The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over

Back in 1899

Everybody sang "Auld Lang Syne"

A hundred years would take a long, long time

For every little boy and girl

Now there's just one thing that I would like to know

Where did the twentieth century go

I swear it was there just a minute ago

All over this world

All over this world

All over this world

The twentieth century is almost over

All over this world (justify the path)

Does anybody 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 them linoleum floors

Petroleum jelly and two world wars?

They went around in revolving doors

All over this world

All over this world

All over this world

The twentieth century is almost over

Almost over, almost over

The twentieth century is almost over

All over this world

Ol' father time is a-rumblin' and a-rappin'

Standin' at the window, thumpin' and a-tappin'

Everybody's waitin' for somethin' to happen

I 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

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

Almost over, almost over

The twentieth century is almost over

All over this world, yeah

All over this world

All over this world

The twentieth century is almost over

Almost over, almost over

The twentieth century is almost over
