I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago - Elvis Presley

From the 1971 album "Elvis Country (I'm 10,000 Years Old)" 

Original key: 

Capo I

I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

#1:
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

#2:
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

#3:
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

#4:
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 tail
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

#5:
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

#6:
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Yeah there 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

#7:
I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled through the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tail
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

#8:
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Yeah, I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

#9:
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

#10:
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There 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 

#11: Elvis sings "scat" to the tune of the verse:

#12 (fade out):
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
and I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so  dah dah dah dah dah
