I Was Born About 10,000 Years Ago (And that's No Lie)

I Was Born About 10,000 Years Ago (And that's No Lie)

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There's a lot of famous folks I used to know
I was in the Ark with Noah, I was in the whale with Jonah
And there's no one who can prove it isn't so
And that's no lie, and that's no lie.

You can stop me if you've heard this one before
'Bout the apple too delicious to ignore
Adam said to Eve:
"We're cheating, if that apple we start eating!
I came by and I'm the guy what ate the core
And that's no lie, and that's no lie!

Old King Solomon was very wise, they claim
With a thousand wives, he knew them all by name
That's because I used to list 'em - With my alphabetic system
In my little book - each time he took a dame
And that's no lie, and that's no lie!

Isabella sent Columbus with a crew
On a little trip across the ocean blue
But to me she said:
"Hey, fella, you stay here with Isabella"
I'm the stowaway of fourteen ninety two
And that's no lie, and that's no lie!

I was on the shore with Washington, I swear
When he tossed a coin across the Delaware
But nobody has believed it, when I tell 'em I retrieved it
And I bought me boots, they cost a buck a pair
And that's no lie, and that's no lie!

Nowadays, I see a doll whose name is Pearl
And to tell the truth, I really love the girl
When I said:
"I love you, honey!" She said: "Quit your kidding, sonny
You're the biggest little liar in the world."
And that's no lie, and that's no lie!

I've been notified by wire.
I'm the champ
The winning liar
I'm the biggest little liar in the world.

SPOKEN: And that's no lie!
