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

I ain't no student of ancient culture
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

Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law

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

I ain't no student of ancient culture
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

Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law in Mesopotamia
They laid down the law in Mesopotamia
