Lyrics

Turn your watch, turn your watch back, about a hundred thousand years.
A hundred thousand years.
I'll meet you by the third pyramid
I'll meet you by the third pyramid
Ah come on, that's what
I want, we'll meet in
Mesopotamia. oh oh oh (We're goin' down to meet)
I ain't no student, (Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture (I know a neat excavation)
Before I talk
I should read a book.
But there's one thing
I do know,
There's a lot of ruins in
Mesopotamia.
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
I'll meet you by the third pyramid
I'll meet you by the third pyramid
Ah come on, that's what
I want, we'll meet in
Mesopotamia. oh oh oh (We're goin' down to meet)
Now I ain't no student, (Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture (I know a neat excavation)
Before I talk
I should read a book. (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)
But there's one thing that
I do know, (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)
There's a lot of ruins in
Mesopotamia.
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
In Mesopotamia.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
They laid down the law.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
In Mesopotamia.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
