Start Jamming...
[E] I was born ten thousand [B] years ago
There's nothing in this world I [E] don't know
[A] I saw Peter, Paul and Moses
[E] Playing ring around the roses
[B] And I'll whip the man who said [G] it [B] isn't [E] so
A pansy who lived [B] in Khartoum
Took a lesbian up [G] to [E] his room
They argued all night [A] about who had the right
[B] To do what and with [Em] which and [E] to whom
I was born ten thousand [B] years ago
There's nothing in this world I [E] don't know
I [A] saw Peter, Paul and Moses
[E] Playing ring around the roses
And [B] I'll whip the man who said it isn't so
[E] There was this young [B] fellow called Durkin
Who was always jerkin' [E] his gherkin
His mama said Durkin, [A] stop jerkin' your gherkin
[Em] Your [F#m] gherkins for [E] firkin', not jerkin'
I was born ten thousand [B] years ago
There's nothing in this world [E] I don't know
I [A] saw Peter, Paul and Moses
[E] Playing ring around the roses
[B] And I'll whip the man who said [E] it isn't so
A plumber who lived in [B] Dundee
Was plumbing, alas, [E] by the sea
And as he was plumbing
[A] She said, someone's coming
[C#] Said [F#m] the plumber, [B] still plumbing, [E] it's me
I was born ten thousand [Em] years [B] ago
There's nothing in this world [E] I don't know
[A] I saw Peter, Paul and Moses
[E] Playing ring around the [B] roses
And I'll whip the man who said [E] it isn't so
There was this young lady [B] from Norway
Who [F#m] hung [B] by her toes [E] from the doorway
She said to her young man, [A] get off the divan
[B] I think I discovered [E] one more way
I was born ten [B] thousand years ago
[F#m] [B] There's nothing in this [E] world I don't know
I [A] saw Peter, Paul and Moses
[E] Playing ring around the [B] roses
And I'll whip the man who [E] said it [A] [E] isn't so
