(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
