Let's sing a song of long ago
When things were green and movin' slow
People would 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 ninteen oh-three

Sing a song of long ago
When things could grow
And days flowed quietly
The air was clean and you could see
And folks, they 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 ninteen hundred and three
