Lyrics
Once Upon A Time
With dinosaurs I used to hang around
But suddenly I had to go to ground
A comet decided to intrude
Devastation then ensued
I reemerged when things had settled down
I was driving past a grassy knoll
I was flagged down by a flustered soul
He was badly in need of a ride
He and his holdall jumped inside
We sped away from the police patrols
Chorus
I've been around, I've done so much
Sometimes I wonder how
I manage to fit all things
Into the here and now
Verse
To wander round Jerusalem I would crave
When I heard a guy shouting from the cave
I used both shoulders
To push away a major boulder
And this bearded bloke ran off from the grave
Chorus
I've been around, I've done so much
Sometimes I wonder how
I manage to fit all things
Into the here and now
Verse
I was in Chicago 1871
With Mrs O' Leary and her son
The shed was dark, I struck up a light
I gave one cow a major fright
I didn't stay around to enjoy the fun
Chorus
I've been around, I've done so much
Sometimes I wonder how
I manage to fit all things
Into the here and now
