C The continent of Atlantis was an island D Which lay before the great flood F In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. C G C So great an area of land, that from her western shores D Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South
And the North Americas with ease
F C G In their ships with painted sails. C To the east, Africa was a neighbor, D D F Across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant
C G Of the Atlantian culture. C The antediluvian kings colonized the world; D All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas D F C G In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis. C D Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
F C The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, the magician, G And the other so-called Gods of our legends, C Though Gods they were. D And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind, F C Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new . . . G Hail Atlantis!

My antediluvian baby, oh yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah,
I want to see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah,
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl;
Girl, I want to see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah,
I want to see you some day, oh,
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I want to see you;
My antediluvian baby—gotta tell me where she gone
I want to see you some day,
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah;
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah . . .
