    History of the world with a twist. A walk through the Lower East Side of Mankind. "The impassioned voice, the sharp and soulful lyrics, the interesting shoes, the large Kramer-like hair which seems to grow thicker every year...Willie Nile brings it all into focus on 'Beautiful Wreck of the World.' Listen to this record!"...Graham Parker

    Lyrics
    HISTORY 101
    (Willie Nile)

    Noah built the ark Moses freed the slaves
    Short Fat Fanny and the Wizard of Oz are out surfin' on the waves

    Jonah fed the whale Joshua blew his horn
    Short Fat Fanny met Abraham Lincoln that's how rock and roll was born

    Plato chewed the fat Hitler bit the dust
    Joan of Arc got an electric guitar God said: "Play it if you must"

    Take me home Take me home
    Through worlds unknown Take me home

    Adam gave a rib Eve got the bone
    Now Tarzan and Jane are up all night makin' love with a telephone

    Moby Dick got a raise Ahab got a lift
    Long John Silver got pieces of eight and Marie Antoinette got stiffed

    Take me homeTake me home
    Through world's unknown Take me home

    Romeo had a knife Einstein had a gun
    Now they both sell sneakers for the NBA that's how the west was won

    Shakespeare got a Mohawk Custer got a buzz
    John Wilkes Booth got a part in the middle and that's the way it was


    Take me home Take me home
    Through world's unknown Take me home
