
The twentieth century is almost over all over this world.
