I am looking for the lyrics to a song for a friend. Somewhere in the lyrics or title is the phrase I was born 10,000 years ago--or it could also be 10,000 years in the garden of eden--or 10,000years with adam and eve. Any info would be much appreciated. Francie2

In DT, file BORN10K. There's also an old thread that dealt with this, but I can't remember what it was called.

Here's as much as I can remember right now:

I was born about 10,000 years ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know.
???

Cho:
'Cause you know I'm a very highly educated man
And to keep my brains within my head I plan
???

I saw Satan when he looked the garden o'er
And saw Adam and Eve driven from the door
And behind the bushes peeping
Saw the apple they were eating,
And I swear that I'm the guy that ate the core!

chorus

I taught Solomon his little ABC's
??
Iwent sailing on the bay
With Methuselah one day
And I saved his flowing whiskers from the breeze!

chorus

That's as much as I can squeeze out of an uncooperative brain right now. Maybe someone else can fill in the blanks, or maybe some more will dawn on me.
