Dual Yul Century

(as sung by the New Century Singers)

Euell Gibbons always symbolized to me

That man can live and eat naturally

So how’s there any hope for a guy like you or me

When Euell Gibbons died from the wrong part of a tree

Guess we’ll find out in the new century

Yul Brynner always made me wonder why

The movies would pick one foreign guy

To play another foreign guy

In the King and I

          Yeah, the King and me

Guess we’ll find out in the new century

One day I was drinking rum

And God said to me John

Build a cabin

   get some grape nuts

and the King and I

And they will come.

I said God who will come

He said the Yuls will come

In century twenty-one

Running out of real estate

Let’s get goin while the goins great

Pack up your goods

Let’s hit the woods

Bring your VCR

You only need an extension cord

We won’t be going far
