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 Songwriter: Randy Newman
