THE TWENTIETH CENTURY IS ALMOST OVER [Verse] 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 Where did the 20th century go? I’d swear it was there just a minute ago. All over this world. [Chorus] All over this world all over this world. The 20th century is almost over all over this world. Does anybody recall the Great Depression? I read all about it in True Confessions Sorry I was late for the recording sessions Somebody put me on hold. Did anybody see them linoleum floors petroleum jelly and two world wars. The went ?round in revolving doors All over this world. [Chorus] All over this world all over this world. The 20th century is almost over almost over almost over The 20th century is almost over all over this world. Old Father Time is a rumbling and a rappin’ Standin’ at the window thumpin? and a tappin’ Everybody’s waitin? for something to happen I hope it don?t happen to you You know the Judgment Day is getting nearer There it is in the rear view mirror. If you duck down I could see a little clearer All over this world. [Chorus] All over this world all over this world. The 20th century is almost over almost over almost over The 20th century is almost over all over this world. [Chorus] All over this world all over this world. The 20th century is almost over almost over almost over The 20th century is almost over all over this world.
