First release by: Donovan - 1968



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 a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture
The antediluvian kings colonised the world 
All the God's 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 so-called God's of our legends 
Though God's 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 want to be she may be (5x)
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah 
I want to see you some day 
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
My antediluvian baby, My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl 
Girl, I want to see you some day 
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah 
I want to see you some day, oh 
My antediluvian baby
My antediluvian baby, I want to see you 
My antediluvian baby, got to tell me where she gone 
I want to see you some day 
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah 
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah 
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
