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

 Let's 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
