I'm just a lonesome traveler,
the great historical bum
Highly educated, from history I have come
I built the Rock of Ages,
it was in the year of one
That's about the biggest thing
that man has ever done
I worked in the Garden of Eden,
it was the year of two
I joined the apple picker's union,
I always paid my dues
I'm the man that signed the contract
to raise the rising sun
That's about the biggest thing
that man has ever done
I was straw boss on the pyramids
and the Tower of Babel too
I opened up the ocean,
let the migrant children through
I fought a million battles
and I never lost the one
And that's about the biggest thing
that man has ever done
I was a hoplite and a phalanx
that fought the Persians back
Heavily outnumbered,
we weathered the attack
I ran all the way from Marathon
with the news that we had won
And that's about the biggest thing
that man has ever done
I built the Coliseum
where the gladiators fought
Raced chariots in the circus
and I built the aqueducts
I paved the roads of empire
that all led straight to Rome
That's about the biggest thing
that man has ever done
I'm just a lonesome traveler,
the great historical bum
Highly educated, from history I have come
I built the seven wonders,
was in the year of one
That's about the biggest thing
that man has ever done
Yeah, that's about the biggest thing
that man has ever done
