Oh, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad
|
It was a time like no one else has ever had
|
We learned to drive, we learned to fly
|
We sent a man into the sky
|
When he walked on the moon, we were so glad
|
Yeah, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad
|
|
Yeah, the twentieth century was quite a ride
|
We had to learn to see the other side
|
We had demonstrations and liberations
|
Great depressions and good vibrations
|
And doors that once were closed were opened wide
|
Oh, the twentieth century was quite a ride
|
|
We had movin' pictures and radio
|
And Broadway, country, rock and roll
|
In 1900, who'd a bet we'd all be surfing on the internet
|
|
Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show
|
We all had our fifteen minutes, don't you know
|
Assembly lines, celebrities,
|
The spotlight shined on you and me
|
And everybody got a standin' O
|
Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show
|
|
From blocks of ice to air-condition
|
Telegraph to television
|
In 1900, who'd a known we all wind up with pocket phones
|
|
The twentieth century wasn't all that long
|
Just a hundred years has come and gone
|
We can't go back even if we try
|
So I'll just smile and wave goodbye
|
To see it leavin' makes me kinda sad
|
It was a time like no one else has ever had
|
Oh, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad
|
|
The twentieth century
|
Bye-bye
|
|
The twentieth century
|
Goodbye...
