^GBack in 1899, when e^Cverybody sang "Auld Lang S^Gyne", A hundred years would take a long, long time for every little boy and ^Dgirl. Now th^Gere's just one thing I would like to know, ^CWhere did the 20th century ^Ggo? ^GI'd swear it was there just a minute ago. All o^Dver this wor^Gld.

^GAll over this world, a^Cll over this world. The 2^G0th century is almost over, all o^Dver this wo^Grld.

^GDoes anybody recall the^C Great Depressi^Gon? I read all about it in True Confess^Dions, Sorry I w^Gas late for the recording sessions, ^CSomebody put me on h^Gold.

^GThe went ?round in revolving doors, All o^Dver this wo^Grld. [Chorus] ^GAll over this world, all ove^Cr this world. The 2^G0th century is almost over, almost o^Dver almost o^Gver The 20th century is almost over, all o^Dver this wo^Grld.

^GOld Father Time is a r^Cumbling and a rappin', Standin' at the window thumpin? and a ta^Gppin',

I hope it don?t happen to y^Dou, You k^Gnow the Judgment Day is getting nearer, ^CThere it is in the rear view mir^Gror. If you duck down, I could see a little clearer, All o^Dver this w^Gorld.

^GAll over this world, all ove^Cr this world. ^GThe 20th century is almost over, almost o^Dver almost o^Gver ^GThe 20th century is almost over, all o^Dver this wo^Grld.

^GAll over this world, all o^Cver this world. ^GThe 20th century is almost over, almost o^Dver almost o^Gver ^GThe 20th century is almost over, all o^Dver this wo^Grld.
