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 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
