Back in 1899, when everybody sang "Auld Lang Syne",

A hundred years would take a long, long time for every little boy and girl.

Now there's just one thing I would like to know,

C                          G
Where did the 20th century go?

I'd swear it was there just a minute ago.

All over this world.

I read all about it in True Confessions,

         G
Sorry I was late for the recording sessions,

C                   G
Somebody put me on hold.
Did anybody see them linoleum floors, petroleum jelly and two world wars.
G                                        D          G

Old Father Time is a rumbling and a rappin',

                                        G
Standin' at the window thumpin? and a tappin',
Everybody's waitin? for something to happen,
                           D
I hope it don?t happen to you,

     G
You know the Judgment Day is getting nearer, 

C                               G
There it is in the rear view mirror.

                                                     D         G
If you duck down, I could see a little clearer, All over this world.

All over this world, all over this world.
