John Prine - The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Back in 1899, when everyone was singing auld lang syne
  • A century took a long, long time for every boy and girl.
  • Now theres only one thing that Id like to know
  • Where did the 20th century go?
  • Id swear it was here just a minute ago
  • All over this world.
  • Chorus:
  • And now the 20th century is almost over,
  • Almost over, almost over
  • The 20th century is almost over
  • All over this world.
  • All over this world, all over this world
  • The 20th century is almost over, all over this world.
  • Does anyone remember the great depression?
  • I read all about it in true confession
  • Im 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
  • All over this world.
  • And now...
  • The winters getting colder, summers getting hotter
  • Wishin wells wishin for another drop of water.
  • And mother earths blushin cause somebody caught her
  • Makin love to the man in the moon.
  • Tell me how you gonna keep em down on the farm
  • Now that outer space has lost its charm?
  • Somebody set off a burglar alarm
  • And not a moment too soon.
  • Because...
  • Old father time has got his toes a tappin
  • Standing in the window, grumblin and a rappin
  • Everybodys 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
  • All over this world!
  • And now...
