Century Plant Lyrics

Outside my house is a cactus plant
they call the century tree.
Only once in a hundred years,
it flowers gracefully.
And you never know when it will bloom.

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
and play the game?
It's never too late.

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
and play the game?
It's never too late.

Clementine Hunter was 54
before she packed up the paint.
Old Uncle Taylor was eighty one
when he rode his bike
across the plains of China (Uh huh).

And the sun was shining
on that day.
Just like today.

Do you wanna come out,
and play the game?
It's never too late.
Hey! Do you wanna come out,
and play the game?
It's never too late.

Didn't know how to tell her
for over thirty years,
he kept locked up inside himself
and no one saw the tears.
And then she went away,
and he woke up that day

Now he brings roses
to his sweetheart,
she lives most anywhere.
He sees someone sufferin'
he knows that despair.
He offers them a rose
and some quiet prose,
'bout dancin' in the shimmerin' ballroom.
'Cause you never know when
they will bloom.

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
and play the game?
It's never too late.
(To play the game)

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
(Do you wanna come out)
and play the game?
(And play the game?)
It's never too late.
(It's never to late to play the game)

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
(Do you wanna come out)
and play the game?
(and play the game?)
It's never too late.
(It's never too late yeah, yeah)

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
and play the game?
(And play the game, play the game)
It's never too late.

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
and play the game?
(and play the game, play the game)
It's never too late.
(It's never too late, never too late)

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
(Do you wanna come)
and play the game?
(wanna come out and play the game)
It's never too late.
(It's never too late yeah yeah)

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
(Do you wanna come out?)
and play the game? (Yeah, yeah)
It's never too late.
(Yeah, it's never to late yeah yeah)

Hey! Do you wanna come out,
(Do you wanna come out)
and play the game?
(wanna come out, wanna come out?)
It's never too late...
