The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water

I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago

There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife

I said now you're talking business have a chair

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago

Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago

Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water

I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark

And I crawled in the window after dark

I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale

And I crossed over Canaan on a log

I was born about ten thousand years ago

Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water

I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago

Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark

And I crawled in the window after dark

I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale

And I crossed over Canaan on a log

I was born about ten thousand years ago

There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife

I said now you're talking business have a chair

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago

Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so
