A hundred years is a very long time,
A hundred years is a very long time
They used to think that pics could fly,
I don't believe it, no, not I
They thought the moon was made of cheese,
You can believe it, if you please
They thought the stars were set alight,
By some good angel every night
They hung a man for making steam,
They cast his body into the stream
A hundred years is a very long time,
A hundred years is a very long time
I thought I heard our old man say,
That we were homeward bound today
A hundred years is a very long time,
A hundred years is a very long time
