I was born about ten thousand years ago

1.
I was born about ten thousand years ago,
and there's nothing in the world that I don't know,
I saw Peter, Paul and Moses, playing ring around the roses,
and I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so.

2.
I saw Satan when he looked the garden o'er.
I saw Adam and Eve driven from the door,
and behind the bushes peeping, saw the apple they were eating,
and I'll swear that I'm the guy that a'te the core.

3.
I saw Jonah when he shoved off in the whale,
and I thought he'd never live to tell the tale,
but old Jonah'd eaten garlic, and he gave the whale the colic,
so he coughed him up and let him outta jail.

4.
I saw Samson when he laid the village cold,
I saw Daniel tame the lions in their hold;
I helped build the tower of Babel up as high as they were able,
and there's lots of other things I haven't told.
