The Twentieth Century

B[G]ack in 1899, when eve[C]ryone was singing "Auld Lang Syne[G]",

A[D] century took a long, long time for every boy and girl.

N[G]ow there's just one thing I'd like to know,

W[C]here did the 20th century go[G]?

I[G]'d swear it was here just a minute ago.

A[D]ll over this world.

(Chorus:)

A[G]nd the 20th century is alm[C]ost over, almost over[G],

T[G]he 20th century is almost over, all over this world,             [D]

A[G]ll over this world, all over [C]this world.    [G]

T[G]he 20th century is almost over, all over this[D] world.              [G]

Does anyone remember the Great Depression?
I read all about it in True Confessions,
Sorry I was late for the recording sessions,
but somebody put me on hold.
Has anybody seen my linoleum floors,
petroleym jelly and two world wars.
The got stuck in the revolving doors,
All over this world.

Winters getting cooler, summer's getting hotter,
wishing well's wishing for another drop of water,
Mother Earth's blushihng 'cause somebody caught her
making love to the man in the moon.
How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm,
Not that outer space has lost its charm.
Somebody set off the burglar alarm,
And not a moment too soon.
