Atlantis Lyrics By Donovan

    ductory monologue
    the continent of atlantis was an island
    which lay before the great flood
    in the area we now call the atlantic ocean
    so great an area of land
    that from her western shores
    those beautiful sailors journeyed
    to the south and the north americas with ease
    in their ships with painted sails
    to the east africa was her neighbor
    across a short strait of sea miles

    the great egyptian age is but a remnant of the atlantean culture
    the antediluvian kings colonised the world
    all the gods who play in the mythological dramas
    in all legends from all lands were from fair atlantis

    knowing her fate
    atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the earth
    on board were the twelve
    the poet the physician the farmer the scientist the magician
    and the other socalled gods of our legends
    though gods they were
    and as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
    let us rejoice and let us sing
    and dance and ring in the new
    hail atlantis

    way down below the ocean where i wanna be she may be
    way down below the ocean where i wanna be she may be
    way down below the ocean where i wanna be she may be
    way down below the ocean where i wanna be she may be
    way down below the ocean where i wanna be she may be

    my antediluvian baby oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
    i wanna see you someday
    my antediluvian baby oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
    my antediluvian baby
    my antediluvian baby i love you girl
    girl i wanna see you someday
    my antediluvian baby oh yeah
    i wanna see you someday oh my antediluvian baby
    my antediluvian baby i wanna see you
    my antediluvian baby gotta tell me where she gone
    i wanna see you someday
    wake up wake up wake up wake up
