I was there in '69
The Beatles asked for a little more
I was there in '74
Richard Nixon stepped out the door
I was there in '78
Saturday Night was all the rage
I was there in '83
Return Of The Jedi was like a tree
I was there in '87 . . .
(chorus)
I was there!
I was there!
Yeah . . .
I was there!
I was there!
I was there!
Yeah . . .
I was there!
I was there in '91
The Gulf War was barely won
I was there in '97
Everything was Chumbawamba heaven
I was there in '99
All the 'puters went KABLIME!
I was there in 2003 . . .
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
I was there in all those years
All those events changed my days
I was there in all those years
Yeah . . .
I was there . . .
(repeat chorus 2x)
(repeat bridge 2x)
(whisper) I was there
I was there . . .
(repeat chorus 2x)

(chorus)
What's up
I wanna know
Whatcha been doing,
And watcha know
Are ya alright
And are ya okay?
Alright
Okay
There are little men who live in Beijing
All they do is sit and sing
But take my advice
And give them a ring
And they'll say . . .
(repeat chorus)
There are great big giants who live in the sea
And all they do is eat green peas
But if inclined, they'll ask . . .
(repeat chorus)
There are octopuses,
Neither big nor small,
And if they really want to,
They'll say . . .
(whisper chorus)
What's up . . .
Politely, I should know
How art thou doing
And what thou knows . . .
Are ya alright
And are ya okay
Alright
Okay . . .
(repeat chorus 2x)
(repeat 1st verse)
