Old Father Time is a rumbling and a rappin',

Standin' at the window thumpin? and a tappin',
Everybody's waitin? for something to happen,
D
I hope it don?t happen to you,
G
You know the Judgment Day is getting nearer,
C G
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, all over this world.
