I WAS BORN 10,000 YEARS AGO

I WAS BORN 10,000 YEARS AGO

Matt McGinn

I was born ten thousand years ago

There's nothing in this world I don't know

I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

And I'll whip the man who said it isn't so

A pansy who lived in Khartoum

Took a lesbian up to his room

They argued all night about who had the right

To do what and with which and to whom

I was born ten thousand years ago

There's nothing in this world I don't know

I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

And I'll whip the man who said it isn't so

There was this young fellow called Dirken

Who was always jerkin his gherkin

His mama said, 'Dirken, stop jerkin yer gherkin

Yer gherkin's for firkin, not jerkin'

I was born ten thousand years ago

There's nothing in this world I don't know

I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

And I'll whip the man who said it isn't so

A plumber who lived in Dundee

Was plumbing a lass by the sea

And as he was plumbing, she said, 'Someone's coming'

Said the plumber, still plumbing, 'It's me'

I was born ten thousand years ago

There's nothing in this world I don't know

I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

And I'll whip the man who said it isn't so

There was this young lady from Norway

Who hung by her toes from the doorway

She said to her young man, 'Get off the divan

I think I've discovered one more way’

I was born ten thousand years ago

There's nothing in this world I don't know

I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

And I'll whip the man who said it isn't so
