I sing a song of long ago
When things were green and movin' slow
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 a day in Dayton, Ohio
On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903

I sing a song of long ago
When things could grow and days flowed quietly
The air was clean and you could see
The 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 a day in Dayton, Ohio
On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903
