Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Turn of the Century

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band


There'll be flying boats, and condos with moats; 
cultivated oceans, floating cities in the sky. 
living underneath a bubble; 
no more toil and trouble 
Singin' 'bout that sweet ole by and by. 

We'll all have lots of money 
That we won't have to spend; 
You'll be given everything 
When everyone's your friend 
Hanging out together 
in picture perfect weather - 
This time 'round the party never ends. 

Hallelujah, I can't wait to see it 
Hallelujah, come on and go with me 
Let me show you the way it's gonna be 
at the turn, 
the turn of the century. 

We won't need no TV preachers 
to ask how much we gave 
we won't need no TV preachers, 
see, by then, we'll all be saved 
no more fighting for a country 
no child will go hungry 
We'll be smiling from the cradle to the grave. 

Hallelujah, I can't wait to see it 
Hallelujah, come on and go with me 
Let me show you the way it's gonna be 
at the turn, 
the turn of the century.
