Back in 1899, when everyone was singing "Auld Lang Syne",
A century took a long, long time for every boy and girl.
Now there's just one thing I'd like to know,
Where did the 20th century go?
I'd swear it was here just a minute ago.
All over this world.
(Chorus:)
And the 20th century is almost over, almost over, almost over,
The 20th century is almost over, all over this world,
All over this world, all over this world.
The 20th century is almost over, all over this world.
Does anyone remember the Great Depression?
