The Twenty Century Is Almost over Lyrics

The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over

Back in 1899, everybody sang Auld Lang Syne
A hundred years would take a long long time
For every boy and girl.
Now there's just one thing I would like to know
Where did the twentieth century go?
I swear it was there just a minute ago.

All over this world,
All over this world,
All over this world.
The twentieth century is almost over,
Almost over,
Almost over.
The twentieth century is almost over,
All over this world.

Does anyone recall the great depression?
I read all about it in the true confession.
Sorry I was late for the recording session.
But somebody put me on hold
Did anybody see those linoleum floors?
Petroleum jelly and two world wars
They went around in revolving doors
All over this world,
All over this world,
All over this world.
The twentieth century is almost over,
Almost over,
Almost over.
The twentieth century is almost over,
All over this world.

Old Father Time is a-rumbling and a-rapping
Standing at the window thumping and a-tapping
Everybody's waiting for something to happen
Hope it doesn't happen to you
You know the judgement 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,
All over this world,
All over this world.
The twentieth century is almost over,
Almost over,
Almost over.
The twentieth century is almost over,
All over this world.
