A Hundred Years Ago

A hundred years is a very long time,

Oh yes, oh,

A hundred years is a very long time

A hundred years ago.

They used to think that pigs could fly

Oh yes, oh,

I don't believe it no, not I

A hundred years ago.

They thought the moon was made of cheese

Oh yes, oh,

You can believe it, if you please

A hundred years ago.

They thought the stars was set alight

Oh yes, oh,

By some good angel every night

A hundred years ago.

They hung a man for making steam

Oh yes, oh,

They cast his body in the stream

A hundred years ago.

A hundred years is a very long time

Oh yes, oh,

A hundred years is a very long time

A hundred years ago.

I thought I heard our old man say

Oh yes, oh,

That we were homeward bound today

It's time for us to go!

Belay!
