Atlantis ((Italian Version: Atlantis (by Augusto Righetti) - 1969)) Composer(s): Donovan 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
