Does anyone recall the great depression?

I read all about it in the true confession

sorry I was late for the recording session

But somebody put me on hold.

Did anybody see those linoleum floors

Petroleum jelly, and the two world wars?

They went around in revolving doors

All over this world.

Old father time is a rumbling and a rappin

Standing in the window, thumpin and tappin

Everybody's waiting for something to happen.

You know the judgment day is getting nearer

There it is in the rear view mirror.

If you duck down I could see a little clearer

All over this world!

All over this world.
