I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago (master take 1) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

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 born about ten thousand years ago
Ain't nothing in this world that I don′t know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
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


I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain't nothing in this world that I don′t know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I′ll lick the guy that says it isn't so

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

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
