[Verse 1: Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider]
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 gonna meet and) 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 that I do know
There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia (Hey!)
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law (They laid down the law)
[Chorus: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]
Six or eight thousand years ago
(Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha haa)
They laid down the law
(Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha haa)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider]
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 gonna meet and) 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 (They laid down the law)
[Chorus: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]
Six or eight thousand years ago
(Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha haa)
They laid down the law, in Mesopotamia
(Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha haa)
(Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha haa)
They laid down the law
(Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha haa)
In Mesopotamia
(Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha haa)
