Sing a song of long ago

When things were green and movin' slow

And people'd stop to say hello

Or they'd say "hi" to you

"Would you like to come over for tea

With the missus and me?"

It's a real nice way

To spend the day

In Dayton, Ohio

On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903

Sing a song of long ago

When things could grow

And days flowed quietly

The air was clean and you could see

And folks were nice to you

"Would you like to come over for tea

With the missus and me?"

It's a real nice way

To spend the day

In Dayton, Ohio

On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903
