The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over

[Verse 1] Back in 1899, when everyone was singing auld lang syne A century took a long, long time for every boy and girl Now there's only one thing that I'd like to know Where did the 20th century go I'd swear it was here just a minute ago [Chorus] All over this world [Verse 2] And now the 20th century is almost over Almost over, almost over The 20th century is almost over [Chorus][x3] [Verse 3] Does anyone remember the great depression I read all about it in true confession I'm sorry I was late for the recording session 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 [Chorus] [Verse 4] The winter's getting colder, summer's getting hotter Wishing well's wishing for another drop of water And mother earth's blushing because somebody caught her Making love to the man in the moon Tell me how you're going to keep them down on the farm Now that outer space has lost it's charm Somebody set off a burglar alarm And not a moment too soon Because Old father time has got his toes tapping Standing in the window, grumbling and a rapping Everybody's waiting for something to happen Tell me if it happens to you The judgment day is getting nearer There it is in the rear view mirror If you duck down I could see a little clearer [Chorus]
